Man!! This song makes me smile!! Taking me back to my den seeing my mom and my step-in dad getting down dancing!!! We got the card table out...record player playing...my Uncle Franklin and Aunt Linda and my cousins coming over!!! Its gonna be a good evening!!!
Sweet memory. Thanks for sharing. Reading your comment brought me back to a better time in many ways even though then had its relative challenges. I'd gladly go back to then.
I HEARD THE O'JAYS PERFORMED THIS PAST THURSDAY NIGHT 🌉 @ THE DELL MUSIC 🎵🎶 CENTER FOR THE FINAL TIME BEFORE RETIRING & THEIR STILL ALIVE & KICKING & SOUNDING GOOD EVERY TIME, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!! 😢😊!! TSOP FOREVER!! 😊.
I saw them in 2019 in New Orleans at one of the Bayou Classic galas. EVERYONE in that room took off their shoes and hit the dance floor, but none of us could keep up with these guys! They put on a helluva show and I'll be an O'Jays fan FOREVER!
My mommy played The Ojays music when I was a baby.I miss her so much every time .I hear there music makes me happy and sad .Because she gone .Love u for life Barbara Jacquline Wimore.
Ah that Philly sound, when this song was out I was a young man stationed in West Germany actually living this song. I Love my O'Jays is still puts a smile on my face.
When this song came out I graduated high school in Philly 1976. We just took it for granted the great music being produced by Gamble and Huff aka the Philly Sound.
@@kelvinbarber1765 MFSB laid down thousands of tracks for dozens of performers, Including acts that had nothing to do with Philly International. Then they morphed into the core of the Salsoul Orchestra and kept right on playing.
Before I became a mother I was just Grateful for just life now I’m a mother of 3 lovely sons I’m grateful for everything I went through now I really understand that word Gratefulness every day me and my sons wake up and we are able to do what we want and we know it’s nobody but God making a way for us!
I certainly remember when this was first released. This very popular song received extensive play in the Chicago radio markets on the (old) AM/FM bands. A vibrant time when pure "GOD" given talent flourished, abundantly, from the heart and soul. A era when music brought joy and fun to all. For many of my generation, this song is permanently embedded in our memories.
Not only did I play this song til I wore the grooves out of it. I lived that joyous life style, every weekend I would put on my dancing shoes and best attire to go out and live those weekends. Sing it for me Eddie!
Take it for what it's worth the music industry was out to stop our groove they destroyed rhythm and blues u know soul music because we were displaying our groove of real love and respect for our girl friends yes baby I still love you like I did before so we met at the dance and got back together u know what I'm saying the relationship was really more good for us than bad so we would get back together right and it was in the music and that was our connection but it was destroyed by this gangster rap the ego tripping character of showing off ego tripping chasing jewelry thinking that ur bigger than the next man like that makes u a better man but it just destroyed us and now it's a lost generation

