I had the pleasure of seeing this tour concert @ Radio City Music Hall and it was there that I realized the full power of Eddie Levert's leadership! The albulm 5-star all the way but listen to the 'sleepers'= "This Air I Breathe", my favorite- "People Keep Tellin' Me" and the one i downloaded into my 'soundtrack' - "You Got Your Hooks In Me"! Ship Ahoy!!!
Soul Classic

Although their previous album containing the classic Backstabbers brought them worldwide recognition, this is the album that put The O'Jays on the musical map. Not only does it contain not one, but two soul classics (For The Love Of Money and You Got Your Hooks In Me), but the hits keep coming with Put Your Hands Together & the original version of Now That We Found Love, which was later a worldwide hit for Third World. The O'Jays, along with songwriter/producers Gamble & Huff also easily prove that they can handle socially concious songs like Ship Ahoy & Don't Call Me Brother as well as the classic Norman Whitfield productions for The Temptations.
Another Classic Album By the O'Jays

"Ship Ahoy" is a fine follow up to 'Back Stabbers". This CD is an excellent mix of message songs (Put Your Hands Together, For the Love of Money, Don't Call Me Brother, This Air I Breathe, and the haunting Ship Ahoy) with seductive slow jams (You Got Your Hooks In Me, Now That We Found Love). "For the Love of Money" is one of the funkiest jams of all-time and "Put Your Hands Together" was a Soul Train dance line favorite. "You Got Your Hooks In Me" has become a quiet storm classic. "Ship Ahoy" is definitely a terrific album and a fine example of Philly soul at its peak.
