  • we just celebrated our 50th year family reunion....wow we play this song all day sometimes....boy I miss those that have gone on when I hear this song. God made families so stick by your family no matter what...God makes no mistakes. For every child born there is a reason. If you turn your back on your family then you are turning your back on God our creator and His Son Christ Jesus.

  • cool always

    

  • Music like this always feels me with love.........GOD BLESS THE O'JAYS.

  • @DTA550 Love On!

  • You are the family, If you know how a family is suppose to be. Put your foot down and play the role until death due you part. Then, you go out as a model of what a family should be. And, if you could inspire all those you leave behind to be family, you did what you were suppose to do.

  • I Love this song REMINDS me of my Mommie when she use to listen to it when I was little she would be singing it around the house

  • @sheshe5166 Great song to clean by.

  • @LANNYSIZZLE13. I know the feeling. It sucks. Hard to say goodbye.

  • perfect song for this family slideshow im doing :D

  • @ShayCS @ShayCS The O'jays were instrumental in making a lot of family reunions special. Send me a slide when you hook it up. I enjoy using animoto.com the free version, is good.

  • Cade/Mckinney family love always.

  • @lannysizzle13 10-4 good buddy, over and never out.

  • Damn this song makes me miss the old days. I had the old school family when I was a kid my elders would make me and brother,sisters,and cousins dance. I will also remember the big family debates God I miss my family.

  • @lannysizzle13 Congratulations in advance..

  • @lannysizzle13 Just hold tight, we'll all meet again. It's written.

  • In response to (thetiff2010) this is absolutely classic song but unforyunately that family thing is a fascade for most people

  • @MrSteven2945 I can feel you on that. Many families living in the same city, rarely see each other or communicate. Not as many Family dinners during the holiday season. Every body's doing their do.

  • Family is SO important...If you cant depend on family, then who can you depend on? I love my whole family, loud, crazy, annoying...Everything! I might even get along with my 12 year old niece for this...Lol. Im 19 soon to be 20, in case you were wondering. lol!

  • Dang man! We aint had a family reunion in a while...A few have passed on, a few have been added. But I love my family and Im gonna start preparing our family reunion for spr/sum 12' and start contactin my out of state family so we can get thang in motion.

  • THE  WASHINGTON FAMILY FROM CALI

  • Im 18 and I love the old jams it have meaning to it , its way better than the songs out now ...But I loveee this song :) although I never went to ah Family reunion .

  • @kennishaMarkel16 You have to experience a family Reunion of kin folks from near and far getting together on one accord. Good Times! You may be surprised to see a good looking cousin, whom you had no idea that you were related, until you are introduced Kennisha you have to experience the love in the air at a cool Family Reunion.. If you need assistance conducting a family reunion, let us know.

  • @kennishaMarkrke16 WOW ! I am glad to hear your response about Old School music. You said it all when you stated that " IT HAS MEANING ". (SMILE) I grew up in the 70's and there are songs now that can put me at a time when all things were innocent, fun, bad. There was a song for everything that happened, Love, Breakups, Job, Marriage, Pregnancy, War, and even one about a DOG. LOL. Listen to a song by the OJays called Brandy. It is about a dog. ...... God Bless.

  • @kennishaMarkel16 .... I would also challenge you to promote your own family reunion. Use all the resources you can. Aunts, Uncles, cousins. It is very important to know your family, both past and present, no matter how loving or crazy they are. LOL Trust me .... It will be great. My family is so large , I could not go to the prom because all the girls in my town were my cousins. LOLOL ..... God Bless.

  • when i here this song make think about the family that gone with god now! bring the good the bad of the family that i truly love and care for. bring tear to my eye!!

  • @minor1able Hold on tight for that glorious day when we all meet again. Oh happy days.

  • The 3 people who don't like this song must have family problems.

  • My nephew DJ'ed our Hollins Family Reunion last Saturday and played this classic song. Those old enough to remember this song couldn't hold bacl the tears. I don't think there was a dry eye among them. It had been years and years since we got together. We have a large family and the thing is this, we are all direct descendants of one couple. WOW!

  • @edwardhollins That is awesome.

  • I Just had my Family Reunion this Past Saturday!!! and we all had a Blast !!!!

