Lyn Collins [1975] - Backstabbers / If You Don't Know Me By Now [People #PE 6605]

The McFadden & Whitehead remix post prompted me to seek this out.  They wrote Backstabbers with Leon Huff, which of course was the title track of the O'Jays first album on Philadelphia International which has become a classic.  

Here's two killer deep soul Philly covers from Lynn Collins from her second, and last, album 'Check Me Out If You Don't Know Me By Now': 'Backstabbers' and 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'.

Backstabbers

Cover of The O'Jays's written by Leon Huff, Gene McFadden & John Whitehead.

This is a completely different, deep soul, arrangement from Lyn Collins which features James Brown, although uncredited, on the track. Brown produced the album.  It was never released as a single.

If You Don't Know Me By Now

Cover of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes written by Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff from the same album, but this one did get a single release, her last R&B charting single (#82) in 1975.
