Lyrics:
I love music
Any kind of music
I love music
Just as long as it's grooving
I love music
Sweet, sweet music
Long as it's swinging
All the joy that it's bringing

Who's listening to this classic at this moment 2024 ?
Those were OUR days!
Me!!! ❤
Me. (smile).
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Right here ✌️
These songs are bittersweet. If you're old enough, they will make you smile because they remind you of good times and the people you shared those good times with. And they will make you burst into tears because 2/3 of the people you shared those good times with are no longer with you 😢
Well said. That's what's so sad about getting older. The Great times are long gone and are now Bitter Sweet, and the sad things you must keep active, so as not to dwell on.
♥️♥️♥️♥️ you are blessed with the memories of good times with good people ♥️♥️♥️
and that's EXACTLY how i feel because right now with tears in my eyes i'm thinking of my mama, daddy, grandparents, cousins, and friends that have passed.
I like the first part of your paragraph.
Yup, Bittersweet is correct🥲
I’m a younger person, but something I’ve noticed from older music, especially from the 70s and some 80s, is how masterful the arrangement and mixing were. Even if the recording equipment wasn’t the best, they arranged their songs accordingly. They played instruments damn good back then, too. Something about those analog days just hits the spot. In modern digital music it’s hard to find a song that is well mixed and mastered in this fashion, even amongst industry professionals. It’s more “empty” now, there’s often something missing, and sometimes the frequency is even headache-inducing. Nevertheless I enjoy music from all eras, but it seems this style of music recording among popular genres hasn’t been passed down… I would love to hear about what changed from veterans in the industry.
Well said 💖
I believe they just lost their way, money was more important than sharing it with other band members 😔
Bands don't play music like they used to. Drum machines and synthesizers have taken over. A synthesizer cannot match live horn or string arrangements. And a drum machine cannot match a live drummer and live percussion instruments.
Great Music is AGELESS..💯💖
Pro tools is what changed in my opinion. Made things too easy, people lazy, and everything sound the same.
Our music was so damned good back then - we baby boomers were so lucky to be able to listen to songs like this.
Yes yes yes. I'm 63 yrs old those's were the years music was so damned good us baby boomers. And yes time just went too fast.. But I still listening to our music from the 60's 70's till this day 2023 . Single lady from Texas Maria
I call it the Golden Age of music
Just leave the generations after the baby boomers alone. The lack of that generation was to teach the descendants how to handle acentry.@@matiaescobefo746
Hell yea!
Im From Brooklyn and I remember record stores that would blast the latest Songs that u could hear throughout the street or at Empire Roller Rink on Empire Blvd! And soul train was a Saturday classic!
The sound of Philly! Who's still listening until the end of time? 🙂❤👍👏
It really does feel like the end of time lol
I'm 40. I remember hearing this on oldies 98.1WOGL growing up!
For 50 years
Couldn't of said it any better. TSOP was something special. It seemed to come at a time that was the ounce of the disco era.....good stuff.
still banging old school,in philly its the #1 rule,on 76 old grandmarquis, jammin hard never ceist,cops behind me bobbing there heads in disbelief 😂
Bless you geebee. Greetings from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I’m a 59 year old man btw. You’re a lady but you are not old. In spirit especially.
You're beautiful lady. I can tell
This song will never get old !!!!
when you have nothing left in this world, you still have great music like the Ojays.
Indeed.
Baddest Jam Ever❣️
Amen!❤🎶🎶🎶🎶❤🎶🎶🎶❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤
❤😊❤Agreed: The Ojays, The Spinners, The Isley Brothers, Heatwave, Ohio Players & Blue Magic.
Yes,when you are down and out, no body to turn to, this band and music will bless you with joy and love.
I'm seventy two years old and I still love this music! Keep up the awesome vibes. Yessssss!!!!!!!!!!
😊
That's what real music sounds like!
Here,Here now.
True
great stuff 60s and 70s where did it go
Absolutely!!!!l YES!!!!❤❤❤
Absolutely.
Can. Anyone. Relate. To this. 1975
O. Jays. ?? The. 70s. Produced. Some
Very. Good. Music!!!!! Yes!
