An intended B-side credited to a lead singer who didn’t even appear on the record. Cliff Nobles and his band made a single, “Love Is All Right” backed by a studio horn section. The flip was simply the A-side minus Nobles’ vocal. DJ’s started playing the instrumental version and the record took off. The horn section and Cliff’s band then tried to get more money out of producer Jesse James but were rebuffed. So those guys (without Nobles) left to become the nucleus of the first incarnation of MFSB, the studio musicians who played behind all those Philly hits produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Go figure.
