Synopsis

Amazon.com

After their early-'70s breakthrough with "Back Stabbers" and "Love Train," the O'Jays were the main vehicle for Philadelphia International's social-comment songs. After the likes of the half-hearted "Message in Our Music" became the norm, however, the trio's focus locked mostly on matters of the heart. The results were sometimes inspired (1978's "Use Ta Be My Girl" and a 1991 cover-transformation of Dylan's "Emotionally Yours"), if hardly as essential as their earlier work. This 17-cut CD, though, will be prized by fans. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

Their best predates this album

Eric V. Moye | New York, by way of Dallas | 10/07/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"As much as I dig these guys, I would suggest that money spent on this album would be better spent purchasing their earlier collections, either Collector's Item or their earlier Greatest Hits package.These songs are for the most part fine, but make clear that their best work came in the previous years, from Back Stabbers through Livin' for the Weekend and Ship Ahoy."

A GREAT DISC

"...this is classic material from perhaps the greatest of all soul groups to ever come out and do their thing in tuxedos!
they have so much music, that it does require two or three "best of" editions to catch it all...go ahead and get those, but don't sleep on these classics...that just aint right!..."
