It's one of many Philly Soul gems I enjoyed coming up.  The irresistable combo of the now late Teddy Pendergrass, formerly of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, with the M.F.S.B. orchestra chugging away in the back.  One of their best. 

I just felt compelled to post it, as U2Guru came up with such an insightful, deep, profound -- and original -- bit of wisdom, I just couldn't help myself.
