The O'Jays - Back Stabbers Album

The Back Stabbers album made the O'Jays a force to be reckoned with in 70s soul and put the Philadelphia trio on the map artistically. Wolfman Jack once labeled the group as "dangerous" and you can see why with singles like the acidy "Back Stabbers" and "992 Arguments," two big hits off the album. Other standouts include the Utopian-oriented "Love Train" and ballads such as "Who Am I" and "Listen to the Clock on the Wall," which gave an early hint of the O'Jays' ultimate status as some of R&B's most enduring romantic figures. If you're into the Philly sound, there's none better.
