A #1 song for The O'Jays on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 263d #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Top 40 charts and #9 in the United Kingdom.
spring of 1976,,,about to graduate highschool..the dj's from the local radio station played this at a school dance..the kids formed a conga line., and I was standing on the side as usual..one of my classmates grabbed me by the hand, and I got in the line..I felt so free and happy, and realized this is how high school should have been. What a great memory.,
God be with Herman Cain...if we can't win this election against the evil Obama, we will lose our freedoms forever! I remember this song as I was very young and never in all my born days would I have believed such horrible things would be happening now...we need a love train!
@Marksnotebook Shut the fuck up with that right wing bullshit...Cain is an idiot and a uselsee uncle tom..He should have remembered God when he was harassing those white women....Just tell him to deliver the pizzas on time...
@freein2339 Cain's business success and higher education in mathematics prove he's no idiot, being accused of sexual harassment is not necessarily the same as committing sexual harassment, and "uncle tom" is just a word used by liberal racists against anyone of color who dares to disagree with them.
@freein2339 He insulted the 90-95% of blacks who reflexively vote for the Democrats, which somehow compelled you to use the racist term "uncle tom" to refer to the 5-10% of blacks like him who exhibit more independent thought.
@DeadlyRamon Why insult 95% of the very people that you are trying to get to vote for you..??..Only an idiot would do that stupid shit..AND..Ger-man...I mean Herman Cain also insulted Hispanics...Maybe that's another reason why the old guard GOP got his dumb ass out of the race...
@freein2339 He was challenging blacks to stray from Democratic Party hegemony. To say that conservative black opinion doesn't matter because only 5% of blacks voted for McCain is like saying that blacks in general don't matter because they're only 11% of the USA population, which incidentally would be higher if legalized abortion didn't inordinately affect the black population. Considering that 70% of blacks in California supported Proposition 8, there should be more than 5% voting Republican.
this my wifes song .We were both 17 in 1975 .iT was playing at a ouse party in a loft .We were trying to make out in a bedroom .She remembers alot of fumbling around and this song . kept on playing. Wow 35years where did it go.
Right on! What an exuberant, joyous song. I always liked it--was a boy when it was released and charted--but never stopped to think about it until the O'Jay's performance of the song at the Sanity Rally. Those men were in a zone when they made this song. Really wondrous.
@laidyeh Never knew it either til one day I was watching a Music Special & the O JAYS completely dedicated this song to Jesus,making reference that he is the Train- LOVE TRAIN! Found out it's Gospel 'bout 4 years ago! People round the world--JOIN HANDS! Don't you know that it's time to get on board?
You don't need no money to get on board! IF YOU MISS THIS TRAIN I FEEL SORRY SORRY FOR YOU! I LOVE THIS SONG MORE & MORE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I NOW WHAT IT MEANS! THANK YOU,JESUS;GOD BLESS 'EM!
Its really amazing to see how theyve changed since their appearance on Soul Train. They still sound as good as they did back then. A little more deeper in the voice though XD
I've been looking for this video since I accidentally erased this from my DVR! I knew it was on Letterman on Valentine's Day a couple of years ago. This is DYNOMITE!!! THANK YOU! What a RUSH !!!!!
Wow. I loved this group back in the day. What a performance! What a production! Thank you David L. I am only sorry I missed the real show. And, poster, thanks for getting this up. What if everybody joined the Love Train?
@sueponine DON'T NEED NO TICKETS TO GET ON BOARD! EVERYBODY SHOULD JOIN THE LOVE TRAIN! THE O JAYS are talking bout Jesus Christ being the LOVE TRAIN! HALLELUJAH! I only know that because bout 4 years ago, I was watching one of their performances & they made sure everyone knew that the LOVE TRAIN IS JESUS CHRIST! GOD BLESS THE O JAYS! HALLELUJAH!
Pauly TV posted this exact version last year some time. The sadly took it down. I am so happy someone posted this version of the song - Thank You. Paulie Fiore orig version was smokin quality of video & sound. YouTube eventually lowered the quality.
Pauly - Please post this one again. They took some amazing musicians that were in town for the backup, and Letterman spared NO EXPENSE to produce this for us. It is honestly an AMAZING experience to watch
