      Eddie is a "standout" among singers and he sings from his heart. Walter is very talented. I had a brief conversation with him some years ago when The O'Jays performed at a casino and he is courteous - a real down to earth gentleman. Walter speaks eloquently. In my opinion Eddie and Walter can't be touched - they are both classy men. In fact all 3 singers are to be commended.

      @@barbarayoung2053 true because Eric the last member gave me the biggest hug after l was upset when the O'jays were being honored in Harlem,New York one year.Something happened to their flight 🤔l did see Blue Magic,The Moments and The Manhattans and even the writer of most of their songs was there and talked but l was there to see the O'jays😘 and at the very end they arrived and did their thing and l slept real good that night because they showed up🥰❤️🖤💚thank you Eric, ALL of our Chocolate Brothas are a class act🥰❤️🖤💚🙏🏽❤️🖤💚 Blessings to everyone

      Eddie does still look good. I can't figure out why he decided to grow that nasty white beard though, especially since he was always so smooth looking. Brothers donning white beards in your old age is not a good look in my humble opinion.

    Pretty even, enlightening video that, unfortunately, came up short for two reasons: (1) The pictures displayed were often not coordinated with the person the narrator was talking about at the time (2) the video does not elaborate enough on the contributions made by the people they feature: little mention is made of the songs they made with all four members and it gives the impression they did not record until they signed with Philadelphia International, no mention is made of the songs Walter Williams led with the group ("Forever Mine", "Brandy", "Used To Be My Girl", "Darling, Darling Baby", "Cry Together"), of the artists Bobby Massey worked with or the hits he produced after leaving The O'Jays (i.e. Ponderossa Twins + One and The Osmonds), or even the songs Dyke & The Blazers made famous ("Funky Broadway", "We Got More Soul", "Let A Woman Be A Woman"). Speaking of Dyke/Arlester Christian, it was interesting to discover that his group used to back The O'Jays.
