Happy Birthday to Eddie Levert, longtime member and co-lead singer of the legendary O'Jays, born June 16th, 1942. On June 16, 2024 he celebrated his 82nd birthday. By any measure, the O'Jays are one of the most important Soul Music groups of all-time. Whether delivering funky dance music, romantic ballads, or thoughtful social commentary in song
@@lyndelljones5483 they all could dance they butt off but EDDIE put on a show for you tbh I sometimes forget Sammy is their when Eddie and Walter singing like the first comment stateded those two pair well together
Br. Eddie was having a lot of fun look at his expression they sang their souls out making precious music that takes you to another level. Thank you guys for decades of love and harmony
"Forever Mine" is the epitome of SMOOOOOOTH SOUL! I love the perfect balance between Walter Williams' buttery, velvety vocals and the powerful, gospel-tinged grit in Eddie Levert's vocals. Shout out to Sammy Strain in the middle as all three guys soulfully strut and glide on the floor. And you know a group is smooth when they can totally rock glittery, yellow suits with shoes to match!
Rest In Peace MOM ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND THOUGHTS This is the saddest day of my life I wont be able to see you again mum.Go well. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest in perfect Peace Mummy
Eddie Levert still sings with the same passion. Walter Lee Williams still looks great in his clothing and continues to have a great voice. Both men are nearly 80 years old, been in the same group since 1958. May God continue to protect them as he blesses them with longevity and blesses us with classics from The Ojays. A special acknowledgement to Eric Nolan Grant who is the newest yet wonderful addition to the group since the mid 90s
I wish us black men would listen to this more. 29 years old, grew up on hip hop and my parents listened to this. Now that I’m older I can see this was when us black men where at our peak sexual masculinity until hip hop changed our views. This is when music was made with pure love.
I am a 70s baby and remember sitting in the back seat traveling with my parents, windows down just humming like i knew love. I miss those days, music became my friend, my therapist, my passion. Proud to just be in the midst of music thats filled with love.
Wanda Baker Was is your what is your time today to work with our friend today and your friend will have your number one friend will have to work with your friend who is in your work today with your friend
My boyfriend was at home, while I was working and he recorded himself singing this to me. He sent me the video and all I can say is I love this man. We are both 39 and he is always surprising me with his soul music. ❤️ We have been together for a year. That same night I got home from work at 4am and he played it again and we danced in our room. This will always be one of my favorite moments. 😍 I love you Trav, 😍 🎶 We were made for each other 🎶 🎵 Stay Forever mine, you and I get along just fine!🎵 🎼🎵🎶
After the death of my husband and after 63 years together I thought I was the only one listening to the O’Jays and reliving a lot of memories. Thanks to everyone that made a statement.
I watch this video almost every morning after I return from the gym. I’m 45 and I was brought up on this music. The choreography and dress of these handsome men remain unmatched today. And the lyrics of this song speaks to my soul. I hope to dance to this song on my wedding day. Or any day with my future husband. This is music. This is chivalry. These are the words of real men. #forevermine
This is the type of music that I like . All this new music is trash…. This is when artists cared about their music . They cared about their sound and image . The vocals the stage presence, the outfits , the instruments, the background vocals . Ughhhhh everything is amazing old school music soothes my soul .
The O'jays are so smooth. They are the ultimate entertainers. There performances are just unmatched. I always loved this song. Still listening in 2021.
Walter William's voice remains one of the most 'calming voices' ever. He was just too smooth on this song with his handsome smiles. A huge classic! FOREVER MINE.
ur so right...I've put so many wrong words in songs while listening & singing along, but with Walter, his voice is so clear u'd almost havta be deaf to get the words wrong. My favorite group by far.
I’m a ‘96 bby, & grew up In a household of 3 different generations, blessed me to experience good music! New Orleans, on a Sunday smelling my MawMaw cookin !!! Miss her so much! 🙏🏽❤️
I bet them times was so beautiful didn’t have social media. I bet it was real beautiful families altogether wish it was still like that. I was born in the wrong year 😢
The Manhattans, The O'Jays, The Stylistics, The Temptations, Peaches & Herb, Barry White, Love Unlimited, Earth Wind & Fire, Melba Moore, Timmy Thomas, Maze. Such was my musical education growing up.
I have never enjoyed the choreography of any group as much as that of the Ojays. It was like silky poetry in motion. They were excellence extraordinaire. Moreover, just watching Eddie's facial expressions was like watching an opera in motion.Thank you Ojays for the music and the message.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
When music is made with soul and love and real emotion... It stands the tests of time. Here we are 60 years later and I would rather listen to this than any of today's top songs! I'm 33 btw so I'm not too old lol
ron oneal sorry to hear but seems you are born in an era where expressing your love to women qualifies you to a court trial and possibly imprisonment fueled by the me too movement and feminist group.
My daddy would sing this song to my beautiful mother! We would watch as kids and laugh and just be so happy! 🥰😢🙏🏾 those days seemed so long ago I'm only 42! I love you daddy 🙏🏾
These brothers will be the bearers of high standard in the music world. Walter and Eddie voices mesh so well together. They have set the bar at a very high level for others to follow.
My hubby passed away on February 10,2022. We were married for more than 41 years, and we both respected what each of us liked differently, and we grew to appreciate who we were and melded that together. Everyone who knew us knew wherever he was at I was there too. It hurts to have that emptiness now, he's no longer there to say, "let's go here this weekend", or simply just take off which ever direction, we loved cruising the highways with our music. I love you my hunny bunny forever! RIP my ❤️ love 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔
You guys survived the treacherous years that surrounded our black men during those times. To see you today, you're still stella performers. STILL LOVE YOU!!!
It's 2022 and I'm 72, I can remember when this came out as everything that came out during this era, so many memories and greatest of all I was able to see them live in concert along with so many others. I'm so happy to see our young folks enjoying real music 🎶 🙌
STAY WELL AND REMINISCE FOR "....they WERE the Best of TIMES and The WORST OF TIMES, "🤔 in so many things and areas😦,but NOT AS BAD AS THE TIMES ARE TODAY- UNFORTUNATELY.😬😐
There is NO ONE like the O'Jays, their music will last forever. Took my daughter to see them for the 1st time when she was 7 yrs. Old, she is in her 50's now and she loves their music. I listen to them and it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Oh my goodness, the O' Jay's are some handsome brothers, bellissimo, I can listen to their music all day, and they way they dance is so mesmerizing. They don't make music, singers or dancers like this anymore.

