About

THE O'JAYS IN CONCERT:

When it comes to classy, color-coordinated, old-school soul showmanship, nobody can touch the O'Jays. Taking the stage in matching suits to perform beloved classics from their decade-spanning catalog, the debonair trio never fails to transport audiences back to the good old days of "Love Train" and "For the Love of Money." Hot off the heels of their 2013 induction into the R&B Music Hall of Fame, the O'Jays will treat fans to several highly anticipated appearances in 2014.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in Ohio in 1958, The O'Jays experienced moderate success throughout the '60s with a string of minor hits like "Lonely Drifter" and  "Lipstick Traces." On the verge of calling it quits in the early '70s, the band finally got their big break after signing to Philadelphia International for their platinum-selling 1972 single "Back Stabbers." The song established them as a key player in the Philadelphia soul movement, a funk-infused brand of soul that pioneered many of the elements later adopted by disco. A string of hits would follow throughout the '70s, including epochal No. 1 smash "Love Train," creating a legacy the band continues to honor today with their spirited performances on tour.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"They sounded great and put on a really great show. They sang all of their popular songs, ending with For the Love of Money...which brought the house down. Everyone was on their feet, dancing and singing and really enjoying the show."

"This was a great show. They performed their old-school moves and wore matching outfits, something you don't see with ‘newer’ performers."

"The show was awesome. The O'Jays took me down memory lane and back. The show was attended by ages 20-80 and all had a great time."

  • The Ojays are still awesome!!

    by Smootches on 10/31/09Boutwell Auditorium - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    I try not to miss any event that includes the Ojays. I have been purchasing their music for 35 years now and will always love The Ojays. Shoot I use to listen to the Ojays on WBLS when Frankie Crocker was the host. As we all know music is nothing when there's no story being told. The Oldies has help to groom each and everyone of us...strictly my opinion. Keep doing what your doing, it feels good to hear what I call real music. Eddie I know your a married man and no disrespect to the Mrs., so I will continue to just look, admire and wish, I shoulda coulda. I hope there's is nothing wrong with that. Walter, your style becomes you, sexy. Knowles, sorry I can't remember your first name. You add the good flavor to group Kudos to you all

  • the ojays were great

    by somemoore on 10/31/09Boutwell Auditorium - BirminghamRating: 3 out of 5

    There was a serious delay in time which I thought was very unprofessional between each act. The comedian was great and the O'Jays were awesome as always.

  • by Ladyc35 on 10/31/09Boutwell Auditorium - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    The O'jays are an amazing Group !!!!! Their performance is the same as it was 30 years ago. They all look great, sound great, and the bottom line they are great!!!!

  • O'Jays

  • The O'Jays --- Outstanding!

  • Remembering Back In the Days

    by MonicaD on 7/29/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 4 out of 5

    Being at the O'Jays Concert reminded me of the very first time I every seen them over 30 years again. The concert was really good because I final ly got to hear and see a lot of other artist that I've always wanted to see.

  • Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    by Memphisslim on 7/14/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    This was a FANtastic show!! I was so glad to see the Intruders, whom I had never seen! They were SHARP!!And the REAL Stylistics! The O'Jays were at the top of their game, and the show would have been GREAT even if they had appeared alone. One small problem; the sound system left a little to be desired.

  • Wonderful Experience

    by Lejon on 7/13/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 4 out of 5

    Hello all, Just wanted to share my expericence with all, on the concert "The Sound of Philadelphia". I must admit that I didn't think I was going to enjoy myself... However I was so WRONG ! That was one of the BEST Concerts that I have been too in a while. I purchased the tickets for my husband birthday, he really enjoys the oldies....My husband cannot not stop talking about the GREAT time he had... Not to mention our seats, we were 2 rows from the stage !Thank you to everyone that performed.. especially THE MIGHTY OJAY'S.......

  • Philly Tour

    by 1freespirit on 7/13/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 3 out of 5

    The Ojay's were okay and moved well, but this is an oldies concert. They could have given complete renditions of "LET ME MAKE LOVE TO YOU and HOOKS IN ME". Ojays have been doing a full rendition of STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN for over ten years. Can we get a little bit of change up? The new Stylistics should check out the old Stylistics show because those guys put on a show. If they want staying power with loyal fans they should do a show like the old Stylistics and Bloodstone do it. LOVED,LOVED,LOVED Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes. Way to go boys!!!!! Drop the Jones Girls and give others more time to perform.

  • Got to catch these greats while you can

    by MrDMS on 7/12/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    All classic r&b and soul fans please pay attention... You must take advantage of these group concerts, how often can you catch herald melvin with the delfonics stylistics o'jays etc. Not to mention these guys are getting old. When they're gone that's it. They're no more great groups left, or very few. This show was high energy and I'd love to see it over and over.

  • Absolutely Fabulous

    by petunia on 7/12/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    That was the best old school concert that I have attended .The entertainers were fabulous,and the sound system was excellent . What a refreshing change, I could understand what the performers were singing and it made sense !!!!!

  • O'Jays were disappointing!

    by Afficionado on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 3 out of 5

    The highlights of the show were the Eddie Holman, Jones Girls, Stylistics, and the Blue Notes. The lead singer of the O'Jays was not in the same league with the other lead singers of the evening. I was annoyed that the show started before 7:15pm (the time printed on the tickets). I missed Eddie's first song.

  • Age Doesn't Matter!!!

    by rokito on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    It's unbelievable and incredible. They can still sing exactly the same power and tone when they were young. Imagine that your grandpa can sing with making those steps?lol I am so glad to have gotten a chance to see their performance finally. You must go and see!

  • The O'Jays were great!!

    by katslinkin on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    Great evening!! Best night I've had in a long time. Teddy wasn't there but the Blue Notes tore it up. Would see it again.

  • First Church of the Ojays

    by Buster500 on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 4 out of 5

    Brought back memories of my youth when love & relationships were taken for granted we had fun and we had some sad times but bottom line is this music is a map of our lives. but the show stopper was of course The Mighty Mighty OJay's. The Mighty O'Jays took us to a place where Gods gift of song and music resides Rev Walter Williams and the Right Rev Eddie Levert preached a musical sermon like no other. If it were just the O'Jays alone it would be worth the show.

  • Excellent!

    by Akira on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    I'm a huge fan of the O'Jays. Even now they played great!! I love all the songs they played. My favorite song is the wildflower. I'm so impressed when I hear the song. As my request, I want to hear the song, "Wildflower" much longer :)

  • The Sound of Philadelphia is alive and well...

    by freditor on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 3 out of 5

    Every group of singers in this show was terrific. It was an amazing array of artists, from the Delfonics, to the Blue Notes, to the Stylistics to the O'Jays, the last of which was truly the show highlight. My complaint: all of the groups who preceded the Stylistics did a maximum of three songs. The Stylistics set ran maybe 30 minutes long, and the O'Jays' was only about 45 minutes. The latter didn't come close to playing all of their hits. It was terrific to see all of these legendary groups on one stage -- this is why I'm recommending the show -- I just wish they were out there longer.

  • All

    by muzicman on 7/11/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal CityRating: 5 out of 5

    Concert was great except it was to to loud. I've been to lots of concerts but this was to loud,. Sound man had it to high. Could not hear the singers very well.

  • awsome show

    by suade on 7/5/09Universal Orlando - OrlandoRating: 5 out of 5