    Until a Rainstorm and Tornado came Through and Wiped out are Family Reunion But we had fun for only the few Hours we had Together !!!

  • It's too bad MY family isn't like this.. I was the "middle" child.. of 3... my sis was youngest... I was teased by my brother and my cousin (they hung 2gether)... and 2 this day... my brother and I do not speak and lvie near one another... the wound is simply too deep. Alas, Brothers & Sisters don't make the same mistake! Love one another from the cradle to the grave!

  • my family is HUGE on both sides..i see my dad's side regularly but my mom's side is so spread out...they meet every 2 years...i haven't been to the last couple reunions...but this weekend they're coming to my house..YAY

  • Nothing like a family reunion,missed both sets of grandparents

  • @Camaran1997 Hold on tight, until we meet again. Caught up in the sky. Now that will be a wonderful Family reunion.

  • @itsmeyawl AMEN!! IM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS START!

    AND WE SHALL SEE JESUS!

  • @719police Oh happy days.

    

  • We had the Dj to play this song during my Mom's BIrthday bash in March of this year. It really felt good to be surrounded by family and friends among us. People were saying that it really felt like a "Family Reunion." Love this song and most of all LOVE the Mighty O'jays even more. This song NEVER EVER gets old no matter what.

  • I love this song

  • I've used this classic at the start of the sit down dinner to get everyone in the mindset of a joyful time. And at the end to get people talking with such great music providing the backdrop.

  • @amd77j This is a national anthem for many. Peace Out!

  • I just found out about my dad's side of the family, and boy is it HUGE!!! I can actually appreciate this song now, after loving it for oh so many years. Now I can't wait to meet all of my siblings and family members!!!

  • @imamrree It's so cool to plan and direct the interaction of the family gathering and signal the d j when to play this magnificent work of art. How about forming your own O'jay's, or pass the mike around? Don't forget to have the lyrics printed on the program. Or what wold be really cool, is to have the lyrics on the big screen. Any other ideas yawl?

  • I can't help but cry when I hear this song, my sister, father and all the nieces and nephews and grandchildren that they will never see just brings tears to my eyes. I love my family.

  • I JUST LOVED THIS SONG IT REALLY DO TOUCH THE HEART AND BRING BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES GOD I MISS U MOTHER ( MY GRANDMOTHER) SHE WAS THE ROCK OF OUR FAMILY

  • @GreedDog How about those Christmas Dinners.

  • As I sat here listening to this song, my heart just aches. The last time I heard this song, my sisters and I had taken our Mother out after a birthday celebration for my Father(then divorced from my Mother). The DJ that night dedicated this to my family. With my Mother in the middle of the dance floor, all eight of her daughters surrounded her. We danced and cheered Mom on. Mother has since passed, but her memories will forever fill my heart. Love you Mom, RIP

  • @dcmoor513 We'll all meet again it's written. Oh what a glorious day it will be.

  • The one and only family reunion song!!

  • @Zoniqueful How sweet it is.

  • Went to a concert in Memphis in 75 to see the Commodores and Lionel . The crowd was mainly black and I am white.Trouble was the Ojays was leadin band and they brought the house down. I didnt know about them . Family Reunion had the place rockin. They stole the Commodore's thunder that night. Never forget the Mighty Ojays.

  • I can't wait until the 1st family barbecue in about a month, this will definitely be playing.

  • This song makes me cry everytime I hear it.

  • @prayupblessings We will all meet again, it's written. Cry tears of joy.

  • This song is the theme song of our family reunions, after the completions of the 3 day reunion we always sang this song. We started singing it back in the 70’s in Inverness Mississippi and to this date as we meet in different locations all over the country we still sing this song. Very powerful words that hold true to family. Keep your family strong.

  • Our family reunions are every 2 years on my father's side. I always enjoy seeing, meeting, and greeting family member I have never met, heard of, or just saw in pictures. But the best part of my reunions is seeing my dad. July 2011 will be the 1st reunion without him.....He died Sept. 10, 2010 @ 63 yrs of age... I don't know what I'm gonna do without him there.... Dad, you are missed so much... I will always love you. It's just not the same without him...... I love you Tommy Lee Smith Sr.
