The group never broke up. The tides that bind. Real music and thank God for the late Don Cornelius.. Love you always Don. Soul Train was a hope for for Soul music and R&B even in 2021..

    Slowing down and transitioning at 3:24 and on was really smooth. When Eddie moved back from the microphone, creating fade while singing is pure genius. You can hear the purity of the groups voice and pieces of instruments that united perfectly with their voices. Like adding cheese to a burger. Beautiful

    An incredibly high quality live performance. No pitch correctors or backing tracks fed into their earpieces; this is the real deal. Almost no group can reach this standard today live. Philadelphia International Records which was Gamble & Huff produced a staggering number of hits. There is a Nederlands TV documentary on them, that is amazing. Few Americans know how great Gamble & Huff were, and how many groups they wrote songs and produced for, O'Jays probably being their best and most successful.

    I believe that the o'jays was the most requested act to perform on soul train and was because of the fact that they were turning out so many great songs that the people wanted to see and hear them in person. O'jays for life.

    I truly believe that,the greatest group of all times are the Temptations. Just so classy,and on point with their harmonies. But that being said,if you need that funky r&b sound,well the O'jays are it. I always said,if I won the lottery,I would pay these talented people to perform all gospel music for me. In no certain order...the Temptations,O'jays, Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Jennifer Hudson,Johnny Taylor,the Spinners,and Luther Vandross. A ten hour show, because I can afford to.🤣🤣🤣

    Every time I watch this video, I feel like I'm in one of those Southern Baptist Black churches, where the preacher is in the final stages of his sermon and has the whole church in a groove, rocking and standing on their feet, as the preacher belts out every phrase, the members can't sit still any longer, and a bunch of the women, bursting with emotion, are taking off down the aisles, screaming and shouting.

    This was the third year of the program, and I was just a 10 year-old, and I don't remember this episode, but I do remember the clothes though! Ha HA!!
    What's also remarkable is that this album which touched on slavery was No. 11 on the POP Charts! Just phenomenal for the times back then! #longliveWalterWilliamandEddie
