The O'Jays Come To The Van Wezel 1/15/2011

THE O'JAYS will perform live at the VAN WEZEL PERFORMING ARTS HALL on Saturday, January 15 at 8 p.m.

One of soul's greatest vocal groups of the 70s, THE O'JAYS epitomize the Philly soul sound: smooth, rich harmonies backed by elaborate arrangements, lush strings, and a touch of contemporary funk.

Following their first charting single, 1963s "Lonely Drifter," the group of high school dreamers grew to be some of legendary production/songwriting team Gamble and Huff's most acclaimed artists. With over forty years of international success, THE O'JAYS have had 59 charted songs, 24 top ten smashes, and an important social and political impact on generations and nations.
These American favorites are light years away from easing up on the gas. Eddie Levert Sr., Walter Williams Sr. and Eric Nolan Grant deliver an incredibly dynamic and energetic live show, bringing back best-loved hits like "Back Stabbers," "For The Love Of Money," "Darlin' Darlin' Baby," "Love Train," "I Love Music," "Use Ta Be My Girl," and "Have You Had Your Love Today".

Ticket prices range from $30 to $80. For more information and to buy tickets, contact the Van Wezel Box office at
