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 They Don't Make 'em Like This Anymore, May 5, 2002
By 
MCB (Orange, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Message in the Music (Audio CD)
Socially conscious, historically in-tuned, and, (ahem) REAL INSTRUMENTS AND HARMONIC VOCALS! Nobody--and I mean NOBODY--did it better than the O'Jays. The album title and cover lets everyone know what music meant to the inner city people of the 70s and where exactly we got our intense love of music. Where did the 70s go? WHY did the 70s go? What happened to my Schwinn Stingray bicycle with the banana-shaped sparkle-flake seat? (sigh). Peace to all the children of the 70s, wherever you are!

5.0 out of 5 stars One who loves good soul music, August 11, 2000
By 
"maestro2k" (Brooklyn NY U.S.A) - See all my reviews
This CD compilation is a rarity. It has Messsages that are positive and it is good music. My favorite track is "I want you here with me" This song and others are one of the reasons why I bought it.Second of all it is classic and timeless soul music that can hold it's own aginst any R&B song of today.Not even Boys2Men can make people get up and dance like the O'Jays music still does.By the way my age is 29. And i prefer Classic R&B over what is out now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music with substance, May 26, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Message in the Music (Audio CD)
The Message in our music CD reflects music that you can actually get something out of. It should be considered a model for todays artists.
