ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The O'Jays

The O'Jays became closely associated with the Sound of Philadelphia through their work with songwriter-producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their catalog at Philadelphia International included Back Stabbers, Love Train and For the Love of Money, followed by records such as I Love Music and Use Ta Be My Girl. Eddie Levert and Walter Williams supplied a long-running vocal partnership. The group's blend of soul singing and carefully arranged pop records carried its music across generations of listeners.
