March 24, 1973 –
The O’Jays’ single Love Train (considered to be one of the first disco songs,) went to No. #1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
The song was written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, producers for the O’Jays. The team of Gamble & Huff would go on to write and produce over 170 gold and platinum records – and they also wrote Back Stabbers and For The Love Of Money, two more key songs in the O’Jays’ career.
