Back Stabbers

by The O'Jays

The 1359th greatest album of all time

Back Stabbers (1972) by The O'Jays is a landmark Philadelphia soul album that blends smooth vocal harmonies, lush string and horn arrangements, and rhythmic grooves that bridge classic R&B and early disco influences. The record features the title track "Back Stabbers" and "Love Train", pairing themes of betrayal and social unity with polished production and danceable rhythms, and it exemplifies the Philly soul sound of the early 1970s.
