Released on Avco album The Stylistics, 1971
Song reached #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #6 on the Billboard Soul Singles charts. Has often been sampled by the likes of Naughty by Nature (World Go Round) and Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre (Fore Play).
"The ups and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around"
A very lush Philadelphia-soul number satirizing the problems of the early 70s; however, Russell Thompkins Jr.'s falsetto rendering will keep it forever popular.
