Biography
The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in summer 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert, Walter Lee Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey, and Bill Isles. The O'Jays made their first chart appearance with the minor hit "Lonely Drifter" in 1963, but reached their greatest level of success once the producers Gamble & Huff signed them to their Philadelphia International label in 1971. With Gamble & Huff, the O'Jays emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with "Back Stabbers" (1972), and topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the following year with "Love Train". Several other U.S. R&B hits followed, and the O'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
Channel description
The O’Jays hail from Canton, Ohio, but they’re forever associated with The Sound of Philadelphia. After spending the ‘60s recording for various labels, producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff signed them to their brand-new Philadelphia International Records label in 1972. There, the vocal group’s perfect blend of sweet Philly soul and socially conscious lyrics made them legends, thanks to unforgettable hits like “Back Stabbers,” “Love Train,” “For The Love Of Money,” “I Love Music” and “Use Ta Be My Girl.” As proud inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, The O’Jays continued to record and tour well into the 2010s, led by original members Eddie Levert and Walter Williams.
