Thirteen years ago I was you. I am still giddy and even more happy at nearly 70. My wish for you that you are the same when you get to where I am. This song just personifies everything for us.
It was this singing that amongst other things convinced us that we are beautiful as black people. That apartheid was deadly wrong. A lie. An evil. That such a singing could only come from a better civilization. This music kept us intact. We never became racist in fighting apartheid. Thanks for this great music
If you were blessed to listen to this kind of music in the 70s listening to some of the music today will take you back to a specific time and place during those years. 😊
For real! He was not only lead on this song, but also lead on "Darling Darling Baby." (Another of my all time favorites). All the while, he was suffering from multiple sclerosis and, sometimes, barely able to perform dance moves on stage at live performances. Much love to him and the O'Jays!
Please 🙏🏾 for Eddie who is battling some serious health issues. But it's scary to think we could lose this legendary voice...Get well soon Eddie and get back to what you do best..."SANG"
This song was played constantly by my sister when I was growing up and when I hear it I’m sadden, because she passed away a few years ago this was one of her favorite.
can't help but think of Philadelphia's 105.3 WDAS fm whenever i hear this song. i grew up hearing this nearly everyday out there throughout the 1990's. i no longer live there now but this song takes me to those days every time. great melodies, great harmonies. bonified classic here.
I've been in love with this idealized man since my late teens, I still am. Forty years and two divorces later admittedly, part of my problem was having a low tolerance for the flaws of the human man. Blessings to those out there who found the balance and are making it work. 💞
"...part of my problem was having a low tolerance for the flaws of the human man." Heartfelt acknowledgement and recognition here too. May Thee Almighty forgive and strengthen us both.
My future husband just sent this to me and every morning wen we wish each other off he always texts me "Loving Yhu"🥰🥰🥰 as a child eye felt the emotions in their voices but to hear it now those lyrics have a realistic meaning 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽💗💗💗🤧🤧🤧
Every time I listen to 'Lovin' You' by The O'Jays, I feel like you're right here with me again, smiling and swaying to the music. You always knew how to make a Saturday morning feel so special, with the sounds of soul filling the air. Though you're no longer with us, your love for music and the memories we shared live on in every note. I miss you, Grandma. This song will forever remind me of the warmth you brought to my life
This song reminds me of this young woman I use to go with and I was in love with her I hope one that I can find her tell I never stop loving her love always tony❤
PEOPLE !!!LISTEN TO THE WORDS. I STILL LOVE THIS SONG. EVERY NIGHT. LISTEN, ESPECIALLY THE LAST WORDS. JOLDING YOU, LOVING YOU. MAN!!!. I FEEL YOU. LOVE ❤❤❤

My dad and his wife would dance to this song and I would just melt for them both it was real and I was only them when this was on they both have passed but I know this is on repeat for them 😢 ❤
This is real soul music. They just don't make music this sensual and with so much love. No one does it better than the Mighty O'JAYS. Hats off to these gentlemen. 💕💖👍
My parents would play this song all the time when I was young. The O'Jays were one of the first groups whose songs I loved ever since I can remember. This one is one of my all time favorites by them!
You know every song in my arsenal is a testimony of what Id like my love life to be. I don't say that this song is dedicated to a woman. It just lets me know love is out there and I'll find it. Forever Music
Actually they have been around since the 50s. They didnt hit it big until they came to Philadelphia records. Their first album with Philadelphia came out in 1969. Songwriters/ Producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff put them on the map.
I was a young child remembering listening to their songs. Their music brings back childhood memories.. Now that I'm a adult looking at Water Williams oh my !!! that man was gorgeous 😍
A lost art of worshipping, loving, complimenting and appreciating our women!!!! These young men these days are more into impressing other nyghas instead, of impressing women! Our young women don't even know what this right here feels like!!
My absolute favorite love ♥️ song OF ALL TIME past OR present... So sexy, so sensual ... nurturing...#70sbaby. I'm so fortunate to have seen the O'Jays live at Windgate in Brooklyn during the free concert series years back but they never sang this song 😔 but it was still treat just to see them♥️ Long live the O'Jays 🙏🏾
This is dedicated with every breath I take my baby sister pooca pooca pooca pooh and my honey 🍯 dew Mellon and my grandchildren and my oldest grandson he's making my die slowly lord help me Jesus all I can do is cry 😢😢😢😢😢
Philly wdas fam back in the days. Dad and Ma would have the station on and this song was always on (seemed like it at the time.) Great memories. Miss you Dad.
This song is for the man who is intoned to his feelings for his lady ❤

