Stilistisch prägend waren die wuchtigen und opulenten Streicher- und Bläserarrangements.

1974 gelang der Band ein internationaler Top-Hit mit dem instrumentalen TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) mit <a href="The_Three_Degrees" title="The Three Degrees">The Three Degrees</a> als Backgroundsängerinnen. Ursprünglich war es die Musik zur US-Fernsehshow <a href="Soul_Train" title="Soul Train">Soul Train</a>; komponiert wurde das Stück von <a href="Kenny_Gamble" title="Kenny Gamble">Kenny Gamble</a> und <a href="Leon_Huff" title="Leon Huff">Leon Huff</a>. In den USA war der Track ein <a href="Liste_der_Nummer-eins-Hits_in_den_USA_(1974)" title="Liste der Nummer-eins-Hits in den USA (1974)">Nummer-eins-Hit</a> und Millionenseller, in Deutschland erreichte das Lied Platz 5.

2004 wurde der Musiktitel Love Is the Message von MFSB in die neu gegründete <a href="Dance_Music_Hall_of_Fame" title="Dance Music Hall of Fame">Dance Music Hall of Fame</a> aufgenommen.
