It was also successful on the pop charts, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in October 1972. The narrator in "Back Stabbers" warns men about their male "friends" who smile to their faces, but are secretly planning to steal their wives or girlfriends.
I know all about this! Watch your back! GOD BLESS!
We can all agree, it doesn't get any better than this
Great seventies....
Yes we can.
It does.
I posted that six years ago...AND I TOTALLY FRICKN' AGREE!!
@@jaye188 It does. NOT get better than this. Just saying.
This was so true back then and still holds today: beware of backstabbers.
Born 1989 still bumpin in 2024
This is one of many great R&B hits that made up the "Philly Sound," produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.
I am a Philly girl, and I am so proud of Philly International Records. They put that shit down Philly style!!! Love my city the good, the bad and the ugly! Keeping us in prayer always!!!
This song is so true. This song always reminds to be careful who I trust and be friends with because not everyone who smiles at me is not my friend
YES MAM ,SO CALLED FRIENDS? NOT UNLESS THEY WANT SOMETHING
I agree. There are many people in this world with that fake smile.....
SMILING FACES SHOW NO TRACES OF THE EVIL THAT LURKS WITHIN ( LUCY).
Good 👍 comment I gotta add you
Love this song cuz it's so true
51 years ago today this song was their debut song
One of the best intros ever
I gave the intro piano a bit of a LIFT.
@@larryhinze what
you took the words
I had no idea that Angie Stone I wish I didn't miss you was actually the intro from this song. And I heard this song by accident while watching the trailer for Looking for Mr Goodbar.
I had two types of FRIENDS....the one’s that were a BLESSING and other’s that were a
LESSON......❤️💯❤️
Dats rightly so
Yep! But unfortunately, sometimes, we've gotta learn that lesson the bloody hard way.
Everybody's a lesson, that's the truth.
TRUE ❤
I only had lessons ie. don’t trust anyone, they’re all like their father 🐍
My parents loved this song when it came out, now I love it too.
Excellent.
Pholadelphia soul at its best!
If they never sung a word, this song would still be great😁 such great music.
Right up there with other soul greats Spinners Stylistics Blue Magic Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes
All, the groups, from, the seventies, were, excellent. We, miss you. The radio, misses, you. Debbie Holst🎉🎉🎉

Real music
I was a teenager when this came out as a hit.
I WAS 16 WHEN THIS CAME OUT WHAT A TIME IN MY LIFE WILL NEVER FORGET THAT INCREDIBLE FEELING
Such a relevent song no matter how old it gets.
I love The Ojays forever.
classic
They're Like Family.
It's wonderful how many of the songs back then sound like movie soundtracks!
Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1972
Epic! I loved this song & music like this back in the days when I was 14-15, even while at the same time heavily fanatic about hardrock, progrock, symphonic rock, bluesrock, countryrock.. if you love music.. these things simply are possible
Fantastic song I remember dancing to this when it first came out when I was fifteen
I remember the song, understanding the lyrics now🙃🙏
"I wish they'd take some of these knives out my back!"- (I know the bloody feeling, mate!)
Unlikewise
May 1st, 2024, still listening 🎶
May 27, 2024...✨

FORT DIX NEW JERSEY 1972.
I LIVED THIS.😢😢😢
this masterpiece should last for 30 minutes
Agreed. That Would Be Dope.
Seriously!
2024 still here I was born in 1995
The 70s and 80s were magical music eras. Some of the best singers and musicians existed in that time zone. The level of creativity and collaborations were in a time capsule of magical spiritual ecstasy that infiltrates the mind body and soul. Some have attempted to imitate it but it has never been fully replicated it's time capsule remains the keeper of the magic.
Beautifuly put 👍totally agree, love and peace coming to you from Liverpool uk x

The intro especially, nervous strings, big piano...

Angie Stone sampled this on Wish I Didn't Miss You. But no one beats the original, never. 💪🏿
Never be a redo or sample better than THIS!!
Sends me through the roof, man.

Great music, great voices, great production value. Let's go!
