Featuring the "Instant Funk Rhythm Section," "Bad Luck" became a number one hit on the U.S. Dance Chart, which was nearly unheard of for a band known for Philly Soul. With an up-tempo rhythm produced by several brass instruments and Teddy Pendergrass doing vocals, this song had a tremendous impact in the clubs and on the funk and soul scene as a whole. It also became a significant influence on several disco songs, as many in the disco scene attempted to put together the harmonizing vocals and catchy rhythm that this song consisted of which made it such a big dance hit.
