Thirteen years ago I was you. I am still giddy and even more happy at nearly 70. My wish for you that you are the same when you get to where I am. This song just personifies everything for us.
Please 🙏🏾 for Eddie who is battling some serious health issues. But it's scary to think we could lose this legendary voice...Get well soon Eddie and get back to what you do best..."SANG"
It was this singing that amongst other things convinced us that we are beautiful as black people. That apartheid was deadly wrong. A lie. An evil. That such a singing could only come from a better civilization. This music kept us intact. We never became racist in fighting apartheid. Thanks for this great music
If you were blessed to listen to this kind of music in the 70s listening to some of the music today will take you back to a specific time and place during those years. 😊
can't help but think of Philadelphia's 105.3 WDAS fm whenever i hear this song. i grew up hearing this nearly everyday out there throughout the 1990's. i no longer live there now but this song takes me to those days every time. great melodies, great harmonies. bonified classic here.
For real! He was not only lead on this song, but also lead on "Darling Darling Baby." (Another of my all time favorites). All the while, he was suffering from multiple sclerosis and, sometimes, barely able to perform dance moves on stage at live performances. Much love to him and the O'Jays!
A lost art of worshipping, loving, complimenting and appreciating our women!!!! These young men these days are more into impressing other nyghas instead, of impressing women! Our young women don't even know what this right here feels like!!
This song was played constantly by my sister when I was growing up and when I hear it I’m sadden, because she passed away a few years ago this was one of her favorite.
Actually they have been around since the 50s. They didnt hit it big until they came to Philadelphia records. Their first album with Philadelphia came out in 1969. Songwriters/ Producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff put them on the map.
I've been in love with this idealized man since my late teens, I still am. Forty years and two divorces later admittedly, part of my problem was having a low tolerance for the flaws of the human man. Blessings to those out there who found the balance and are making it work. 💞
"...part of my problem was having a low tolerance for the flaws of the human man." Heartfelt acknowledgement and recognition here too. May Thee Almighty forgive and strengthen us both.
Every time I listen to 'Lovin' You' by The O'Jays, I feel like you're right here with me again, smiling and swaying to the music. You always knew how to make a Saturday morning feel so special, with the sounds of soul filling the air. Though you're no longer with us, your love for music and the memories we shared live on in every note. I miss you, Grandma. This song will forever remind me of the warmth you brought to my life
This is real soul music. They just don't make music this sensual and with so much love. No one does it better than the Mighty O'JAYS. Hats off to these gentlemen. 💕💖👍
My future husband just sent this to me and every morning wen we wish each other off he always texts me "Loving Yhu"🥰🥰🥰 as a child eye felt the emotions in their voices but to hear it now those lyrics have a realistic meaning 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽💗💗💗🤧🤧🤧
My dad and his wife would dance to this song and I would just melt for them both it was real and I was only them when this was on they both have passed but I know this is on repeat for them 😢 ❤
PEOPLE !!!LISTEN TO THE WORDS. I STILL LOVE THIS SONG. EVERY NIGHT. LISTEN, ESPECIALLY THE LAST WORDS. JOLDING YOU, LOVING YOU. MAN!!!. I FEEL YOU. LOVE ❤❤❤
This song reminds me of this young woman I use to go with and I was in love with her I hope one that I can find her tell I never stop loving her love always tony❤
I was a young child remembering listening to their songs. Their music brings back childhood memories.. Now that I'm a adult looking at Water Williams oh my !!! that man was gorgeous 😍
My absolute favorite love ♥️ song OF ALL TIME past OR present... So sexy, so sensual ... nurturing...#70sbaby. I'm so fortunate to have seen the O'Jays live at Windgate in Brooklyn during the free concert series years back but they never sang this song 😔 but it was still treat just to see them♥️ Long live the O'Jays 🙏🏾
That's is old school love he said as long as I keep the bills paid and groceries on the table and as long as I am loving you he did not say anything about 50/50 he put it all on him this is the way I grew up
My parents would play this song all the time when I was young. The O'Jays were one of the first groups whose songs I loved ever since I can remember. This one is one of my all time favorites by them!
The Masters, "The Mighty Mighty O'Jay's, I've been with you early on and It's been pure pleasure! Thank God for your artistry, farewell in your retirement, you're deserving with your generational music. Thanks @TheO'Jay's #TheOjay's Viewed 01/23/2023 still.
You know every song in my arsenal is a testimony of what Id like my love life to be. I don't say that this song is dedicated to a woman. It just lets me know love is out there and I'll find it. Forever Music

