The O'Jays were formed in 1958 and named after Cleveland DJ Eddie O'Jay. This was their first Top-40 hit.
Gene McFadden and John Whitehead wrote this song along with Leon Huff, who along with Kenny Gamble produced the track and released it on their Philadelphia International label. The song was inspired by problems Whitehead faced with his family and friends.
McFadden and Whitehead had a hit of their own in 1979 with "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now."
