It is my prayer that you receive this note before Saturday, May 12, 2012. I will be taking my father, Charlie to see you perform for the 3rd time at Paragon Casino. My Dad is aging and rapidly declining in health, but when I told him about you performing soon...his eyes literally sparkled and I saw his steps increase in pace and rhythm. Realizing that he would be seeing you once again--he pulled out the old records and has been trying to dance again. Thank you for allowing me another chance to create special memories with him. If it's not too much trouble, could you please acknowledge him? His name is Charlie Bailey, Jr. sbailey P.S. I will be happy to see you all again also.

Saw the band tonight in Las Vegas. Eddie LaVert complained that we weren't past the racism of the past because of criticism of President Obama. Yet Eddie refused to introduce the white members of his band, calling them "the white folks" after introducing all the black members of the band. Maybe he is right about racism, after all.

I have been watching one of your live performances of Love Train on youtube and I have to say that Eric is one of the best looking men I have ever seen!!! I love listening to your music!! Wish you could come to Minnesota sometime!! Would love to see you in person!!!

We are patiently waiting for you guys to come back to ATL (hotlanta) The best ever concert was when you came with The Whipers and the Manhattans; the OJays turned out, standing ovation. It's been too long. We need the O'Jays back in ATLANTA ASAP.

Oh man you guys were so badddddddddddddd at St. Petersburg.Fl. What a show. I cried some, laugh and dance. Just had a good time. What a show. Thank you. Just wish I had the chance to talk with you guys. Met you back in Canton for your 25th annivarsay.You and my mom had attended high school together and you know her real well if I tell you her name. But once again thanks for a good show.

Coming to see the O'Jays in St. Petersburg. Fl on 1/12/12. My homeboys. This is the second time seeing them in concert. The first time was for their 25st annvirsary back in Canton, Ohio. What a wonderful show. Hey Eddie not sure if you guys remember me but you and my mom and gone to high school together in Canton. Can't wait to see you guys again.Hope you remember me.

Say it ain't so, noooooooooooooooooooooo the o'jays retiring.I look forward to going to your concerts in cali every year. Eddie I wanna buy ur cd babe!

Hey Maurice, This sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I have never been disappointed at the ojays show! What did you expect to to pay to ring in the new years with one of the best singing groups still out there Keep up the good work Pops & Walt and Eric I love your music and shows.

New Years Eve......Chicago 2011.....worse concert I have EVER seen in my life. Auhhhhhh.....O'Jays.......IHolding the title of living legends does not warrant you guys just showing up, putting in an hour concert and being on your way. I bought $250 in tickets to hear you sing your hits, not to listen to you guys complain...."where is everybody.........don't they know the O'Jays are still the shit" (Eddie Levert quote). Focusing on those in attendance would have been smarter rather than putting a negative twist on what should have been a feative New Year celebration. These guys are soooo full of themselves!! Now I know first hand why the attendance was low. Expect smaller crowds when you return to Chicago. I guarantee the wife and I will not be in attendance After such a horrible concert I hit the Internet to see if it was just my wife and myself that felt this way.......nope!!! It appears dozens of people think your concerts suck!!! Continue to prance around living off your deeds of the past and you may find it difficult to sell out a medium size McDonalds.

I'M COMING TO SEE YOU IN ST PETERSBURG ON MY BIRTHDAY IN JANUARY. YOU WILL NOTICE ME BECAUSE I WILL BE DANCING AND SINGING RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU. YOUR MUSIC AND TALENTS RANK AMONG THE BEST EVER! ANY CHANCE OF SEEING YOU BACKSTAGE?

Merry Christmas! This time of the year is a great time to reflect on our family and friendships. It's the perfect time to catch up and get synced with our loved ones as well! Eddie Levert , Walter Williams and Eric Nolan Grant.

I saw Eric for the first time on the BET awards and I swear he was the finest man that I have ever seen in my life. I think about the man so much that I have even had dreams about him, omg i would do anything just for one chance to meet him and give him a hug

I have appreciated your talents for decades. In that time attended most of your Indianapolis appearances. I have never been disappointed. I look forward to the next time you visit Naptown.

OJAYS when are you guys coming to Louisville, Ky again? Miss hearing real music. I have been following you guys since 68, remember those days and 73,74, 76. The days of Listen To The Clock On The Wall, Ship O'Hoy. Long time since I saw you guys. You blew them away on BET Awards. I see you guys are coming to Kentucky in October. Why not Louisville?. My wife and I love you guys. Walter she loves you. I think you are the smoothes crooner man. Eddie you are the muscle of the group. Bless you guys and keep the faith Eddie. Keep it going fellows.

Eddie, It was great meeting you after your show, MGM Theatre, Foxwoods on July 18th, 2009. WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!. It was wonderful to reminisce and remember the old times. We enjoyed our conversation with you...nice to know that you're such a nice, sincere, and "regular guy," even though you're such a superstar. Please stay in touch, visit when you're in Boston. Lots o' love, Manny & Sheila. msantos2@comcast.net

I watched the BET Awards, and I just have to say that you schooled those young acts in how it's supposed to done. You make it look easy, when we all know it takes years of practice to be that smooth and that professional. And more importantly, you can actually SING! That's an art that these young acts never bother to master. Thank you for your years of dedication to your craft and your amazing talent.

My brother in law is a true fan of yours. He has gone on and on about Ship Ahoy routine you all did with white suite dresses like slaves. If you all have that video anywhere please let me know so I can purchase the video for him.

Thank you for your support

The show was canceled by the promoter

So sick.... Large group purchased Tickets for Chicago (Northerly Island Event) 7-24-2009 Show Cancelled! Please EXPLAIN Rescheduled????

I watched the Bet Awards recently. Got a chance to really see the new member Eric Grant perform along with the other members. Good Job Eric!:) I think you made a wise choice, or shall I say the Ojays made a wise choice, asking you to perform with the group.. Have a Blessed one Eric.
