    Lyrics:
    Ah, ah, ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    Ohhh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh
    Get it on, get it on
    Get it on, get it on, get it on
    Get it on, yeah
    Ohhh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh
    I love music
    Any kind of music
    I love music
    Just as long as it's grooving
    Makes me laugh, makes me smile all the while
    Whenever I'm with you, girl
    While we dance, make romance
    I'm enchanted by the things that you do
    Oooh, oooh, oooh. Aw, aw, aw, aw, aw
    Ohhh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh

    A very rare live vocal on Soul Train singing over a backing track and prerecorded backing vocals. The O'Jays at their peak. For me this is one of the greatest dance records of the 70s- it was No1 on the Billboard Disco Chart longer than any other record in the history of the chart. ICONIC!

We all got along better as nation back then. the music I believe was a large part of that.

    The Mighty Mighty O'Jays, singing live! I had to stop and restart this one. Turned the bass up and made it full screen. From the opening bongo drum, this song was top ten in my life. O'Jays are top three. I remember the first 45 I purchased was "Back Stabbers." Those voices, the musicians and the musical arrangement, too much. With "I Love Music" the O'Jays gave us a whole lot of R&B Soul to go with our disco, and MFSB was kicking it like love is the message or something. I could never sit down on this one. "I Love Music" always made me dance in happiness, so give me a little room on the floor. Such a clean and uplifting song to everyone. ♫♪ "Music is the healing force of the world. It's understood by every man, woman, boy and girl." ♪♫ And especially to my wife ♫♪ "Nothing can be better than a sweet love song. So sweet, so sweet, so mellow, mellow. When you got the girl that you love in your arms." ♪♫ PIR, always touching my life, much gratitude.

    William Powell had already left the group due to illness. He would pass away the following year. He probably did sing on the background vocal tracks that are heard on the playback.

      Yes sir.
      William did sing background on this,
      and he was on the follow-up album
      “Message In Our Music”.
      Sammy just toured in his place.
      After William’s death in 1977,
      Sammy fully replaced him,and
      debuted on the album
      “Traveling At The Speed Of Thought”
      released that same year.

    I've always loved the sounds and moves of the Mighty, Mighty O'Jays. Despite only three, they sound so rich, as if there were more voices. Their line-up, though, fascinates me for some reason in that Eddie LeVert and Walter Williams always alternate singing in a song (which works beautifully), while flanking the middle fellow who is never heard solo 🤔
