This one of the best message songs ever recorded by The O'Jays Give The People What They Want in 1975 I love the Philadelphia sound like Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Billy Paul, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, The Stylistics, Blue Magic, The Delfonics, The Three Degrees, Patti La Belle, The Jacksons, Archie Bell & The Drells, Lou Rawls, and lots more too great songs doesn't get any better than this instead of today's music!!! I love the Philadelphia sound!!!! God bless you Gamble & Huff!!! Keep the music going!!!!
Liam Gallagher ends his gigs with this. Has for years. Its a great tune and perfectly matches was he is sending. I Heard it in Dublin Aug Def May stunning gig. I saw him in 96. Cork. that audacity. this had strength.
I was watching Tubi and heard this jingle behind a commercial and said to myself "that sounds like the O'jays". Great song, love the bass line and horns
THIS SONG should be played in regular rotation on radio stations all over the world RIGHT NOW! It should serve as an inspiration and a motivation for the people to stand up and fight back against corrupt governments wherever they may exist on the planet. PEOPLE RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOURS!
Aj you are so rite......i been telling people this for a long time now. But my people are so lost and stubborn they they continue to fall for anything the devils tell them.....i surly hope we come out of this trans and wake up real soon.
I say work for it. Fighting prematurely grinds you, and generally gets you nowhere. Work and think about what has to be really has to be done. Remain on the progress mode. Wake up and stay woke!

Definitely one of my favorites. However, at the 3:04 mark, they start with too many cymbal crashes. Would have been better without so many for the rest of the song.
Bass line is killing it...dead on in that groove. I swear some of the people who designed (or created) some of the synth Bass tones were trying for this sound. Excellent production too.
Just saw the O’Jays on Jalen and Jacoby. Brought back a lot of memories of the 60s and 70s music. They were fantastic! Made me go and listen to some of their new stuff and they are just as good. The message is still powerful and their voices are strong.
Baaaaaadassssssss song on the planet. The O'jays are solid gold and are still performing today (liquid gold). Love these guys. I once saw them in Philadelphia and in Charleston, SC.
You got to give the people, now Give the people what they want Well, well, well, well No, don't know you You got to give the people Give the people what they want?

That's got to be the magnificent group " M.F.S.B." playing on this track that flawless rythum,the forward moving infectious groove,snappy horns,can anyone find the sheet music for this classic? Would love to find it , have had no luck so far
I remember watching Jalen and Jacoby with my Dad when I was like 8-9 during the pandemic and I loved this song. I looked up “Jalen and Jacoby give the people what they want” 💀💀
A good friend reminded me about this song, which I'd forgotten. It is SO APROPO at this time of America's Reset. #BlackPower! #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

🎉 The harmony and resonance of your words....yes Yes YES!!!
BOOM 😂you took the words right out of my mouth. Do you remember MFSB, which was also part of that Philadelphia sound 👍

"Give the people what they want" The truth and no lies!
yes just tell the truth....7/6/21
Word ☝🏻
They don’t do that anymore in the music industry
48 years later and this still sounds just as it good as it did around this time back in 1975.
True that! And amen!!
DAMN STRAIGHT
@@hateisbadCan't use...what you don't have!
Back in the day JAM lol. Riddle me this. Someone mentioned the Philadelphia sound, does anyone out there remember MFSB?
First time I heard this gem. Was on GTA IV - Radio Station: International Funk classics from West Africa, The U.S and everywhere else ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
I was watching Tubi and heard this jingle behind a commercial and said to myself "that sounds like the O'jays". Great song, love the bass line and horns
That's literally why I'm here too!!! I love the Ojays, didn't know they made this song though😮 it was a pleasant surprise
@@veronicajata3121someone used to use this as like an intro to their channel or something
Happy Birthday to Eddie LeVert of the O'Jays Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 💕

I agree wholeheartedly. It's very uplifting and fun to dance to also. It was so sad that Eddie lost his two sons. They were so talented.
Aj you are so rite......i been telling people this for a long time now. But my people are so lost and stubborn they they continue to fall for anything the devils tell them.....i surly hope we come out of this trans and wake up real soon.
2020! 🇺🇸
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I say work for it.
Fighting prematurely grinds you, and generally gets you nowhere.
Work and think about what has to be really has to be done.
Remain on the progress mode.
Wake up and stay woke!
I love this song! Not only is it happy and upbeat, but it's also inspirational.
PLUTO TV. Commercial in 2024 brought me to this 70s Classic 🎸 JAM 🎺🎺🎺 the Bass is so COOL
Me too, think it's on an Amazon ad. Yup that phased bass was a popular sound technique in the 70s, Pink Floyd used it a lot

The drum intro is so good.
Definitely one of my favorites. However, at the 3:04 mark, they start with too many cymbal crashes. Would have been better without so many for the rest of the song.
Freedom, justice and equality to my sisters in Afghanistan.
Keeping you in my prayers
That ain't gonna happen.
That Bass line is fire.This music is simply RAW. For now in 2020.
Don't sleep on them horns either!
Horns ARE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WORD! The horns are lit 🔥 🔥🔥!
That song always gave me chills.
peace songs
No one can ad lib like the O'Jays.
Earth Wind and Fire did it better.
One of the 🔥est albums ever! O’Jays~Survival! Of course, this song is legendary & always relevant. 💜✌🏾
this song went to #1 on the R&B charts in 1975!!!
Deservedly so. Man, '75 was a magical year for R&B looking back...
Yeah and on the billboard hot 100...I think
The first time i fell in love with this song it was being performed by Grambling State University's marching band. Great memories.
Bass line is killing it...dead on in that groove. I swear some of the people who designed (or created) some of the synth Bass tones were trying for this sound. Excellent production too.
All underscored by the drums. Awesome rhythym section....