An era never to be heard again
That why guys like me who are still in early 30 pushing this music to younger generation gotta keep it alive
Larry Washington on congas. Ronnie Baker on bass. Earl Young on drums. Norman Harris arranging.
Who could ask for more.
This WILL make you cry and say "WTF happened to music?" This IS true music! Miss this sooo much. Today's music has nothing to say, nothing worthwhile to listen to, it's a damn shame!
Absolutely NOTHING to say. I honestly enjoy salsa and all Spanish grooves but gospel fills me the most.
@@dawnwright5542 I meant today's English music in general. Like there's no more Motown, good music in general. Other language music at least kept their love language, ours didn't unfortunately.
@@KFilippi2525 I love my Spanish music tho--the lyrics!!!!
This is REAL music. Music like this knows no race, no boundaries.
Music brings the world together.
Keep playing that music 🎶 🎵 can't get enough of it I grew up with this music 🎶 👌 I play this music during the college football season when the Kentucky Wildcats play
Thank you 🏈🏈🏈🏈
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
@@kevinwatson46 Robert here, you got it big time, UCLA is mine. All throughout high-school football practices, yeah we got to play music, Cif.
AMEN YES INDEED !!!!!!!
What happened to today's music? This song is a timeless classic. "Music is the healing voice of the world." I wish I could go back to the 70's & 80's.
There's lots of great music out there from all eras, you just gotta know where to find it. You need recommendations, hit me up.
This is real music 🎶❤
@Poo It's not though. I bet you'd find something you liked if you gave it a chance. There's something good out there in virtually every genre (maybe not counting super specific ones).
Some rubbish replies here. Music now does not have real instruments sublime production and driving rhythm
70s for me like this song
I love music, I love Jesus. 🎶🎵🎶🎼💃💃💃💃😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes yes
😊
I love music and I love Goddess.
ME TOO 🤗 I LOVE JESUS✝️😍😍😍‼️
Amen❤
Na-Na-Na.
Absolutely love this song.... I remember being a little kid and my Dad playing this album. Such simple and beautiful lyrics... 😍 💕
I LOVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!
Mama said haya haya Janice I'm so complete, harmony,
I miss my dad. I get my music ear from him
What a beautiful song nice memories still listening I love it... How are you Gina ?
Pops was the dj at all the cookouts at our house, the cook on the grill as well as the bartender, thems was the good days.thats why I love music.
When I was young I had a small radio literally glued to my ear, trying to tune into music. Occasionally I would hit a station that poured out this magical music and for 5 minutes of my life I was transformed into another dimension of pure happiness. It was so heavenly. Pure joy. I will never forget that memory of discoverimg this amazing music. ❤️🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️
So true 👍
Beautifully said! Thank you!
AMEN. AMEN!!! Thank God for music from mighty ministers like the O'jays.This is the music that gives you the strength to hold on in these tomes! Glory to God!
Back when a radio station only played your favorite once every 24 hours. Made you appreciate it even more. Your right for 3-5 minutes all was good.
Exactly
Remember my Franco-American Aunt married my Spanish Uncle, and they bought a brand new '72 Impala in Silver and would crank this on the stereo whenever we'd go visit them and head-out for Ice Cream. Boston Mass in the 1970's; there was nothing quite like it
What a wonderful memory!
Was an honour to have experienced this generation of music 🎵🙏🌿
I love all kinds of music , worshiping Jesus Christ Amen, Hallelujah ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
This song has literal tears coming to my eyes
Even me dear
Tears of sheer JOY!!!!
Yessss ...
Me too
I am glad God created Music 🎶 🎵 🙏
Yesssssss❤
This song was at my cousins funeral and 2013 and I listen to it every day as a reminder of him the best cousin ever cousin John
Can't be sad listening to this happy song! I LOVE MUSIC! YESSSS I DO! Just what I needed to snap me out of the deep sorrow I'm experiencing due to the death of my ex-husband, the father of my two sons. R.I.P. Maxie. I always loved you. God loved you more. I'm thankful that He took you out of your suffering. I will always be thankful for our time spent together. Because of you I have two great sons I am still alive to see bring honor to your name.
Erma Bowden Sorry for your loss, 1 year later.
