O’Jays – Playlist: The Very Best Of

Description

O’Jays – The Very Best Of (Playlist)

At the start the Seventies, a blast of seismic porportions shook Sigma Studios to its very foundations when the The O’jays recorded “Back Stabbers”.

The production team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff had, in the words of the late music scholar robert Palmer. “found their true voice.” The hits came one after another.

The grooves, the lyrics-now romantic, now political, now spirtual, now whimsical-and the orchestrations, especially the high vocal dramatics, were pitched to perfection.

In an era of remarkable masterworks by marvin gaye, Stevie wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Issac Hayes and Donny Hathaway, no one overshadowed The O’Jays when it came to pure power
