5 out of 5 stars Classic Soul.......2005-07-15

Classic Soul at its best! If you love classic soul this disc is for you... You'll ending up wanting more! Very fun!

3 out of 5 stars Their greatest? One glaring omission!.......2003-08-11

"The Best of The O'Jays" is an almost best. It's got all of their biggest hits with the exception of their third biggest chart maker..."Use Ta Be My Girl" creates a big hole in this otherwise excellent package from the Epic Legacy series.

If you know the music, you won't be disappointed with the rhythms of the O'Jays and the Gamble/Huff production. The songs are full length and not truncated for radio play. The transfers are very good. The accompanying booklet has an essay written by Robert Palmer and the track listing gives chart dates as well as how many weeks charted and peak chart numbers in both the pop and R&B charts.

A good price point CD, but still wish "Use Ta Be My Girl" was on it. Shame on you Epic!

Four stars for the music, 2 stars for Epic short-changing us.

4 out of 5 stars They Smile In Your Face.......2001-06-11

Before Soul and Pop de-evolved into Disco--the scourge from which modern popular music has never really recovered--there were records around that were rhythm-oriented, danceable, and intelligent. That's a combination almost unheard of in 2001.

The O'Jays, produced by the legendary Gamble & Huff, were among the most popular proponents of the Philadelphia brand of Soul. Along with a few groups from LA, New York and Miami, the O'Jays took over AM radio in the early and mid-1970s, with great singles like "Love Train," "For The Love Of Money," and their masterpiece "Backstabbers." This is a fine compilation of 10 tunes that are truly the best of the O'Jays.

5 out of 5 stars You'll Love This Music.......2000-05-13

Classic seventies soul by one of the key vocal groups of the time. This single CD set is the finest collection of the band's biggest and best-known hits. From "Backstabbers" to "I Love Music", "For The Love Of Money" to "Love Train", this anthology is filled with what made them a key influence on so many modern soul acts. Other collections exist, but this set has top-notch sound remastering, great liner notes and all the right cuts at a really good price.

5 out of 5 stars A definitive collection from P.I.R.'s flagship group........2007-01-15

This is the most comprehensive collection of The O'Jays Philadelphia International recordings. During their fifteen-year association with Gamble and Huff's legendary label (1972-87) The O'Jays made music history and this double-CD set is an excellent anthology. Not only does it feature the charted hit singles--it also features some lesser-known LP tracks. Get it if you don't yet have it!
