Happy Birthday to Eddie Levert, longtime member and co-lead singer of the legendary O'Jays, born June 16th, 1942. On June 16, 2024 he celebrated his 82nd birthday. By any measure, the O'Jays are one of the most important Soul Music groups of all-time. Whether delivering funky dance music, romantic ballads, or thoughtful social commentary in song
The man that actually sings, the high notes is actually also singing the baritone notes on the actual recording. Simply brilliant and immensely talented.
I agree with you on this they was a great group one of the best of my times Eddie had a Special Voice and Walter Williams and Sammy dancing one of the best RIP
It’s amazing that right at 3:07 the spirits take Levert over and this becomes one of the single greatest performances ever. Stop asking if we’re still listening, we never left ✊
I can't watch this without crying. It's perfection. The song. The steps are INCREDIBLE. The delivery. It's definitely a live performance for it to be Soul Train. They had the audience's attention completely. No one is doing this anymore at all. 2022 and there's no competition to this performance
Black African American excellence is under appreciated that's what's always has been wrong with planet earth. Jealousy of black people killed our world period point blank....
These Legendary brothers are and always will be the bearers of high standard in the music world. They have set the bar at a very high level for others to follow. O'jays for life.
Agree 💯, but why until 2005 for them to be accepted into the music hall of fame 🤔. Must have been to much positive messages in their music 🎶. Or was it something personal. Help me out here
It is my belief that their music did not get the play time on the radio's that they should have gotten,and that's why it took the Rock and roll hall of fame so long to recognize their timeless music. I'm happy to see these legendary brothers get their flowers while they are alive👍🙏 O'jays for life.
@@kennykinard3691 I feel you sir, but over fifty years, where some artists got in so early and didn't have half the hits the mighty ojays had. But they have stood the test of time. 💯
My brother I feel the same way that you feel about the length of time it took for the music world to recognize such awesome music . I might be wrong it is my humble opinion that just maybe the message in these legendary brothers music was too rich and real for the hall of fame to accept & understand.
And always a message in there music to live by. Is that the reason it took the ojays not until 2005 to be added to the hall of fame 🤔 positive music to grow from. Especially young people.
I'm 54 now I can sing every song from the ojays I was only 5 when Friday hit my mom would come home,pour her a glass of beer ,put that album on and steadily be cleaning and crying .te best music ever .I didn't understand the words but today I understand it all
I just released balloons for my Aunt Rosa Lee's birthday. She would have been 65 today. We lost her July 11, 2021 to Covid- 19. I love and miss you so much Rest In Heaven Auntie Happy Birthday 😍😍
I lost my last uncle today my father brother and my aunt pass 5 months ago she was my dad sister listening to this song I know he is resting with the Lord 😢 💔 rest easy uncle Sam
This was such an awesome song, brings tears to my eyes. My mom passed 11/1/21 and this brings so much joy to me because I know she climbed those steps. Will always love the Ojays🥰😍
Ain't nobody fucking with the O'Jays!. The Whispers come in second... but for ALL TIME R&B groups the O'Jays are just incredible and their discography speaks for itself. Jackson's, Spinners, Whisper, and any I'm forgetting, all great groups, but the O'Jays always killed it with that dynamic duo. I always give props to the producers... Gamble and Huff, Thom Bell, and Linda Creed created an entire GENERATION of top hits.
Yes ma'am I'm still here in 2024 listening and thanking God like so many others. Thank him I am here and still can listen and reminiscing about the way it was and thanking God for my right now!🙌🏽🙏🏽
Still listening in 2022. Can't stop. This is the best music by the one of the greatest groups of their time. They never made bad song. There is NO music like this anymore.💖💖
Also listening to the O'Jays today 3-05-22. My absolute favorite group. So many memories, will definitely miss them not performing, but will always have their music. GOD bless 🙏 you Eddie, Walter, and Eric.
I was born in 1969, but I love this music. When I.m going through rough times in my life, I put on some old school, cry, and get on with life. Thank God for groups like the O'Jays.
@Mary Johnson ~ you are not alone! This was my era and we did what you did. My kids were born in the ’70s and they did what me and you did. Their children were born in the 90’s and still HALF of them can relate and love my era music. It was and Is REAL DEAL ✊🏾
My Lord, the way uncle Walter smoothed out the song. Uncle Eddie took us to the stairway to church! You can’t tell me they were not raised in church and gospel. It’s beyond showmanship. You can tell they were influenced by gospel music early on in their lives. OMG! It’s all in them!(in my grandmother’s voice). Great day in the morning! Yessir!
Notice how they always insisted on performing live when they appeared on Soul Train........not every group can pull that off......talented beyond measure!!!!!
Everybody from that era came from the Chittlin circuit and played cabaret venues, nightclubs and theaters 100% live and kicking! Don Cornelius chose who he thought deserved to perform live because it was extremely expensive to produce back then! All acts on Soul Train could perform live because that's how they made their living! Stop the disinformation of the culture!🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
@@vincentstrain2042 Mr. Strain you got it 1,000% and the Ojays were really working it. They are one of my all-time favorite groups. I've seen them perform a number of times. I would sit in my seat and stare at Eddie the whole time. I was totally mesmerized. LOL Blessings
Righttt cause I thought all of them were forced to lip sync on Soul Train so I could see how they insisted cause it definitely hits different or atleast supposed to when Live 🗣💯🐐👑💐
222 ❤ I’m 25 and I have such an old soul I’m so thankful for my baby boomer parents , they showed me the value of life and how to stay humble and the beauty of oldies rip to my father I fell like he sending me a message through this song I had a dream about him a while back he was waiting on bench for me and walked to him and I was able to lay my head on his shoulder one last time ❤ so much power and love in this song beautiful melody to the ear 🙏✨
Our black men have good moves, good voices. They wrote some beautiful sons. All the dads out there teach your sons to keep their culture, they can do wonders, please men be close to your sons, to keep your name and the black DNA. Lots of love, I love these young men, they let us reflect, these songs young people have so much unpleasant words.
Your post is so spot on. The other day, I was reading a comment by a young man who had loaded a reaction video and he said he had never heard of the Ohio Players. Another couple didn't know at least 99% of the artists in the We Are the World video. I nearly choked when one of them looked at Diana Ross and asked "who is that?" Unfortunately, the legends are being lost to a lot of the younger generation.
Good advise to not just black young men, but all. It seems dads nowadays are not instilling the basic tenets to future generations. But your sound and excellent words mean so much to "ALL"
This song is timeless!!! O' Jay's were one of the greatest R&B groups. I've been listening to Soul Trains videos. Bringing back a lot greatest memories. ❤
@@patrickbrown232 dayuuuuuum I definitely didn't know that but Eminem is gonna be inducted into the RRHOF & Luther Vandross isn't even in there yet😣literally hate the special treatment for some tho!!!
"Walk with me cause the door is open"...just dayum! The concerts back in the day were the s**t! How much I love them? Went to one of their concerts with jaw swollen from an abcessed tooth...Even though I had been there for the show the night before and having seen them at least 8 times at that point! No one but the Ojays could make me get out in that condition! I was not disappointed!
What a performance. When the MIGHTY O'JAYS WERE IN THEIR PRIME. And they were absolutely great in concert. These brothers put on a fantastic live show. Real talent real singing!

