Editorial Reviews
Originally known as The Triumphs and later, The Mascots, The O'Jays would emerge at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with Back Stabbers in 1972. That breakthrough hit joins a set balanced by well-known singles from their artistic zenith and LP-only cuts, including Love Train; I Love Music; Put Your Hands Together; For the Love of Money; Give the People What They Want; Time to Get Down; Livin' for the Weekend , and more.

This CD is terrific. Every song on here is a classic. I only gave it 4 stars because it's missing too many hits. Why doesn't one of the most original groups to come out of the 70's have an extensive box set? Amazon has one listed that is from England I think, but it is missing way to many songs. And why haven't their albums been remastered and rereleased the way that they did Earth, Wind & Fire albums? Weren't The O'Jays just as good and deserving? I realize these guys have about 10 different greatest hits and were on more than 1 label, but come on, it's 2005 and we, the fans of The O'Jays, demand a complete box set.

This CD is an outstanding compilation of most of the O'Jays greatest hits. Digitally remastered, it brings back feelings of admiration for the soulful and melodic Philadelphia style that was the calling card of the group. Fronted by the resounding lead vocals of Eddie Levert and backed up instrumentally by MFSB, the group was in the forefront of R&B in the 70's and 80's. This collection of tunes is a fantastic representation of the great brand of both funky music and love ballads of that era.

I started listening to the O'Jays when I was in high school. My stepfather was a big fan. I loved the sound of MFSB and the songs always had a message. My stepfather liked the gospel flavor. This is one of the best "greatest hits" CD's I've found. There is no "filler" song that wasn't a hit. And the messages still hold true today. I loaned it to my stepfather and now he won't return it! "Love Train" is one of my very favorite songs. I highly recommend this CD to all O'Jays fans.

The Past Became the Present with the First Song
When I ordered the dvd, I did not expect it to be of the quality it actually was. I sang and sang as I played the music and reminisced about the "good ole' days."

Cannot get enough!
Just hearing "Let Me Make Love To You" is enough reason to buy this album. Nothing the O'Jays do can be bad.

These guys speak for themselves. They are class and quality. Compare with the boogie music of today and well you cannot.
