This one of the best message songs ever recorded by The O'Jays Give The People What They Want in 1975 I love the Philadelphia sound like Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Billy Paul, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, The Stylistics, Blue Magic, The Delfonics, The Three Degrees, Patti La Belle, The Jacksons, Archie Bell & The Drells, Lou Rawls, and lots more too great songs doesn't get any better than this instead of today's music!!! I love the Philadelphia sound!!!! God bless you Gamble & Huff!!! Keep the music going!!!!

They don’t do that anymore in the music industry

THIS SONG should be played in regular rotation on radio stations all over the world RIGHT NOW! It should serve as an inspiration and a motivation for the people to stand up and fight back against corrupt governments wherever they may exist on the planet. PEOPLE RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOURS!

I agree wholeheartedly. It's very uplifting and fun to dance to also. It was so sad that Eddie lost his two sons. They were so talented.

I say work for it. Fighting prematurely grinds you, and generally gets you nowhere. Work and think about what has to be really has to be done. Remain on the progress mode. Wake up and stay woke!

First time I heard this gem. Was on GTA IV - Radio Station: International Funk classics from West Africa, The U.S and everywhere else ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

48 years later and this still sounds just as it good as it did around this time back in 1975.

Definitely one of my favorites. However, at the 3:04 mark, they start with too many cymbal crashes. Would have been better without so many for the rest of the song.

This song age really well

The first time i fell in love with this song it was being performed by Grambling State University's marching band. Great memories.

Bass line is killing it...dead on in that groove. I swear some of the people who designed (or created) some of the synth Bass tones were trying for this sound. Excellent production too.

Just saw the O’Jays on Jalen and Jacoby. Brought back a lot of memories of the 60s and 70s music. They were fantastic! Made me go and listen to some of their new stuff and they are just as good. The message is still powerful and their voices are strong.