Mr LeVert I wish you long life and good health just thinking about about good music you have serve us with,I think God is smiling in heaven 🙏 for his faithful servant
Don’t nobody sleep on Walter Williams. His voice is just as beautiful but with a smooth kinda tone that just feels right somehow. His vocals are just the perfect contrast to Eddie’s strong, masculine delivery. I still love my O Jay’s . ❤ You can have these new singers. Most of them can’t really sing.
I proclaim to be a connoisseur of music! With utmost certainty, Eddie LeVert is the "definition of pure masterful black r and b soul musicianship. Pure definition!!!
Greatness at its finest The Mighty Mighty O'Jays still listening to the best R&B EVER IN 2022 AND BEYOND!! They desired more awards than they have received! ❤❤❤❤
" Stairway to Heaven " is just a beautiful song... All I can say, " With the weight of the world on my shoulder, I am still walking the roads of today and tomorrow. But I will stop sometimes... to still a moment of pleasure from my past. Yes, she's my corner of the world just like heaven... sweet heaven... heaven...
Music like this is filled with so much passion and emotion you can actually feel it. Wherever you are. It's truly timeless art that will live on forever.
Greatness!! Good thing we have You Tube because we'll probably never see or hear artist like this ever again. It's awesome being able to go back and see these artist performing, live at that.💯
OMG!! We had SO MANY awesome groups back in the day!! They always sung and performed with such excellence. I’m glad to have been a part of that era of music. ❤❤❤
Can’t seem to get enough of steirway to heaven every time I listen and dance to it I always think how nice and lovery it wood be if my husband was still here with me cost then we could listen and dance together to this lovery and succulent and breath taking song💒🧡❤️🩷💛💚🩵🖤💜💙🩶🤎💕💞🙏🏿👣🤜🏿👍🏿👏🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿👻👻👻👻

