From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
Ultimately, what Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff were selling, using the medium of well-crafted, danceable and urbane soul music, was a message of “peace in the world, people getting together,” Gamble told writer Chuck Miller in 1998. “That’s what our whole thing was, [what] all our music was about: people uniting, living together in peace and harmony and having fun.”

Love Train – The O’Jays

Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now – McFadden & Whitehead

I Love Music – The O’Jays

You’ll Never Find – Lou Rawls