Erma Bowden sorry to hear about your lost..and I hope music brings you back it can.. have faith..good bless you
May he forever rest in peace.
🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿❤️
Sorry about your loss 💔
One of the best groups from 70's to present....I can just sit up and listen to them..All of their songs are exceptionally well put together....
Class period.
Absolutely scores of hits not many can match these guys' catalog...
"Sit up"?!? You don't "get down"?
REALLY good music.....meaningful lyrics
The soul of the 70s! Wow. Great music to grow-up on.
I am a big fan of the disco, funk Era but I must say that soul music takes it a step further . Soul folks deserve plenty of credit indeed. There won't be another Marvin Gaye around to come up with I heard it through the grapevine or brother, brother..... Gosh how talented these people were!!
Yes, Donald! Agree.
Gamble and Huff wrote this song.
One of the nicest album covers that help spread joy
Now this is REAL black music. No auto tune nonsense. Great 4x4 beat,great lyrics and guys who could sing. Takes me right back to 1975. Sadly black music today does not deserve to be
in the same room as these legends. Great Gamble/Huff song. Just Brilliant.
I'm a white guy but I'm cream-colored I love this music you guys are the greatest thank you Godspeed
Classic music
I'm Puerto Rican and this great music inspires me 👌🏻
Auto tune makes music sound out of tune.
What about boy’s to men?
One of the greatest bands of all time! No discussions on this, no negotiations!
Yup. MFSB.
Who can ever get tired of listening to O Jays!
Awesome. Just awesome.
Lovin' You
Cry Together
Darling Darling Baby
Family Reunion. ( Shoot, all 4 sides of my fam can use one, especially my generation and younger )
Edit: Love Train. Cannot forget Love Train
I embrace everything about this Era! Never thought it would go by so fast! 💨💨💨💨😁🤗🤗
You and I both! Man do I wish for those good time and good music again!
O’JAYS withstood the test of time....still sounding FANTASTIC in 2023...”Old School Entertainers 💯❤️💯
100 % the best from the seventies keep bringing me back!
❤ mooi
Still fantastic 2022❤
To this day I'm still rocking this on a regular. Good music y'all, This sounds so good.❤️It helps to heal the soul..🙏🏾
You are so right!😊😊
real as it gets
Dance the night away BABY!!!
This generation has not a clue! Real musicians no machines no auto tune! Just soul and fire!
I agree 💯 totally
YES. Then generation has no clue--and it's not their fault. I hope some of them seek to find the real music!
Not a clue--and it's not their fault, either.
My favorite OJays song by far!
Me too my Favorite
MINE TOO.
Classic "sound of Philly" stuff. Still sounds great in 2022.......
TSOP all day! The music from Philly sticks to you more for some reason
Gamble and Huff were legendary.
Still sounds great in 2023….
@@Karen_734 You are 100 % correct
PEOPLE ARE GONNA STILL BE SINGING THIS IN THE YEAR 3000 AND BEYOND
I can attest to that definitely. Of course we all would’ve you know transitioned and be in new bodies but I do agree.😌
I've got about 7000 albums, roughly 3500 cassette tapes (some mixed from the radio, when the DJ is talking in the beginning--just for posterity), and about 5000 CDs (3000 more that my daughters nicked). Couldn't tell you how much I've collected otherwise. I plan on leaving all the music to my grandkids. Great grandkids, if I live that long. I've albums from my grandparents to vinyl I still order occasionally from the Net. Soundtracks, you name it: It's in there.
We owe it to the kids to give them ALL the music. If nothing else, it is the universal language. Peace. x
ETA: Eldest grandkid just reminded me of the handful of 8 Tracks I still have. Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic, pink Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti and some jazz from Dad.
I don't have the words to say how good this song is
What Could be better than a Sweet love Song
JUST MUSIC TO DANCE YOUR HEART OUT TO FULL OF LIFE,HAPPINESS!! ENJOY,ENJOY..I AM AS OF FEB 24,2024
SAME ❤ life is to short and when u think about it's too good to waste even in the worst of times hope your doing well and still dancing 😊❤
YES THANK YOU. YOU TOO!
