The O'Jays are important, they started in the late 50's, had several R&B
hits in the mid-late 60's for Imperial and Bell Records, toured
endlessly on
the "Chitlin Circuit" and later were the group that brought the
"Philadelphia Sound" to national prominence in the early 70's.
I reply:
Not "the" group (if I may), but one of a half dozen or so: The
Stylistics (my fav), The Spinners, MFSB, Harold Melvin and the Blue
Notes (Teddy Pendergrast), etc. Gotta speak up for my area "homies" ...
and spread the luv (and props), baby. TSOP!

P.S. The O'Jays (who I love) *may* have had more hit singles and started
out earlier than the
others, so, by that criteria, Billy is certainly correct.
