"Backstabbers" - The O'Jays or Tina Turner?

I was revisiting Tina's "Love Explosion" CD today and I had forgotten that she did an impressive cover of this O'Jays classic. I know most people are probably going to prefer the O'Jay's original version but I really dig both versions.

I hate the music on Tina's version but she sings it well. O Jays version is just fucking epic.
