5 out of 5 stars Still relevant to this day........2007-05-15

Thanks to such anthems as the title track, "She's Only A Woman" and the perenially-popular title track this album became one of 1975's most important R&B albums. It was also the last O'Jays album to feature the original MFSB lineup and is a true masterpiece of '70s R&B. Classic Philly Soul at its best.

I purchased several copies of this CD to give away as prizes at my Family Reunion. It was a big "hit"! Of course, I kept a copy for myself. I love the song "Family Reunion". I listen to it over and over. Play this song at your family reunion to set the mood.

5 out of 5 stars D.C.'s Soul Brother #1.......2006-07-09

All I really have to say about this album is, DAMN!! I can't seem to understand why todays artist don't make albums like this anymore. Eddie Levert's voice blows you away and Walter William and William Powell's voices are so mesmerizing. This was the last album with the vocals of Powell's before his life was succumbed by cancer, RIP. This is why ol school music is far superior to the music of today's lame watered down artist of my generation. You can listen to this whole album straight through, and thats not because there are ony seven songs but because the songs are so fantastic. My favorite has to be "I Love Music" because of the sheer energy from the boys of MFSB (God bless them all) and the trio's powerful soaring vocals. Sometimes when I want to just relax I put this album on and it takes me back to 1975 which also was a year that Gamble&Huff released great albums by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Billy Paul, Three Degrees, and Peoples Choice. This was during a time that Philadelphia International were so hot they were releasing two albums a year (the O'Jays Survival in early 1975). Although the whole album is flawless they seemed to have saved the second half for last, with the last three songs originally on side two. You cannot call yourself a true ol'school player without it, so go cop this one quick.

5 out of 5 stars Oh yeah..........2005-06-11

My dad used to play this album on 8-track back in '75 ALL the time.When he wasn't playing this tape he was playing "Ship Ahoy","Survival" or "Backstabbers".In short,he was a fan of the Gamble & Huff + O'Jays sound.He also played Harold Melvin & Teddy (before he went solo in '77,that's where my mom stepped in).This album gets the slight nod because six of the seven songs (the title cut and beyond) sound really good.Sure,after three albums "Family Reunion" says nothing new.It just sounds good.Take that back,it sounds damn good!

P.S. "Stairway To Heaven" is among G&H/The O'Jays' best. (No,It's not the Led Zep song)
"Family Reunion":The ultimate cookout jam.
"Livin' For The Weekend" & "I Love Music":G&H featuring sizzling work by M.F.S.B....and oh yeah,The O'Jays.
"She's Only A Woman":Don't let that lame title fool you.A cut is waiting for you.

Along with "Ship Ahoy","Survival" or "Backstabbers", this album should be a very necessary addition to any R&B collection.Don't settle for greatest hits compilations when you don't have to.

5 out of 5 stars MY FAVORITE MALE GROUP.......2000-05-02

THE O JAYS HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE MALE GROUP FOR A LONG TIME.THE FIRST SONG I REMEMBER BY THEM IS LONELY DRIFTER.I DO NOT REMEMBER THE YEAR IT CAME OUT, BUT I KNEW THEN THE OJAYS WOULD BE AROUND FOR ALONG TIME. THE OJAYS HAVE NOT SANG A SONG YET THAT I DO NOT LIKE.INCLUDING FAMILY REUNION ALBUM.
