The O'Jays - You Got Your Hooks In Me (Official Soul Train Video) 

Me baby, it's me!

Me dear ❤

I am !!

Right here!

Meeee. I just saw them at MGM in Md. They were awesome. I wished they had done this song.

🎯

They grew up together, singing in church. Walter's father was the choir director.

I will never stop

2024

I will ALWAYS. THIS MUSIC NEVER DIES! ❤

Who listens to this in 2024⁉️

As usual speechless, daaaam❤

EXACTLY......It's unfortunate the only thing we have now is trash! Old school music forever!!!!

As as

For sure!

I Have All Of My Young (Teenager's) Family Members Listening To All The Oldies That I Was Brought Up Listening To, And They Love It... Even My Kids, Especially My Oldest And He's Only 20 yrs old And Been Listening For A Few Years Now

Totally agreed 100

Amen❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

And Climbing the stairs to heaven song how go home after church 😍🎉

DAT'S RIGHT !!!!

You are so right... 2024'

They should sound “taps” for all 26👎🏾 bc they have NO SOUL!!!✌🏾

Exactly👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I can't tell you how many times I've watched this. I miss those days when we'd have cookouts, house parties etc. Black people were more connected back then. All we have now is garbage

They grew up singing in churches! Look it up!

@@user-ks8yp1cd6kI don't doubt it.

The Mighty O'Jays!

I understand. I just turned 75 last week. This is at the TOP of my Playlist. Followed by Forever Mine!❤❤

Sammie Strain Voice Was As Powerful 😎 LC From Chicago 😎

Genuine as it is delivered

I love the o'jays music. I am 63 and have been the number fan since I was 12 or 11.

I am 63 and have been the o'jays number one fan since I was a child of 12

RIP William! Amen he was the best with those guys tho I appreciated his replacement.

This is one of the few O’Jays filmed performances where you get to see Bill Powell… RIP

William Powell cool as ice the last time I saw y’all at the Apollo theater and god that was a show of the ages back then

Big homie you got that right these 3 guy's some of the best to ever do it RIP Eddie and William

Eddie is still alive

YES!!!!!! I felt something from it. It was other worldly or something. They owned the heck out of that

YES!!!!!!!!!! It was almost other worldly or something. Something definitely different about it

That's right

Sammy Strain blended in beautifully.

You got that right give Sammie his props he cud sang and his dance move was awesome The Mighty Okays 😍😍

Correction The Mighty Ojays

yep 🙌🏿

Yes indeed

I swear this one and you are my sunshine check that one out too 💯

Under 500k views - the disrespect, the disrespect!

EVER!!!

It is one of the BEST YET!!!🎯💕

EXACTLY 💯

The Ship Ahoy album was iconic! The title song was extremely deep and the album cover was hauntingly beautiful!

I was listening to this this morning while on a hike on a jungle trail in southern Thailand. Next level stuff, the whole album, really. But this song takes you someplace good.

This song take me way back. Super awesome

Yes...absolutely.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I agree wholeheartedly

You got that right , but I'm gonna bring real singing back , there is hope Bruno Mars is doing a excellent job of emulating the real singing style him and his band mates also play real instruments

Exactly!!!!!

I absolutely agree!!Eddie👍🏾🎯

AMEN

Yep that’s where Gerald got it from, Sean could sing 🎶 too. Left here too soon

Ditto, ditto!!💞💞💞🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏽👑👑👑💖🙏🏽🙏🏼

God bless you

As someone said, this performance was other worldly!!! I could feel their RAW emotions. Whew Whee!!!!

@@jesusislord3321 Yes indeed these so called singers of today can't even comprehend how this type of SOUL SINGING is done

@@thebassman5820 All we have now is filth/trash!

Vulnerability and strength! That's a great way to put it.

Tricey you’re right. They ain’t just going through the motions like robots. Good ol times in terms of music.

Singing is only half. Performing is another art, the other half. You gotta "sell" it, make 'em feel it. "The Mighty, Mighty O'Jays!" -Don Cornelius, Soul Train

Not exaggerating......I know I've watched this probably 30 times or more. This performance has really moved me. Takes me back to when times were easy, we loved one another, our families were tighter and more connected.

So do I brother

So do i

Sho you right!!!

I would have loved to have seen the O Jays perform! Love Train is my fave song! 💖

@@anitakos1375 I want to take you one day

Me too. I'm sure I've watched this 75 times or more

Yes! You have to feel the music to be able to sing like this

I have chills right now. Lawd

Eddie can wale his ass off!!!!

What you say What you say

❤💯💚💙💜

Yes

Exactly! Didn't care about the sweat either

👑Eddie hypnotizes me with every note! They really have signature vocals! Emotionally Yours and Darlin Darlin Baby tenderizes my Soul! O my goodness! Priceless!👑

@@rhondawoodhouse5508 yes Amen to that!

I'm glad they stayed together. Any you're right, all we have now is garbage. I only listen to old school music. For those of us who were raised during that era, we were blessed beyong bless. If only time could have stood still

Exactly, I shared the same thought. This trio was on a different level. I can't stand today's "cess pool music!"

Nah nah, you gotta see Eddie singing stairway to heaven live on Soul Train, he was on one that day!!!!

The truth

YES!!!!!! I was feeling that for real. Almost like he was about yo take them to church or something.

@@kevingreen650 thanks for mentioning that. I'm getting ready to check it out right now

You better Preach..!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean that sincerely. It's in ain sight. Eddie and Walter can sing and even now. Nothing has changed. Thats with these young people cant keep up. Tyrese Gibson and Johnny Gill may be the only ones that can compete. Thank you.

The best trio ever! They could have had solo careers, but, I'm glad they stuck together. They knew that what they had was special

They turned soul train into church foreal.

@@jonathanlyons230 I can't disagree with you on that one because that performance right there you really can feel it in your heart and your soul

That's awesome, well deserved👋👋👋👋👋

@@kimwilliams8802 👋👋👋👋 right back at you them R&B groups from the 50 60s and '70s were the real deal and some of those groups from back in the day had studio musicians when they were recording records they did not have the studio producers behind the controls of the board it was MFSB the studio musicians 4 Philadelphia international records and the funk Brothers full Motown records as musicians for most of the soul groups that we heard back in the day The O'Jays put out a record call I love music and so do I from its 1920 era till it's 2021 era of jazz and Blues folk bluegrass era music is definitely powerful because it controls the mind 🎼🎶🎵🎹🎺🥁🎻🎺🎷🎸

Every Soul Train performance is Lip Synced .. That's a known fact .. They've just been performing the song for so long they got every word down pat ... A lot of Soul Train performers look like they're performing live because of their passion

Unbelievable 🔥🔥

I agree

No group like this

Keep your hair on the radio

You Got That Right ✅️ 👏

You are not going to believe this, but, I know I've watched it probably close to that this past week, and have been forwarding it to everybody, especially those of us who grew up during that time. This performance is on a deeper, spiritual level or something. I literally feel it in my soul. Makes me long for those days again😢

My kinda people!!

@@benji7587 YES!!!!!!

I'm on it. Lol

I know exactly how you feel. I literally can't get enough of it.

Man u talking bout sangin.. this is a great sample of what that really is... Brings a smile to my heart

.... and I'm 76 years of age and this still is one of my favorites....Even my children, who are now adults with their own children now, know every song on the Ship Ahoy albumn.

I'm 58 and enjoying my belated mother passed away 2 years ago so she was a church going 🙏 person

Thanks alot baby girl

❤❤❤❤Eddie is the man

Long live the OJays

💯💯💕

Those were the days when music was music .