That's when we had REAL music that lifted our spirits, nurtured our souls, gave us hope, encouraged our natural loving and sexual natures. What followed recently is hostility, violence, psycho-sickness leaving you bankrupt--watch out! cover your hearts when it comes on the radio, tik tok or anywhere else!
Toxic music!
Well said 🙏
Agreed 💯
You're telling the Truth !!! ❤
I love this track, everything works: the song, the way it's sung, the drums, the amazing backing vocals and the whole atmosphere it creates.
Wonderful stuff.
Arranged by Bobby Martin.
Can you believe that back then they actually used artists to actually put it all together. Nothing programmed🤔. Amazing talents.
You guys are great keep up the few music
I love this music keep it going
Funny videos I can take my glasses off
Healing force of the world.....
I could listen to this ALL DAY LONG ❤❤❤❤
Darling back in the day we did listen all day long.
1963; went to Uof Georgia road trip. Met a beautiful gal from the KKG house; fell in love and heard this song at the same time
No music "made" today could ever equal the 'Jays soul saving creations. EVER.
Right on!
Basically the whole song is a hook. Everything works. The rhythm section, the vocals etc.. Brilliant and timeless track.
This will get me up on the dance floor - all by myself - love this song
same, just me, the music and the podium.
Me too ☺️
me too gotta dance oh man do sometin ha
Me too
One of the GREATEST SONGS EVER!
Used to play this song in the '70's, on the way to work every morning on my 8 track. Lived 4 miles away. 6 minute song, got me there quick. Walk into work ready to roll.
I like that album cover. Captures the ideal of unity.
Horns, strings, drums, vocals, just outstanding. Thanks Gamble& Huff you guys rocked the Philly Sound..
they had help, don't forget, BOBBY MARTIN and THOM BELL.
my funeral song......there will be no tears and 70s dress only
toshtile me too ! This one and The Spinners “I’ll be around”
I love u for dat............my statements exactly
Great idea!
🙂
Yes!!!! ☮️☮️☮️💜💜🐾
can i go to that funeral be a pleasure
Music is definitely the healing force of the world, especially in 2020.
EXACTLY!!!
I totally agree.
Shame that they don’t play good music on the radio anymore.. can’t compare this to today’s music
@@jackthe-lad8120 we’re all one human race ❤️
@@jackthe-lad8120 yes and many fools play into it. That is why I dont watch news anymore. I don’t listen to radio. Mainstream media is full of filth. I listen to podcasts to peoples opinions that interest me without agenda to corrupt my mind. I listen only to music with good message.. there’s still good music being made today.. we just need to look harder for everything, because its wild out there..
I am smiling and singing along with the song 🎉
The O'Jays at their finest! My late grandfather loved this song. He'd have the whole house up dancing to this one! Such a beautiful, slightly haunting melody.
"I love music" is a good title for this song. I mean . . . Who could not love this kind of music?
Still listing 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

*THURSDAY JULY 9 2020 1:48 PM CDT*
I think you have gotten the wrong idea mister. Sure they said, "I Love Music", but you missed what they said after that. They also said, "Any kind of music".
So not only were they referring to "this kind of music" as you put it, but ALL kinds of music, my friend. 😒

Amen, my friend.
Ahhhhh I sure do miss the 20th Century.
For O’Jay fans, I encourage you to watch them perform with Daryl Hall at Daryl’s House (available on UA-cam). Even in their 70’s, these men can really sing. I admire their talent so much.
Yasss! There performance on Daryl Hall's,from Daryl's House is amazing! I definitely second this, It's quite the treat! The O'Jays are like wine... They only get better with time & That's that they started already being phenomenal!
Easily one of the best music vids on the internet. Live at Daryl's House
@@OcelotlAlma13 It all comes from the song "It Just Gets Better With Time" by The Whispers (which is another great band), so I agree with that wholeheartedly.
You said 'Daryl Hall'. That's an automatic turn on. This coming from a Hall and Oates fan. I've listened to a lot of these groups and have my appreciation of this music as I started listening it from my dad in the 80s. And to be honest I have not let up from this.
@@EightCrosstown Thennnn, I'm sure you've listened to Darryl's cut 'I'm In A Philly Mood'? If you haven't, search the cut with the official video on here. This song folks slept on. Don't know why but it still sounds good 27 yrs later!
