[@MrLeoDad]

Money has not ever changed the Ojays I personally met them with my mother & family at Harrahs in San Diego when they came to do a concert and as they entered the lobby I walked over to Eddie and I said are you Eddie Levert and he said yes I am my mother was in a wheel chair and he walked over to her and hugged her and we took a picture then Walter did the same. They were just down to earth and Walter is just miraculous and he knows it. I have MS and Walter and I talked about that one day thru my cousin Duck from Oakland California. Thank God for wonderful people like these guys. Ms Tate

[@cindyboren5641]

I am 68, and I love the O'Jays. They have given so much to music and social change to support black people. Their music had a message of love and changed the world. THANK YOU, and God bless you.

The world stopped spinning when Kelly began to sing. Now that's how you stand out when everyone on stage is super talented. ❤️🇦🇺

[@wpcotton]

Kandi was in my first class of US History at Tri-Cities HS in 1993. She earned an 87 while being on tour and completing all her assignments through correspondence. Outstanding student, talent and person. She also was indirectly responsible for me meeting my wife of 25 years. God bless her. I’ll

I want to recognize Walter Williams as the True Voice of the OJAY'S Eddie Levert always acts like he did all the Singing but if you ever Listen to the OJAY'S You will hear Walter Kill the Song and Bring it up To making it a HIT The Sisters Tribute to The O'Jays they did not stay on Melody of the song they made the song Sound trashey Silk on the other hand killed it Eddie Levert should acknowled Walter Williams As The True lead vocalist of The O'Jays cause Walter Williams always Sing what Eddie could not Walter Williams I Love Your voice
