Do you have any friends who are Back Stabbers?

Explanation: Friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc., who “Smile In Your Face” all the time, but in reality what they really want to do is stab you in the back, either as a result of spite (vindictiveness) or because they want to take your place etc. Can you relate to that?

Well let me refresh your memory with a real Old School Music on the subject by:

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

The O'Jays: An American R&B Group

The O'Jays made their first chart appearance with "Lonely Drifter" in 1963, but reached their greatest level of success once Gamble and Huff, a team of producers and songwriters, signed them to their Philadelphia International label in 1972.

With Gamble and Huff, the O'Jays (now a trio after the departure of Isles and Massey) emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with "Back Stabbers" (1972), and topped the Billboard Hot 100 the following year with "Love Train".

Numerous other hits followed through the 1970s and into the 80s and 90s, and The O'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
