The first major hit produced and written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, done by the Soul Survivors, a Caucasian rock band from NYC who recorded in Philadelphia. Gamble based his lyrics on getting stuck in traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway in Philly while trying to get to a young lady's house. Kenny and Leon went on to considerable fame in the 70's as purveyors of smooth Philly soul.