There's many ways to let a woman know she's loved through music and this song has to be in the upper echelon of it all. I love our Black love music
RIP MOMMA AND DADDY THEIR FAVORITE SONG!!!! LOVING YOU EVERYDAY AND FOREVER ❤ HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING PARADISE....LOVE U 🙏🏽.

They don't make music like this anymore.
At all...
Truth!
R-Kelly did
So true! 70 ‘s had the best music,!!!
They sure don't 😢
Eddie the Goat, black soul down to the bone!
It's take a grown man to sing like this from the heart and not feel diminished as a man #grownmanstatus
👏🏽
And you can forget about that now😥

Butterball #1. Great memories
Just sent this to my girl to start her day off right. Nothing like classic soul music to express how much you love someone when words aren’t enough.
Great guy R.G somebody knows how to treat his queen .
Good one Guy, she is lucky. I see the smile on her face everytime she hears this song. I am 72 made ne feel good
Walter Williams is a top 5 wildly underrated vocalist OF ALL TIME!
For real! He was not only lead on this song, but also lead on "Darling Darling Baby." (Another of my all time favorites). All the while, he was suffering from multiple sclerosis and, sometimes, barely able to perform dance moves on stage at live performances. Much love to him and the O'Jays!
Agreed
BLACKS, BRING DISCO BACK PUUUUUULEEEEEASE!
THE SONGS WE HEAR ON THE RADIO TODAY SUCKS. WE NEED MUSIC THAT MAKE US BE IN LOVE EVERYDAY.
I still miss you Gerald in 2024 and forever more
The O'Jays have always been one of my favorite old school R&B groups. These men can definitely speak to your soul.🎶🔥
They were BAD ASS ,S
I Oh, So Agree🎶🎵😚
Truth speak 🗣️ !!
They are so underrated. They should be as popular as the Temptations, The Supremes, The Miracles, Earth Wind and Fire and the Isley Brothers.
@@Bluesmoke4200 Exactly, I 1000% agree💯
For my forever love mo'nique thank you for the past 25 years and the 3 beautiful girls we made together you are everything to me baby
If I'm ever blessed to get married, this song will be for the first dance.
The Real Kings of the Love Ballads!! There will never be this Perfection again!
This group has always been my favorite so many young memories still Loving my 💓 husband as it was yesterday Thanking God for 36 years ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Lets all be thankful for music like this. 👍

Awwwww man Lord please bring back the good old days when we were together as black people 💯💯💯💯💯🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💪💪💪💪💪
I heard “I want to scream “. Then here comes Walter screaming! Pure talent with these brothers. In my opinion, the Best singing group ever!
Mahlangu Edward: I wish I can wind back the clock,listening to this song made me think that l had everything l wanted in life.
I love this , it reminds me of the love my husband and I shared for years...After 10 years of marriage we still holding hands when we were together.
My mother and father loved some OJays; I was a kid in the ‘70s but I still recognize greatness when I heard it! Timeless!
It was from the nineties.
I first heard this song in Savannah, GA in the 80’s. I’m still in love with the song. Nothing like the good old oldies. ❤
I here n Savannah ga rite now b i was living m Millen ga when i first heard back n the 80's
We were a legend and he gave up on me after 22years
A lost art of worshipping, loving, complimenting and appreciating our women!!!! These young men these days are more into impressing other nyghas instead, of impressing women! Our young women don't even know what this right here feels like!!
Come on people let`s not forget this song did for us....... this song will always will be in our lives
