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

4.0 out of 5 stars This CD should NOT have been deleted--please reissue it!!!, October 11, 2006

This review is from: In Philadelphia (Audio CD)
Originally released on the Gamble label in 1970, this was The O'Jays' first Gamble and Huff-produced LP. Its sales figures were modest at best and it's by no means as well-remembered as most of the group's subsequent releases but it remains a vital part of the O'Jays' catalog to this day. This is a truly collectable album that truly deserves to be reissued--with better remastering--and is representative of the early-'70s Philly soul sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just getting started, June 11, 2000
This review is from: In Philadelphia (Audio CD)
This is the start of Philly soul. No collection of R&B music can be complete without this cd. The O'Jays were raw then, but who wasn't at one time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The begining, July 15, 2005
This review is from: In Philadelphia (Audio CD)
My favorite Ojay albums are this one and the 'Backstabber' follow-up. This album did not sell well when it first came out and that was a shame. There are some excellent cuts here. 'One Night Affair,' and 'You're The Best Thing Since Candy,' I know for sure were released as singles. 'Let Me Into You're World,' Branded,' 'Looky Looky,' 'I Got The Groove,' and 'Deeper In Love, are all solid. Leon Huff really pounds the keys on 'Looky ,' and 'Deeper.' Those songs are more than enough reason to pick up this disc. You can hear the future Philly sound very clearly here. Just listen to the opening of 'I Got the Groove.' Very underrated album and songs.
