More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: Ok, I'm sufficiently confused. The main article contradicts itself in stating that the O'Jays are botha a Philadelphia group and an Ohio group. There's a brief explanation posted in the discussion pages, but the article remains ambiguous. Can anyone fix this, please? ~~Magnet For Knowledge~~ (edit)

The O'jays are one of the longest running African American singing groups of their time.

Contradiction: "Use Ta Be My Girl" was their final Top Five hit, though they continued scraping the bottom of the R&B charts throughout the 1980s. Let Me Touch You (1987; see 1987 in music) was a breakthrough of sorts, and included the #1 R&B hit "Lovin' You". If the O'Jays were "scraping the bottom of the R&B charts throughout the 1980s," how did they have a #1 R&B hit in 1987? 66.17.118.207 15:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphia group??

While the O'Jays made it big with the Gamble & Huff's Sound of Philadelpiha (TSOP), the O'Jays are distinctly a N.E. Ohio based group that lived/centered their lives in and around Cleveland... Last week's tragic early passing of Eddie Levert's popular son, Gerald, proves this point, as Gerald was born and educated in greater Cleveland, Canton and Shaker Heights, respectively, and had a huge, star-studded memorial service Friday (11/18/06) in downtown Cleveland's Public Hall... so this should be changed. 151.197.39.235 22:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