They don't make music like this anymore.
At all...
Truth!
R-Kelly did
So true! 70 ‘s had the best music,!!!
They sure don't 😢
Man, they did their thing on this cut!! Beautiful song!! Love me some O'Jays!!
Grown folk music nothing like it 💯💯💯
Truth speak 🗣️ !!
For real 💯
You already know!
This makes me think how lucky I am to have my wife in my life because loving her is PARADISE
It was this singing that amongst other things convinced us that we are beautiful as black people. That apartheid was deadly wrong. A lie. An evil. That such a singing could only come from a better civilization. This music kept us intact. We never became racist in fighting apartheid. Thanks for this great music

It's take a grown man to sing like this from the heart and not feel diminished as a man #grownmanstatus

And you can forget about that now😥

Congratulations 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ In advanced!!!! I love this song too!!!
Never go wrong with this group
If you were blessed to listen to this kind of music in the 70s listening to some of the music today will take you back to a specific time and place during those years. 😊
If only we could return to blessed music like this...
Yesssss
“Say so!!”🎶💕🎤
I wished
Fa real tho'
Amen!
Walter Williams is a top 5 wildly underrated vocalist OF ALL TIME!
For real! He was not only lead on this song, but also lead on "Darling Darling Baby." (Another of my all time favorites). All the while, he was suffering from multiple sclerosis and, sometimes, barely able to perform dance moves on stage at live performances. Much love to him and the O'Jays!
Agreed
There's many ways to let a woman know she's loved through music and this song has to be in the upper echelon of it all. I love our Black love music
RIP MOMMA AND DADDY THEIR FAVORITE SONG!!!! LOVING YOU EVERYDAY AND FOREVER ❤ HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING PARADISE....LOVE U 🙏🏽.
This one's for my wife Antoinette who lost on December 7th , sleep in peace baby😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry for your loss
Hi Mr TM I hope I can encourage you with the resurrection hope. She may live Again Do you know of this hope?
Sorry for your loss
Hi Tony, keep her spirit, alive - this song is beautiful and that’s what she felt about you.
Everything is alright 🕊🌺
May she RIP🌹
I am at a loss for words after reading you beautiful sentiment. Your wife continues to live in the love in your heart. God bless you, Sir.
Eddie the Goat, black soul down to the bone!
BLACKS, BRING DISCO BACK PUUUUUULEEEEEASE!
THE SONGS WE HEAR ON THE RADIO TODAY SUCKS. WE NEED MUSIC THAT MAKE US BE IN LOVE EVERYDAY.
My mother used to play this record often. Miss her dearly 😢 ❤
Sorry for your loss. Your mom had real good taste!!
@ thank you 🙏🏾
The memories of my wife, Gwendolyn made for me, by God for me, O-jays thank you 😊
The O'Jays have always been one of my favorite old school R&B groups. These men can definitely speak to your soul.🎶🔥
They were BAD ASS ,S
I Oh, So Agree🎶🎵😚
Truth speak 🗣️ !!
They are so underrated. They should be as popular as the Temptations, The Supremes, The Miracles, Earth Wind and Fire and the Isley Brothers.
@@Bluesmoke4200 Exactly, I 1000% agree💯
If I'm ever blessed to get married, this song will be for the first dance.
Come on people let`s not forget this song did for us....... this song will always will be in our lives
The Real Kings of the Love Ballads!! There will never be this Perfection again!

Just sent this to my girl to start her day off right. Nothing like classic soul music to express how much you love someone when words aren’t enough.
Great guy R.G somebody knows how to treat his queen .
Good one Guy, she is lucky. I see the smile on her face everytime she hears this song. I am 72 made ne feel good
Mahlangu Edward: I wish I can wind back the clock,listening to this song made me think that l had everything l wanted in life.
My mother and father loved some OJays; I was a kid in the ‘70s but I still recognize greatness when I heard it! Timeless!
It was from the nineties.
Them hard-hitting Ojays. Cmon Walter
Happy days were then
For my forever love mo'nique thank you for the past 25 years and the 3 beautiful girls we made together you are everything to me baby
Grew up on this. Pops 73, im 43. Luuuuu this shit and thank God my daddy raised me on good mursic 🎶

Butterball #1. Great memories
I heard “I want to scream “. Then here comes Walter screaming! Pure talent with these brothers. In my opinion, the Best singing group ever!
I love this , it reminds me of the love my husband and I shared for years...After 10 years of marriage we still holding hands when we were together.
The end of the great run with the O'Jays and Gamble and Huff. The soundtrack of many lives and God bless you and thank you Gentlemen!
Can't stop listening to this gem it's on repeat jah neh babe since I got you my life is complete every little thing is alright...Twetwezzzz
I first heard this song in Savannah, GA in the 80’s. I’m still in love with the song. Nothing like the good old oldies. ❤
