The "other" O'Jays album masterpiece, Ship Ahoy combined shattering message tracks and stunning love songs in a fashion matched only by Curtis Mayfield's finest material. From the album cover showing a slave ship to the memorable title song and incredible "For the Love of Money," Gamble and Huff addressed every social ill from envy to racism and greed. Eddie Levert's leads were consistently magnificent, as were the harmonies, production and arrangements. "Put Your Hands Together" and "You Got Your Hooks In Me" would be good album cuts, but on Ship Ahoy they were merely icing on the cake.
in approximately 165 different hip-hop and rap tracks of varying quality, this Gamble/Huff/Jackson Philly classic from 1974 appears not to have been posted before. The O'Jays seem to have failed the audition at Orwell's Ministry of Truth. they made some wonderful records in the mid-seventies, but have long since dropped off the radar.This is still fantabulosa tuneage