It's sad how distasteful & horrible music is today. 😞
Name a group today that can hang with them…the vocals, the choreography, the stage presence, the showmanship! THIS is what people mean when we say today’s music is missing something!
I'm 1996! My great uncle had the BIGGEST record collection ever of great black artists, even little known ones. He'd throw these huge cookouts at his house and EVERYBODY would be there!!! Late into the night we'd all gather in the basement that was an apartment in disguise and he'd play his records. I'm so glad to have been exposed to so many and I love old school ❤️ RIP TO HIM 🙏🏿
AND MUSIC WILL NEVER SOUND LIKE THIS ANYMORE.THIS SOUND LEFT US WHEN BLACK FOLKS GOT OLD AND LET THE YOUNGSTERS BRING RAPPERS IN.😮😮😢😢😮😢😮😢😮😮.GIVE ME THE GODFATHER JB.ANYTIME .DELFONICS, BILLY STEWART. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Charles Melonson you’re right it doesn’t get any better than this because you don’t hear real music like this that came straight from the heart and soul nowadays all you hear is lyrics about a lot of negativity and nonsense
Please Lord bless me with a forever mine kinda love! This would be a beautiful wedding dance song!! I'm praying Lord! Thank you O'Jays for letting the fellas know how to express love again! xo
This is superb! How come nobody applauses Sammi Strain, vocalist in the middle? He switches from one step to the next perfectly! C'mon Sammi I think you're amazing love you
Pure magic...handsome man...wonderful voice 😍😍😍 I'm a grandma now..was a teenager in the 70's...but I'm back there again listening to the Great O'Jays...
Cesar Bibian: Yea right....they say they hate it. ut turn right around a d try to imitate it. Have you. noticed on those talent shows the Whites mostly choose Black music and styles?
My neighbors just called me the oldest 40 yr old they know because for the last hour I've been playing 70s Soul for them since they're in their 80s. I want them to enjoy themselves on this holiday 😊
times may change but love songs are forever, they never fade

