The O'Jays - Above The Law (Official Lyric Video)

[@SkammLykelee]

This is like a modern day sequel to "For the Love of Money". Glad they posted the lyrics to leave no doubt of the message.

[@rosssingletary1309]

The O'Jays have hit the pulse of our nation with this track; just like they did back in the day when they sang "For The Love Of Money".

[@Ekkie101]

Great to hear a new track from one of the most soulful and funkiest groups of all time. The O'Jays. And a track that is relevant and meaningful to our times. Thank you, O'Jays.

[@worldpeace8000]

Yes, this song right here needs to be on the radio station. Hot 97, WBLS Kiss FM, even on MTV and B.E.T. black awareness, and also world awareness.

This is the pulse of the state of this country as well as the world. I Love this track. It reminds me of your past messages. Great Job, guys.

Haha, ya. That's why he'll win again. Because regular people, aka the voters, hate him.

Way to go Ojays. Keep it coming man. We need this country to be good again.

[@Ranawa1]

Great song. The O'jays of yesterday. Reminds me of Rich Get Richer. Played it over and over and still playing and shared it on my Facebook.

[@knightd12]

Thank you Mighty O`Jays, America sure needed a song like this at a time like this.

[@eb4256]

Thank you, O’Jays for using your gift to shed light on systemic injustice. Sharp lyrics and killer hook- “Above the law....”. Please keep writing more of these social-conscience songs.

[@LaurenSteiner]

Great video guys. So many musical artists these days are about commerce and not art much less about politics. Much respect.

[@4everPS]

Awesome, the O'jays got back to socially conscious music. Which was their vibe while at Philadelphia International Records (PiR). Great song and Great message, keep bringing the music!

[@altontyre]

A great track from one of the greatest groups of all time. Eddie, Walter, and Eric are singing truth to power. I became a lifelong O'Jays fan in the 1970s, in part, because of the socially conscious music they recorded and performed. If the forthcoming album/CD is their last, they will leave their fans satisfied that they went out saying something of substance with their music. As I have stated in other posts, a song like this will probably not get the airplay it deserves because of the nature of radio today. The video is a great complement to the song. As a recently retired teacher of African American History, I used music frequently to teach history and to expose students to pertinent issues. Songs like this can tell a story more effectively in a few minutes than hours of news reports can.

[@ShawnWilliams1987]

#AboveTheLaw is powerful! Thanks O'Jays for your neverending journey before the final album drops!

[@mr.gogetter1828]

This song gives out a very important social message. I'm puzzled that it doesn't receive that much radio airplay like it should. I forgot that most radio stations are corporate-owned, nowadays, and this song would offend corporate America.

To have grown up pretty much listening to the Ojays since their single working on your case, and my favorite, Christmas just ain't Christmas, this work here is legendary in itself. Great job Big Eddie, Big Walt, and my man Eric "Bink" Nolan. The legacy continues to entertain us all, always! 💯👑👑👑🙏🏼✝️🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤🔥🌎

CONTINUING ON WITH MY INSTANT LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE FORTHCOMING O'JAYS ALBUM ... In response to a number of people getting in touch wanting to know more, here’s the Hill rundown of what you can expect from Messrs Eddie Levert Sr, Walter Williams Sr. and Eric Nolan Grant on their forthcoming “Last Word” album. With more than a little poignancy in, not only the album title but the varying feel of all the tracks, kinda like a representation of all the musical personas the group presented over the years. Lyrically the songs deliver too. Yeah, of course, there’s the expected luvd-up urgings but there’s also some biting social comment in equal measure. Anyway, I love this set, so here’s my rundown for what it’s worth. “Do You Really” - my personal fave - kicks off as a mid-tempo slinky affair, unfurling slowly with heavy-hitting lyrics ‘bout changing times (good and bad) and, musically, not unlike the verses to The Temps “Just My Imagination” at faster tempo! Each of the guys gets their turn to deliver a verse and its magic! Yet mo is to come; the groove hits at about four minutes in, hollering out the title hook whilst the men let rip with soul-drenched exhortations, wailing and utter grooviness. Fuck I love this! “Start Stoppin’” - totally infections modern Soul stomper, complete with a hypnotic singalong chorus that’s gonna go on to become an end-of-night anthem - and someone knows that, dropping things down to just a drum beat (cue mass hand-clapping) as the inherent emotion lifts your Soul. “Pressure” comes across as offering a nod to maybe Latimore and Southern Soul in general; blues-picked guitar and Hammond vying with the braying brass for attention as underscores to the vox and watch out for the, all too brief, b-line fade-out groove. “Above The Law” - were it not for the trio’s unique vocals, this could be classic Whitfield-produced early 70s Temps! Deep and heavy politicafunk, with sinister strings see-sawing and jittering throughout underscored by slabbed-out b-line. Serious funk gear. “’68 Summer Nights” finds the guys in “Use Ta Be My Girl” territory, exquisite harmonies carrying a singalong, happy, summery groove. “Sweeter” revisits their ’67 Bell hit “I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)” with more than a little Doo Wop feel and highlighting those majestic harmonies above an acoustic keyboard. “I Got You”, the opener, drops as a light and airy sweet soul exercise in happiness and joy. You can just hear it segueing into “Love Train”! “Stand” is the single solitary track where, if you listen a little more carefully, you can detect just a little of the strain five decades have put on THAT voice, but the overall groove does just that. Deepness with Philly meeting the South at times. “Enjoy Yourself” reminds me a little of the Delfonics at the outset before settling down to being a classic up-tempo sweet soul workout, with yet another instantly hooky chorus harking back to the halcyon days of the early 70s complete with beautiful cooing. Ends too soon and needs a longer mix. If this really is the final album then it’s done them proud - BANG ON THE BUTTON! The O’Jays - wow! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGq4ioqmgqyYidE kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHm2fGpnoZyfmM0
