The O'Jays - Forever Mine (Official Video) REACTION

[@chancebrown106]

The O’Jays were among the last few concerts I saw before Covid. It was my second time seeing them with my father who is now 74 and this was his first ever concert. Among my favorite still touring old school R&B bands. Eddie Levert and Walter Williams are LEGENDS that have stood for 60 years through multiple sclerosis, deaths of sons, deaths of their third members. Shoutout to Eric Nolan Grant. My personal favorite: Darlin Darlin Baby!

[@ray-xr9ro]

One of the greatest soul groups of all time so many good songs "Love Train", "For the love of money", "Living for the weekend", "Brandy", etc.!👍

[@musicsansnotes]

💓💓💓 Yes. I am so lucky to have seen them a couple of years ago. I took a picture with them as I sobbed.

[@pthesmith]

"Ship Ahoy" is *AMAZING* One of my all time favorite O'Jays songs.

[@mariemariexyz1170]

Don't forget.. Stairway To Heaven.

"Ship Ahoy"

[@wakeupfeelinggreateveryday1723]

Can you imagine slow dancing to this song..

[@alldaymusiclover107]

When I read "pack your bags for this trip", I thought you were going to mention a different O'Jays song - "Love Train". They made so many great and memorable hits it's hard to recall them all but once I read another title I immediately start singing.

[@kelligutierrez7022]

Soon as i seen this i clicked so fast!! Reminds me of my dad. I was raised with the ojays..the whispers.. The temptations.. Tavares.. The spinners.. Miss you dad.

If your auntie played this, she was playing quality music. Music doesn't get any better than this. Pure soul music at it's best.

[@alldaymusiclover107]

Hey Twins, if you liked "Forever Mine" you should listen to "Backstabbers". It was the first song I heard by The O'Jays. Loved it then and still do.

The O'Jays deserve lots of respect. They are beyond talented and have left millions of memories through their music. You need to notice that none of them were reaching for their private parts. Yes, clean clear lyrics. Your gramma might have listened to them, but so have millions too.

Both of Eddie Levert son passed away. They where the Group “Levert “ should check out their music too.

Both of Eddie's sons passed away. His son had the most beautiful Heartfelt voice, only duplicated by his Pop's, in HIS footsteps. He sang with his Godmother, Patti Labelle and killed it, yet, nvr received the Recognition he deserved.. he was truly "The wind beneath my wings."😪

The O'Jays are the epitome of classy soul! "Forever Mine" features their TWO awesome lead singers: the super smooth Walter Williams and the gospel influenced Eddie Levert! Please review "Use Ta Be My Girl", "Back Stabbers" and "For The Love of Money". Hooray for the mighty, mighty, O'Jays!

[@Chris-tg4gs]

My wife and I saw the O'Jays back in 1989 at Cincinnati Music Hall with the Temptations but the Temptations sang only one song due to a sickness in the group so the O'Jays put on a three hour concert. It was one of the best concerts we ever seen. Check out these songs by the O'Jays Livin' For The Weekend Family Reunion

[@marilynappleton5859]

@Chris Campbell - they definitely give a great concert! I've seen them perform several times and never came home disappointed. Knew every song; every word. 😁

[@subwaygoddess1]

I lived my teen years with The O'Jays' music. Their love songs are songs we "dedicated" to our boyfriends, their sad songs we cried to when we broke up with our boyfriends! Their songs tell stories. "Backstabbers" says " they smile in your face, all the time they wanna take your place." The Love Train talks about how all people all over the world are the same, are equal. It was the theme song for the TV show, the Love Train. The O'Jays are classic, they are smooth, they are soul! ✌💙

Whew, I remember when ....The O'Jays still one of the best groups of yesteryear and today. They still touring today and have a slew of bangers, "Let Me Make Love To", "You Got Your Hooks in Me​​​​​​​", "Sunshine​​​", all classics to name a few. This song was released 1979! Definitely a brown liquor song!!! 😁😁😁❤❤❤

You all have asked before, what the difference was between R&B and Soul music? This is SOUL music at it's best. With the Gamble and Huff production, the vocals of Walter Williams and Eddie Levert are unprecedented. Your reaction proves that the Ojays music stands the test of time.

[@omegapwhite9018]

Love the O’Jays! They have an extensive catalog with many hits.💕

[@makingknowsense8979]

You see them stepping during and that's traditional. In small bars there is often only 1 microphone so soul or blues groups would work out steps so they could go in to the mic when they sang and step back when others sang. The O'Jays were so typically 70s soul. Listen to their Money or Backstabbers - what they do!

[@yaboyy5142]

Crazy y'all dont know this song I'm 20 years old and this is a classic🖤

[@ladyschatze9159]

They grew up with their grandparents and they didn't listen to these songs only gospel.

[@jamedraa8472]

....you're parents raised you right....

[@sharians-bluesky]

You was listening to classic R&B while they were listening to gospel. Seeing that they were born in '99, their mom was prob young.

[@tonya2105]

The OJays was one of those soul groups from the 70's that kept the hits coming. The 2nd member of the group to sing is Eddie Levert . He had the power house voice. His sons even formed a group called LeVert and they went on to have many hit songs as well. His oldest son Gerald LeVert went solo and also had many hit songs. Gerald and his dad Eddie LeVert also came together and had hit songs and one of them was ( Baby Hold On To Me). Could you please do a reaction to that song? Video version please.

[@sharians-bluesky]

I always, always, always thought that Walter was their uncle 😅. You tought me something. Thank you 💛

[@donnabailey566]

I first saw the O'Jays at the Baby Grand in Canton, Ohio, years before they signed with the Philly Sound. They are the best group of only 3 guys out there. Now you need to play Stairway to Heaven. They made a lot of bangers. These aren't the original three, but just as good. So glad you're discovering them.

I met and interviewed them back in the 90’s. Went to their concert when they were touring withThe Temptations. Walter Williams was walking around outside the concert venue. We saw his jacket and thought it was a souvenir. When we asked him about it, he said it was a group jacket. We told him I was a teen community reporter, so he gave us backstage passes to meet the group and interview them. Unfortunately they had already left by the time our passes were honored. Saw The Temptations briefly as they were leaving. One of the musicians backstage happened to be a family member of one of the ladies that took me to the concert. He told us where they were staying, and we went to the hotel and found them. Met the local DJ’s there and took pictures with them. Took pictures with the O’Jays and some of the Temptations. Walter took us down to the hotel restaurant and let me interview him. And sat talking with us awhile. I would have to look at the old copies of the papers to remember which concert came first, but I believe it was this one. I ended up briefly meeting and interviewing Patti LaBelle at the same concert venue as I was leaving her concert. She was not a happy camper that night. A reporter from Ebony magazine was supposed to cover her concert and was blocked from taking photos of her during the concert by the venue. And Patti was prevented from having physical contact with her audience. Apparently Barbara Mandrell had almost been harmed in some manner during her concert at the same venue.

It’s funny, I remember hearing the O’Jays when I was a little kid, somewhere btwn 6-8 years old, while ridin in the car with my dad, and hearing songs at family gatherings. I was too young to understand the music back then, but now that I’m an adult listening to it, I totally understand the music now. Especially the O’Jays lyrics: “They smile in yo’ face, all the time, they wanna take yo’ place, The BackStabbers” song.

I slow danced to this song with a lot of girls (and got their numbers). Slow dance love songs are great for hooking up. One of my group of friends had a mobile discotheque and on the weekends when it wasn't hired out, we would have parties at his house. We would invite a different group of girls (from different schools) to come party with us each time. I loved the 70s.
