THE OJAYS NEED A COMPLETE BOX SET.
WHILE THIS RELEASE FAIRLY COVERS THE OJAYS' 70S OUTPUT, NO COLLECTION IS COMPLETE UNTIL IT PUTS THE GROUP'S 70S MEGAHITS ALONGSIDE THE OJAYS EARLIER WORKS FROM THE 1960S. TUNES LIKE LONELY DRIFTER..STAND IN FOR LOVE..LIPSTICK TRACES...I'LL BE SWEETER TOMORROW..YOUR LOVE'S THE BEST THING SINCE CANDY..AMONGST OTHERS. A MULTI-DISC, MULTI DECADE MEAGA BOX SET THAT SHOWCASES THE OJAYS FROM THE 1960'S THRU THE 21ST CENTURY IS THE TRUE WAY TO GO. I KNOW I WOULD BUY IT.

Takes me back in time...
I was a young teen when these songs were playing on my AM radio. I enjoyed The O'Jays then, and I really appreciate them now. It's like being in a transporter and propelled back in time. And the songs are as alive today as they were when I was a teen. "For The Love Of Money" is my absolute favorite. I've never tired of listening to it over and over. I even played it for my teenage boys in the '90's and they liked it. You can't help but get up and move to this CD!

Great Flashback
My 12 yr. old grandson heard "Love Train" on a beer commercial. I started singing it & he wanted to know how I knew it. I told him that song was in "my day" and he didn't want to accept that. So, I ordered it, proved him wrong and he has since down-loaded the entire CD on his X-Box. Thanks for offering a great, great memory for me.

Glorious.
During the four-year period from 1972-76 The O'Jays were both unstoppable and the most important group in the R&B world. This compilation offers an execellent retrospective of their recordings and is indispensable for anyone who loves 1970s Soul. The best anthology issued to date of The O'Jays early Philadelphia International tracks. After buying (and enjoying!)this CD be sure to also get their "Backstabbers", "Survival" and "Family Reunion" CDs--all of which are '70s Soul Essentials!
