Biography

The O'Jays were one of the most popular and successful bands of the Philadelphia Soul genre in the 70s. Thanks to top songwriting and production team Gamble & Huff, they had a string of memorable hit singles, and multiple gold and platinum albums.

First forming in 1958 as the Triumphs, it took a long time for the band renamed The O'Jays to attain success. In the mid-60s they had a number of minor… Read more in Amazon's O'Jays Store

5.0 out of 5 stars ...maan, dont you know i will fight you for this!, January 27, 2002

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best of the O'Jays: 1976-1991 (Audio CD)

...this is classic material from perhaps the greatest of all soul groups to ever come out and do their thing in tuxedos!
they have so much music, that it does require two or three "best of" editions to catch it all...go ahead and get those, but don't sleep on these classics...that just aint right!...

3.0 out of 5 stars Their best predates this album, October 7, 2000

Eric V. Moye (New York, by way of Dallas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best of the O'Jays: 1976-1991 (Audio CD)

As much as I dig these guys, I would suggest that money spent on this album would be better spent purchasing their earlier collections, either Collector's Item or their earlier Greatest Hits package.

These songs are for the most part fine, but make clear that their best work came in the previous years, from Back Stabbers through Livin' for the Weekend and Ship Ahoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic O'Jays hits, even up to the '90s too!
I thought that this O'Jays best of is the best to cover not just the '70s but the '80s and '90s. They proved that they could even have top 10, top 5 and No. Read more
