The O'Jays' "Money! (Money Money, Green Green)" is a potent slice of socially conscious R&B, delivered with the unmistakable Philadelphia International sheen. The rich instrumentation, those lush strings, the tight horns, all coalesce around a driving rhythm section that never falters. It's a masterclass in arrangements, where every element contributes to the narrative and the undeniable groove. This is sophisticated, soulful funk, recorded with the unparalleled warmth and depth only analog studios of the era could provide.
