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 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.
