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.

A boatload of great songs. "Livin' for the Weekend" was the song that started the weekend back in college. It is impossible to sit still, when that starts cooking, or when "I Love Music" opens. "Stairway to Heaven" (which would never be confused with Led Zeppelin's version) along with "Hooks in Me" are among their best love songs.

Gamble & Huff created fantastic music from Philadelphia for a whole new generation of fans. The instrumental backing is tight. Their harmonies are smooth. A lot of wonderful stuff.

Nice collection of the legendary O'Jays 1972-78 recordings. Of course, most of these songs became anthems of the '70s and remain both fresh and timeless to this very day. The partnership which Gamble and Huff, MFSB and The O'Jays formed was a truly dynamic one which gave us some of the greatest Soul Music of all time.

This CD has the extended versions of the songs on this collectors item.
This is the one to buy... It has the beautiful Wildflower, Family Reunion,
For the love of money, and on and on. "Get This".

Hi, we have been looking for the song Wildflower for a while now and my wife is thrilled that she finally has a copy, right now this is the only CD we seems to be listening to. Most enjoyable if you enjoy the O'Jays, highly recommended

THIS CD IS GREAT MUSIC. THE OJAYS IS A WONDERFUL, CLASSY, SOUL WINNING GROUP. I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHILE IN MY CAR. I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT.

If you are a true O'Jay's fan then you will love this CD. It's got all the hits and a great CD to add to your collection. Whenever I am in the mood for some O'Jay I play this CD.
