Description
Back Stabbers stands as one of the defining statements of the Philadelphia soul sound, cementing The O’Jays as one of the great vocal groups of the 1970s. Produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff for Philadelphia International Records, the album balances lush orchestration with sharp social commentary — the simmering title track ‘Back Stabbers’ and the euphoric ‘Love Train’ remain two of the most recognisable songs of the era. Across ten tracks, including the buoyant ‘Time To Get Down’ and the heartfelt ‘992 Arguments’, the trio of Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, and William Powell deliver performances of remarkable warmth and conviction. This CD brings that essential 1972 recording to a format built for repeated, detailed listening…
