Description:
“For The Love Of Money” stands as one of the O’Jays’ most iconic statements — a hypnotic, socially conscious groove produced by the legendary Gamble & Huff at Philadelphia’s Sigma Sound Studios. Anchored by Anthony Jackson’s groundbreaking bassline (played through a phaser pedal), the track unfolds as a slow-burn funk sermon warning of greed and corruption. Its mix of lush orchestration, driving rhythm, and gospel-tinged harmonies captures the full power of the Philly soul movement.

This single became a defining track of the 1970s, later revived by CBS’s The Apprentice as its theme song, bringing it renewed cultural recognition. It’s also been widely sampled