facts i’m 19 and my dad loves oldies and i do too , like u said music today is demonic
I mean technically all secular music is "demonic" if we go by that
Agreed
Facts 💯
They don’t make music like this anymore. Way too honest…way too vulnerable. This current generation cannot understand.
Facts
Yes because this music would change the world now and life would be simpler again
I'm loving this.takes me back to the good days.
My daughter is 16 and she said she was born in the wrong era. She said she definitely was made to be in the 70s ❤ I def taught my daughter well 🥰
😊
Congrats bro
❤
I feel the same 😭
I like how Eddie goes hard then Walter comes and smooths it out
Yes it’s perfect❤🎶🎤🎼
I swear I get hype Everytime he sings his part. ❤️Eddie
It’s crazy it seems like Walt doesn’t even try it just comes out like that 😂🔥🔥🔥
Eddie is rightfully known as one of the great soul singers of our time, but Walter Williams is an underrated great singer.
I love how the one in the middle dance what his name?

I absolutely agree! I'm a great grandmother now, but this still gives me chills!!!!

The Spinners with Felipe Wynne
I'm 1996! My great uncle had the BIGGEST record collection ever of great black artists, even little known ones. He'd throw these huge cookouts at his house and EVERYBODY would be there!!! Late into the night we'd all gather in the basement that was an apartment in disguise and he'd play his records. I'm so glad to have been exposed to so many and I love old school ❤️
RIP TO HIM 🙏🏿
Thanks for sharing this us!❤😊
We sure had the most beautiful times in our days, can't never forget, the beauty in this music!🕺💃
96 here❤
Brings me back to when times were filled with love. Who's still listening to this pure soul in 2021?🌬
They don’t make music like this anymore 😢

Washington state. I’m 68y. Started listening in 1974. Graduated from high school in 1974, yep. Was a good year. 🎉😊
IT DOES'NT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
Charles Melonson you’re right it doesn’t get any better than this because you don’t hear real music like this that came straight from the heart and soul nowadays all you hear is lyrics about a lot of negativity and nonsense
Sing that song ojays
@@margaretcampbell3464 Charles Melonson bad life, bad experienced, those are people do not appreciate good music.

One of the greatest singing groups that graced the stage. Eddie Lavert was a great singer

It just blows me away that people can sing like this. Just blows me away.
One of the best albums of the year on the R&B charts. I saw them in person when I was 14 years old. I went crazy.
I love music I'm only 41 and I loved this song since I was a little girl
Seeing them in concert was AMAZING!! Eddie's voice is everything!!!
nobody can hate on this jam . this is music
winston perry White folks can
stupidity at its best
Cesar Bibian: Yea right....they say they hate it. ut turn right around a d try to imitate it. Have you. noticed on those talent shows the Whites mostly choose Black music and styles?
Real music
The lead singer I have just fell in love with him!! A man that fine, smooth, can sing and BLACK!!!
Did you know 1 of them singers was Gerald la vert father.
Uhh you mean African American he is not a crayon
@@iamimariwright1475 no it's BLACK hunny!! Screw that "politically correct" crap! Say it loud, I'm black & I'm PROUD ✌
they all look delicious and fine, silky black and brown skin, just the way i like it BLACK BLACK AND BLACK!
@@elihardy3334 all you have to do is hear Eddie Levert's voice and everybody knows. Gerald' s voice is a carbon copy of his dad' s.😉
My neighbors just called me the oldest 40 yr old they know because for the last hour I've been playing 70s Soul for them since they're in their 80s. I want them to enjoy themselves on this holiday 😊
