The O'Jays are sensational, plain and simple. They can belt out tunes with the best of them, anywhere, anytime. Great songwriting plus great singing means great music and this set is full of awesome songs.

All the hits are here, "Love Train," "For the love of money," "I love music," "Backstabbers."

All the non-hits are great, too. Well, with this group, there's hardly a thing called a non-hit. I love "Stairway to Heaven," which is not the lame song by Led Zepplin, but a slow, soul standard which should've been a radio hit, but wasn't. The last song, "Darlin, Darlin, Baby," is done in the fashion of "Use ta be my girl." It's excellent, as is this whole album.

...it definitely has some tunes I don't recall liking so much when they first released then that are must hear jams to me now when I pull the CD from the collection and let ride...like Got to Give The People What They Want and Let Me Make Love to You. My three pieces of trivia about this product are #1 originally it was put out as a two record LP, so it's a bit longer than the average CD. #2 about this time also Eddie Levert and label mate Teddy Pendergrass has a competition going on how many ladies they can effect by their vocal prowess...who knows who one that one...#3 the PI in house band MSFB were cookin' during these years--from their rhythm section so prominent in For the Love of Money to the full orchstra in Sunshine. I Loves MSFB, baby. Anyway, this is a fab product that you will simply love...

this group is great.they haven't been around long for no reason.this set showcases many of there classics.i love music alone is a 5.the philly sound is in full effect.gamble&huff and crew mixed with the ojays soulful vocals are a perfect match.