Pure soul singers , singing from the heart with feelings and emotions..... much love for my peeps
There's something about soul music that is absolutely amazing . Only the carefree, self confident, relaxed black people's attitude could have produced it. There's no way the white people who feel lost and naked unless they have a plan from start to finish to rely on could have imagined that a song could be made also on improvisation and still sound perfectly balanced. That's a thing that was used in jazz as well.humanity ought to be grateful for the black people 's huge contribution to the world of music.
Your peeps include me, an old white lady! I have ALWAYS loved this song. 🎵🧚🏻😎
I'm so grateful that autotune was not involved during this Era. Really Singing from the heart. Not fake ❤️💯
Art is how a society feel about itself, we were free, happy, and healty so our music reflect that.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏿 ETERNALLY GRATEFUL THAT THE 70S EVER WAS.💯✨
A TRUE MASTERPIECE!!!
A #5 hit for The O'Jays in January/February 1976. It went to #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and the Disco charts. It went to #7 on the Cash Box charts. Outside the US, it went to #9 in Canada and to #13 in the United Kingdom.
That was such an awesome time for music ..... this song was in the pop top 10 as the same time as songs like 'I Write The Songs', by Barry Manilow, 'The Theme From 'Mahogany'' by Diana Ross, and 'Love Rollercoaster' by The Ohio Players ..... take me back to 1976!
O'jays made hits after hits. My favorite group.
Listening to this song, thinking about my father yesterday. He was in his hospital room sitting up playing pc games and listening to music. The day before yesterday, his left lung collapsed. 24 months ago, his right lung collapsed and was on ventilator for a week or two, I forgot exact time frame. Praise Jesus this time not need a ventilator. At least this time he already was in hospital ( pneumonia ). He was looking and sounded so great the two or three days before lung collapsed. Shows how fast things happen, in unexpected ways. He also has either stage 3 or final stage COPD. Been in hospital since night of his 78th birthday 3 weeks ago.
This song played on my mind yesterday after talked to nurse and it also played on my mind day or two afterhe was off the ventilator 24 months ago after hearing he was sitting up playing music.
I'm from '76, my bro, '67. Same year, just in reverse! 😉😂😂😂😂😂
Me and my dad. Together 4ever!❤❤❤❤
Same today!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eddie Levert: THE most powerful voice in soul music. Period.
We need to end the hateful divisive vibe and remember the joy we all shared together in the music. We need more O'Jays in our life. Like the Family Reunion Album Cover shows we are all family.
Music united people once, now the newer stuff seems to divide us more.
You are soooo right!
I love old school music!!!
I was in high school when this album dropped. This is by far my favorite song on the album. Still listening October 12, 2021...
Real music!! 🎵
Yo man Eddie is the best ad-lib singer I ever heard in my 52 years. Just listen to how he starts this joint off...I love the guy
I agree 100 percent..Eddie's knows how to get'em up and rolling to the music. Thanks for sharing your talents to the would.💙
Probably one the top bands of the 70's disco era. and 70's period.
I agree 😃
It's the congas in the beginning for me. Too sick 🔥🔥🔥
I grew up listening to music that's why I love music!😉
Still puts good vibes in these old bones...nuff said !
High vibrational music for your very soul!!! You can tell when a song makes you feel alive!!! Like you can feel the very cells inside your body moving to the groove!!! Yes!!!!
Happy 77th birthday to Eddie Levert, one third of the legendary group O'Jays, very much the spokesman for the group too, they scored massively worldwide with this belterjam from 1975
I lived in Philly for 20 yrs and saw Kenny Gamble in a deli downtown….I was too scared to approach this musical genius. This songwriting duo is music royalty…..✊🏾
hahaha, that must've been awesome. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, part of what makes American Classic Music so great. I could listen to this fifty times in a row I bet...reminds me of going to the Beach so many years ago
Best era ever. Will never be duplicated. And im an 80s baby...but even my gen bows down. We know whats what!!!
Now that's what you call music
When you had to put the needle to the groove. Literally!

I love the Ojay’s!!!! Great memories!!!
Yessss the best of times
People what you don't understand this music of the 70s ....it never gets old..I'm playing the 70s right now
