EASILY one of my favorite old school groups. Eddie LeVert and Walter Williams are a musical institution of 60 years of music that doesn’t receive 1/10th of the acclaim they deserve for everything they’ve endured: death of children, multiple sclerosis, COVID took a toll on Eddie. It’s a shame that folks will act like they’ve always loved them when they are gone..
And Britt, we are basically age peers but I’ve seen the O’Jays over the past decade in concert. Their final concerts were last year and seeing them one last time made me want to cry!
chancebrown106:. I don't know of any other group who has had two better lead singers than the O'Jays. They were so good that one did not feel he was better than the other vocally.
The 70's was a good time for music fashion and fun. Nice to see how your reactions are to the older music of all type. Love it. Take care and God Bless you.
Philly sound - one of my faves - For The Love Of Money (biggest hit) and my fave Backstabbers (a former friend told me a nightclub manager always heard Black Stabbers - They smile in your face, everytime you want get in your place - the……).
The a lot of the beats that many soul singers were singing to were to the Philly sound many of them were Philly natives themselves and many weren’t, but that sound is all Philly
Eddie LeVert, Walter Williams, and Sammy Strain. We owned this album on vinyl. I listened to it, for hours! I'm glad that I got to see the O'Jays, in concert ,in their prime!
I think the Ja Rule song uses an interpolation rather than a direct sample, but this is the song. That was the Murder Inc. formula at that time. And yes, Eddie Levert is the dad of Gerald and Sean. Now you gotta do Gerald and Eddie’s “Baby Hold Onto Me”
Soul Train!! That show was so important in the 70s along with a few other "variety shows" in bringing Motown and soul to the mainstream. Beautiful harmonies!
BrittReacts:. If you love the 70's music then it is yours as much as anyone who lived during that time. I am 62 and I love jazz music that was before my time, but I claim it as my own. Okay to the song you just reacted to. I've been waiting on more reactions to this song. There are not many reactions to it. The O'Jays have a large catalog of top hits that still need to be reacted to. Another O'jays song that I feel is sung in a similar manner to Cry Together is a song called "Your Body's Here With Me (But Your Mind's On The Other Side Of Town)". As you can tell by the title the subject matter of this song is different. I guarantee you will love it.
Hey, Miss Britt. You remind me so much of my little sis voice too. The man with that grit in his voice is Gerald Levert's dad, Eddie. Great reaction as always.
Love your reactions, one thing.......when you talk for more than a couple of seconds, stop the vid then rewind a few seconds. You missed a huge part of the song when you hit your elbow.......we cried together, and then we, and then we, and then we made love
LOL at all the people complaining about a reactor...uh, you know...reacting to a song. If yawl want to just hear the song why not go to the O'jays youtube channel, or a streamer...?
If this would've been a rap song or current ratchet song of today I guarantee you she would've been quiet as a church mouse. She literally talked through the whole song. You can pretty much tell the fake insincere reactions with some of these young RUclipsrs.
You talk too much that you missed the best part and the best moves of the song... Because you're so worried about some sample by ja rule.. who cares about the sample pay attention to the song. With you talking so much You're taking all the attention away from the song.
Go deep down the o'jays rabbit hole I promise you will enjoy there feel good music,I'm from Cleveland Ohio and Gerald went to shaker hts high not to far from shaw high rivals back in the day,but he is the son of Eddie LeVert and Walter Williams was the guy with the deep voice you were talking about Eddie was the next voice you heard
Family reunion, back stabbers, love train & for the love of money are some of their hit songs.
Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.
Hey Britt, we from the 60’s and 70’s love that you’re digging on our music. And you’re so absolutely beautiful!❤

React to
A song by the O'Jays called
"LOVE TRAIN"

Glad you enjoyed it

We heard more music, then we saw. Seeing was a luxury, not a distraction.
Such a great group!! Have always enjoyed their music!!
The best!
The Ojays are from Canton Ohio, check out the music from Levert from Cleveland Oh.
But their music was made In Philly it’s a great beat and sound to the O jays voices

Yeah you are right that is the sample.
Stairway to Heaven, Use ta be my Girl and Love of Money are classics by the OJays.
This a vibe!
That's Eddie Levert, Gerald dad. Awesome singer

Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Britney, this was a time to go to a show. Or to party. Every song had a story and a meaning. Men cried. Men loved and lived by music
You were right about the Ja Rule sample. I don't remember ever hearing it.
Do the O'jays - backstabbers
I ❤ them
Hi Britt, I would like to see you, with your bubbly & witty personality, react to the FLOATERS. YOU'LL BE BOTH SUPRISED AND ENTERTAINED!
Hey, Miss Britt. You remind me so much of my little sis voice too. The man with that grit in his voice is Gerald Levert's dad, Eddie. Great reaction as always.
brings back great memories....
This type of song was for VERY slow dancing. 👀😅
So Far Over Some People's Head... Be Quiet, Listen and Learn
From the 50s to about the early 90s it was a sound of soul that was unique to Philly like Motown to Detroit
It's a song made for slow dancing.
We made slow slow songs back then cause we slow danced if you picture what I mean
Eddie and he had another son Shaun.
I think you should react to Toni Terry "when I'm with you"...
AZ sampled this on Mo Money Mo Murder (Homicide)
If the third guy is there for looks he nailed that
Your accurate about the sample
Yep, Eddie Lavert is Gerald Levert and Sean Levert father, but sadly both sons have passed on.
Sample sample sample.... we love the Originals, nuff said!
Gerald Levert's father is named Eddie Levert. 😂
Eddie Lavert is the one there. He was in several other groups. I can’t remember names now
Philly International made Soul music for the working class folks.
Can you react to Love Train by the O'jays.
How long did you take ballet? You look like a ballerina. Fellow dancer here! ❤❤❤❤
Love your reactions, one thing.......when you talk for more than a couple of seconds, stop the vid then rewind a few seconds. You missed a huge part of the song when you hit your elbow.......we cried together, and then we, and then we, and then we made love
You have to react to eddie levert son Gerald levert you will like him he died in 2006 but had a 25 year music career
I'm not trying to rub it in, please don't think that, but, the 70s we're the best highschool years. Even better than the 60s....
Please please please please 🙏 react to their hit song " FOREVER MINE "
What you doing listening to these Old School slow jams? 😅🤣 You ready to get deep like this? You sho you ready? 😅 IJS
Please react to stairway to heaven by them
Violins aren't as seggsy as the segsophone, but they're close. Great great harmonies.
by the way carol cnanning has some melanin
So now you know what Kendrick Lamar got the sample from
Hey did you see my last request
Barry white ? 1:06
Love this song but I never saw a reaction video paused so many times.
I’d like you react to Ohio Players I want to be free
LOL at all the people complaining about a reactor...uh, you know...reacting to a song. If yawl want to just hear the song why not go to the O'jays youtube channel, or a streamer...?
👍👍💯❤️🔥
If this would've been a rap song or current ratchet song of today I guarantee you she would've been quiet as a church mouse. She literally talked through the whole song. You can pretty much tell the fake insincere reactions with some of these young RUclipsrs.
Could you react to "Love Song" by 311 one of these days? Rock song that has a soul like vibe to it.
I’ll check it out !
Yeh... You look less than thirty. When were you watching soul train with your family?
Too much talking over the flow of the song...Eddie Levert is the father of Gerald Levert
Jesus Christ please stop talking so much , she’s starting to ruin every song
Why are you watching a react channel if not for the reactions?
@@mskitten2708How can you react to a song that you don't 'really' hear! Comment section is for the purpose of commenting.
How can you appreciate the music if you keep talking. Is there something wrong with slow? That's weird.
She talked through the entire song! 👎👎👎 but the music was great.
Please listen to the song
If you stop talking you may enjoy this song better. 😮
Chile loooves to hear herself talk.
@@blackprivatestick8625AMEN TO THAT!
It's a reaction video
You talk too much that you missed the best part and the best moves of the song... Because you're so worried about some sample by ja rule.. who cares about the sample pay attention to the song. With you talking so much You're taking all the attention away from the song.
Too much narrative
I couldn’t even listen to this entire reaction 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️Girl please stop talking so much
Thank you
Why are you watching a react channel if not for the reactions?
