Another late night, another "Best..." :D
Honestly, I had some minor issues with this group politically (don't worry Bernie, Nicky, I wont go there :lol: ), but there's no ignoring gem after gem from these men.
I'll do a Nicky :D and go with 3 though I could easily go with a half dozen others. These songs are:
I Love Music
Used Ta Be My Girl
Give the People What They Want
Find them and destroy them!

Paul, I like songs from their peak years '72-'79 & my highlights are:
Forever Mine
Back Stabbers
I Love Music
Use Ta Be My Girl
Livin' For The Weekend
Put Your Hands Together
No Longer Charting
I'll go with:
Love Train
For The Love Of Money
Backstabbers
All three just bring back memories of a certain time and space. For The Love Of Money must get a special mention because it was soooo different to anything else. Still not quite sure why it was produced and arranged as it was, but I'm glad they did it.
I Love Music was their best though, for me.

'Love Train' is one of my favourite ever tracks.
'Sing A Happy Song'
'Darlin', Darlin', Baby'
'Put Our Heads Together'
'Use' Ta Be My Girl'
'I Love Muesli'
:lol:
What would you do without your muesli...where would you be without a bowl?

I went through a period when I just turned 18 a couple of years back when I got drunk as often as possible. I have this K-Tel compilation that has "Message In Our Music" on it and I always used to dance to that. Then I discovered "I Love Music", "Put Our Heads Together" and the non-disco but still cool "We're All In This Thing Together". From what I have read The O'Jays, (thanks to Gamble and Huff) were quite strong voices in the Black movement, and I applaud their songs...funky, yet with a message (in their music...)

'Love Train' was one of the first records I bought as an 8 year old kid out on a shopping trip with my dear old mum (R.I.P.) in 1973 at an indoor market in North Staffordshire; just thought I'd share that quite uninteresting fact with u disco citizens!
That track however isn't my favourite; I think after much consideration that it has to be 'Message In The Music' or 'Put Our Heads Together'.
Luv & hugs, Steely. x
...ya gotta beat the street......
