The Soul/R&b group Honey Cone was the premier female group for Hot Wax Records, operated by the legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland writing and producing team in the early 1970s after the team departed from Motown Records. They clocked up a string of hits throughout the early 70's with their 1971 singles 'Want Ad's' & 'Stick Up' both going straight in at No.1 on the US R&B charts. This track is taken form their 1972 album Love, peace & Soul, which was their last album before the unfortunate demise of Hot Wax Records in 1973 after the label experienced serious cash flow problems. The opening bars of the song were also sampled by Kanye West on Commons' 'Testify' which featured on his sparkling 2005 album 'Be'.
