“Who’s Making Love” was recorded by singer Johnnie Taylor and released on the Stax label in October of 1968. The RIAA certified it gold on 11/15/68.
The single was a breakthrough for Taylor, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song featured Stax in-house band Booker T. & the MG’s, and Isaac Hayes (on keyboards) and was written by Stax staffers Homer Banks, Bettye Crutcher, Don Davis and Raymond Jackson. Before the release of “Disco Lady” almost a decade later, it was Taylor’s best-selling single.
