The follow-up to his mega-smash "Me and Mrs. Jones" (#1 on the Top 100 and #1 on the R&B charts), this didn't fare that well on the Top 100 and only hit #79. Evidently Billy Paul didn't want this to be the follow up as he thought "People weren't ready for that kind of a song after the pop success of 'Mrs. Jones'. They were looking for a sequel or at least something that wasn't provocative". Personally, I think the song is a driving piece of funk with a powerful social message.

Peaked at #29 on the R&B chart.