Sounds like a complete choir, and it's just 3 of them. Beautiful!!!
Backing track.
The man that actually sings, the high notes is actually also singing the baritone notes on the actual recording. Simply brilliant and immensely talented.
This is what you call giving the people what they want. Performance at it's highest level and perfection. O'jays for life.
And then better or worse huh
They always were excellent performers
FACTS!!
YES! MY GOODNESS YESS!🎤🎤🎤
If I was a teen in LA at the Soul Train studio during this performance, I couldn't even dance anymore. I'd be too enamored with the performance.
Walter and Eddie voices mesh so well together.Epic Performance 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW 🥺 Wow WOW!!!
And the third guy.. his silence meshes well too 😂
EPIC ✊🏾
Don't stop can't stop won't stop grown folks stuff
Silk and Sandpaper.....My favorite group of all time!!!!

The great Eddie Levert, turned 80 recently. My favourite group since I first heard them in 1978. Thank God for Gamble & Huff.
I was born in 79 so this is my music era for sure❤❤❤❤
I swear, that man’s performance was so powerful he brings you to tears!❤

That raw talent right there! That’s one of the few times you saw the dancers just standing there in awwwww
Absolutely! The most amazing voices are no longer in the Majority… The agenda to kill soul music is real….✌🏾
Right. The performance is so powerful the dancers can't DANCE!!
On this song the O ' Jay's took us to church "Let the church say amen."
Same here. My mother’s favorite song and I love her so much.
Dam what has happened to our world??? Why can’t we go back to these days ??? No fake nothing all love by everyone.
The music definitely was about love society has slowly gone down since
Black African American excellence is under appreciated that's what's always has been wrong with planet earth. Jealousy of black people killed our world period point blank....
I know, huh? Things have taken a drastic change. I miss the good days.
I agree why can't we go back???
To many Donald Trump's in this world today.
Straight to the Hall of Fame!!!
Eddie was a show stopper out the gate. Not taking anything from the O'Jays, beautiful music. My era, still listening 🎧
One of the greatest trio's of the 20th century. What a chemistry they had.

May God Bless you and your family 🙏🏾❤
Very sorry for your loss. I know the feeling. THE MOST HIGH will get you through this.
My condolences to you....
May God be with you and your family
This was live too. Normally, you would get the lip sync performance. The MIGHTY, MIGHTY O'Jays! Classic!
Back in those days they rarely lip synced. That started in the late 1980's sadly
And all the R& B groups had the best suits🤗
And moves were in sync just like their harmony
I miss the songs that spoke about love between men and women instead of disrespecting one another.
That's what's wrong with the world today know Love .

That performance reminded me of how fit they were and the the can't be touched voices of Eddie and Walt and Eddie's showmanship.
Did anybody do it better than then these gentlemen. After all these years it still causes your eyes to sweat. Outstanding job here.
I proclaim to be a connoisseur of music! With utmost certainty, Eddie LeVert is the "definition of pure masterful black r and b soul musicianship. Pure definition!!!
Real music is timeless
Greatness at its finest The Mighty Mighty O'Jays still listening to the best R&B EVER IN 2022 AND BEYOND!! They desired more awards than they have received! ❤❤❤❤
The Mighty O'Jays...when it came to live performance they were always excellent.
Agree. Always great music, but live...they were on a whole other level. Fan freaking tastic!
" Stairway to Heaven " is just a beautiful song... All I can say, " With the weight of the world on my shoulder, I am still walking the roads of today and tomorrow. But I will stop sometimes... to still a moment of pleasure from my past. Yes, she's my corner of the world just like heaven... sweet heaven... heaven...
O'Jays are forever.
Yesss, O'Jays, Hands Down. ForReal 🎼
Music like this is filled with so much passion and emotion you can actually feel it. Wherever you are. It's truly timeless art that will live on forever.
This was an excellent performance, Levert sing with so much soul. These were the days of the true performers.
'Hang on...I am confused, there is no lip sync!' 🤣🤣💞 Just as it should be...classic, soulful and timeless.
Greatness!! Good thing we have You Tube because we'll probably never see or hear artist like this ever again. It's awesome being able to go back and see these artist performing, live at that.💯
OMG!! We had SO MANY awesome groups back in the day!! They always sung and performed with such excellence. I’m glad to have been a part of that era of music. ❤❤❤
Hands Down! The Philly Sound Ruled the 1970's! All the groups and the music producers had it poppin in the 70s.
The best live performance in the history of television
What can I say. These kind of songs brings you back to the good old days.
