About their 45' "King … Read Full Bio ↴1) THE MOODS were a soul group from Philadelphia
About their 45' "King Hustler": "The tune I bring you today is a very funky number by some Volcanos in transition.
At some point after they recorded their Harthon 45s (the one with the funky b-sides), and the departure of Gene Faith to go solo, but before they would emerge as the Trammps, the gentlemen of the Volcanos would record two (and a half) 45s as the Moods.
What information I have been able to find seems to place the 45s in question around 1970.
The group released three 45s.
The first โ โRainmakerโ b/w โLady Rainโ came out on Wand in 1970.
The one you see before you today, โKing Hustlerโ b/w โHustlingโ was released on the local Philly label (maybe one-off) Reddog that same year.
The third โ on Scepter โ re-used โKing Hustlerโ on the a-side, placing it with a new flipside, โWith a Womanโ.
โKing Hustlerโ is a great, hard-edged, Blaxploitation groover that is reminiscent of some of the heavier things the Temptations were laying down around the same time.
The song โ co-written by Sherman Marshall and Len Barry โ features lyrics that reference Philadelphiaโs famous South Street, and going to see โButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidโ at the movies (!?).
The group would reconvene as the Trammps two years later" Larry Grogan

2) The Moods were a rock 'n' roll band hailing from Melbourne, Australia in the mid sixties. While never reaching great chart success, they recieved a great deal of attention through Go-Set, Australia's weekly pop culture 'bible', and were well established in the local mod scene during their short existence.
The line-up consisted of John Livi (lead guitar), frontman Kevin Fraser, Peter Noss (bassist - later replaced by Ian Ferguson of Tony and the Shantells), Carl Savona (drums), and Mick Hamilton (rhythm guitar - who later went on to join The Vibrants).

The Moods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is a good deal what I'm offering
Maybe you're right I am a dirty bitch
This is how I work
This is how it works
Feel free to take
Feel free to leave
Nothing for nothing is my only rule
I see you thoughtful while I'm saying
That you don't have to be so stupid
Cause this could change your life
And this will change you
Feel free to take
Feel free to leave
The lyrics to The Moods's song One for Me One for You can be interpreted in a couple of ways, but the most prominent theme seems to be that of selfishness and transactional relationships. The artist asserts that they operate under the principle of "nothing for nothing," which essentially means that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The singer then goes on to explain that they are offering a good deal, but it comes with strings attached. They acknowledge that they may come across as a "dirty bitch," but that is just how they work.
The second verse of the song suggests that the artist is addressing someone directly, someone who is considering taking them up on their offer but may be hesitant. The singer tells this person that they don't have to be "so stupid" and that accepting the offer could change their life. The use of the word "stupid" here is interesting, as it implies that the potential ally is not being practical or shrewd by turning down the artist's proposal. The chorus of the song is essentially a repeat of the opening lines, emphasizing the transactional nature of the singer's approach.
Overall, One for Me One for You seems to be a commentary on how individuals use power and resources to control others for their own benefit. The lyrics are suggestive of a toxic dynamic in which people are only valued for what they can offer, rather than who they are as human beings.