When I was in my late teens and early 20's we started our partying on Thursday night, we roll into work Friday TIRED!!! Then we did it all again Friday night. Those were some of the best times!!!
Oh my what great memories of the fun times I experienced on the weekend. This jam was da bomb. Those horns and drums are "Kicking". Dance floor would be packed everybody throwing down. That Philadelphia sound was awesome. Huff and Gamble were awesome team.
@@maggynewtown3500 Gamble and Huff wrote and produced many hit songs, and MFSB provided the music. Long live THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA and everyone who made it all possible.
The MIGHTY O'JAY'S really ROCKED this SONG to Death😊🎉 Eddie, Walter and the Late William Powell, Philly International Records under the pure Perfection of Producers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, this label had some of the most Powerful 💯💥💥 Session Orchestral MUSICIANS I had ever heard with Bass, Lead Guitarists, Drummers, Keyboardists, Etc., OMG, PURE PERFECTION!!
Yep. I read where that it’s thought that a Philly International record is played on a radio station somewhere in the world every 3 minutes. Gamble and Huff rock!!!
This was the days, when that bell rung on Friday at 3:10pm. The stage was set and the weekend of partying begun. Now we just have our memories of the good old days. Glad rags for Friday & Saturday. And Sunday Church clothes. LoL if you remember the good old days.
Girlfriend we were ready and the men had better knew better to come get us and they had better been cleaned up and be ready to take us out. Thank you fellas!
The horns are mine. They rock!!! Party down, I done took alllll I can stand!!!Used to work nights at electronics company this brought joy just to hear it. Miss family and friends and hearing this played.
This is one of my favorites songs in history I was 2 years old when I was a child in the year 1975 Damn I missed those good old 1970s memories they don't make music like this anymore Thanks for the good old memories The OJays
No, NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! You gotta work that 5 and 40 first before this song kicks in. When you're done, you clock out, run to the car, hop in crank it then crank it up! Trust me, you'll grow to appreciate it that much more.
You'll get that "IT HAS BEGUN!" feeling about yourself. Just think back to when you were a kid in public school. Last class, 5 mins to go on a Friday. Then ding ling ding ling! THE WEEKEND IS HERE! And if she decides to spring a weekend assignment on you, do it on the bus ride home. Why? Because after 5 days of dealing with them, THE WEEKEND IS YOURS TO ENJOY...NOW AND FOREVER!
, I remember dancing in the isles at concert til blisters was on my fingertips. Thinking about the show in March ,Fayetteville, NC final salute to many fans.❤❤
This one definitely masks you look at your dancing shoes and your shoes make you get out and hit the dancing floor. This song is embedded to the people who knows song old music BEING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC. 70' WAS THE SHIDDDDDDD !!!!!!!! HANDS DOWN 💥 💥 💥
If u can understand the struggle of black folks in America then you are blessed and music was the better ways we had to express ourselves motown and Philly international touching the hearts of blacks all over the world lots of us we're saved by this inspirational music but with this new faze of music we're taking each other fown
Went to see the O’Jays in September 2019 at a casino here in Seattle. BEST CONCERT I’VE EVER ATTENDED, and I’ve been to many. They still got it - in their 70s.
"Right now I'm er ah..." This was the particular way Eddie and Walt used to speak back in those days. A truly unique career and a special talent. The O'Jay's, Cleveland's own.
Well well well Celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ or the God that you serve... Keep God first so that you will be saved brothers and sisters God bless 🇺🇸 Thank you for this one O'jays God bless you and yours daily 🦶🏾🦶🏿🦶🏽🦶🦶🏻
TGIF,going across town. Gonna end up across the Bridge, cuz I heard they get down Over There. Real Real Good Time..Shaking something Loose this Morning. Bumping to this Classic

The O'Jays ...one of the baddest to ever do it...and Philly International Records..Awesome!
One of the greatest bands ever! No discussions! No negotiations!
You're right. MFSB. The best.
They are 2nd to the funk Brothers motown!!!! U better know it!!!

What about "Love Train"? LOL. We need more of that in the world!
Love me some O'JAYS love me some Eddie with that strong powerful voice
It's nothing like old school music. This song helps out a lot when you're working through week and off on the weekends

Hard to find that club with good happy spirits anymore that just wants to have a good time to good music
That's just as true then as it is today for sure
I think my dad had this song playing every weekend when I was younger . He was living for the weekend! Lol!
Wasn't a lot of us in that era, yess,yessss.
THIS IS CLASSIC AND ONE OF THE BEST, REMIND ME WATCHING GRANDMA DANCING AND UNLCE DANCING LIKE GEORGE FROM THE JEFFERSON SHOW, LOVE IT GOOD MEMORIES
O'Jays blew it up with this! And it don't have to be the weekend!
We still live for the weekend in 2019. We just don't have nobody singing it to us anymore like the O JAY'S.
That's right!!
True but that's why old school promoters like me throw these shows to keep this music alive
Yes
2022 still my JAM!!! YESSS 💃 💃 💃
That goes for 2022 and on and on.
When I was in my late teens and early 20's we started our partying on Thursday night, we roll into work Friday TIRED!!! Then we did it all again Friday night. Those were some of the best times!!!

. Why you say color anyway. Not unless you have a problem with it.
