    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

    "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!

    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.

    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 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔
