Singing about the politics of love, power and the almighty dollar, The O’Jays were then Greek chorus of the 1970s. In the gospel tradition, they called out the good news in hard times, shamed the hypocrites and celebrated their appetite for love. To America they were the conscience of a falling empire, and the cornerstone of an empire emerging in Philadelphia.
“Ship Ahoy” was their masterstroke. A PHILLY SOUL CLASSIC.
