Don't You wish We could go back to when this song was made? When everyone was happy, and having fun.

This song should be all played at all family reunions black, white or any other race

My mom's name is Ernestine Chappell and she'll be 84 on Sunday July 7 God gave her another chance to celebrate another birthday God is definitely good no doubt

Today's generation NEEDS this

Most of my family are gone now so I'm waiting on a family reunion in heaven. The 60s - 90s were great decades to grow up or be a young adult. 💖

Every Black family reunion song played this at the Barbecue, Birthday parties etc.. New to some old to us we always loved this beautiful song ❤❤❤❤..

There is nothing more important than your family and friends, gather on special occasion, with this song playing, singing, dancing eating all your favorite foods, remembering all those who have pass on.

Black family reunions or gathering wouldn't be the same without this song. Family, Love, and fun.

Going back home this weekend after being gone for a long time. My grandparents and parents passed away before I was nine years old. It’s going to be painful, but beautiful. I am a very strong man, but I can’t stop the tears from flowing. GOD is amazing, and that is a understatement

We just buried my oldest brother Saturday and our mother just two years ago. This song really hits home. Love your family because you never know when they’ll be gone 🙏🏿

This song always always makes me feel happy and sad all at once 😂♥️

Straight black folks shit!!! Makes me cry remembering this song on in the 1980s in Compton Ca dressed up nice BBQ smelling up the air, kids playing getting to no each other and just that good ole black folks chilling dranking and choking on some good good!! Just a peaceful day

This song is very relevant for what's happening in our world right now. But I say to everyone love your family now.dont wait until they take their last breath we must understand people make the world go around.

Nothing touches the heart and spirit like this classic. Try to get through the entire song without tearing up. I dare you. 💔🙏🏾✨️

I won't lie. Everytime I listen to this and Eddie Levert hits the "Oooh Oooh Oooooooh Oooh Wooo", I lose it. Straight bawlin' my eyes out. This song reminds me of the family I love, but not close to.

I love this song. Family is always important.

This song played on “repeat” at my aunts funeral back in 2015. Makes me cry and smile all at the same time. MAN I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE THIS SONG. R.I.P Auntie

My mom passed this pass December'21...God! how I feel so empty without her. I listen to this song often and I think how nice it would be if my family would get together and I think about my Mom how she loved all of us together .

I'm Japanese. My grandfather died in this March, then I often listened to this song, so it's very impressive and special for me...

This song never gets old, and played at every reunion ❤

I was taught by my Mama that family is all we have to forgive and moved on 🥲 don’t wait until it to late 🥰❤️💞💜

This song makes me realize how sad when you start missing pieces of the puzzle and the worst feeling is being alone😢

I played this song on Thanksgiving. This year. This song makes you appreciate your loves ones and their lives ❤ We all have suffered so much loss . 2020 has been brutal !!! Appreciate what you have and who you have left .

The O'Jays Family Reunion is a song that always brings me to tears. I've loved this song since I was a teenager. Now with my Mom fighting her struggles with Dementia, I,know how important family are and love and support to your ailing parent or family member. Thank you O'Jays.

I dedicate this 2 my late grandma & my late grandpa.May u both R.I.H.😰😢😓😥

You will be able to see your loved ones again in Jehovah's Kingdom

I always start crying when I hear this song thinking about all my family members that are no longer with me at this time.God bless them all..

One of my favorite Black family anthems. ❤️

Family are so important. Even though my Mom pass almost three months ago and my Dad passed three years ago it’s been rough, but this song reminds me of our family .

Miss my mother and grandparents.. .

I'm still listening in 2024... this song makes me happy and sad! I miss my family members who have passed away because they were the life of the party!! 😢

As I walk halfway down the staircase, look over at my Madea, it was a very cold 1976. I had lost my first child. Only 15yr old, little girl in the projects. But family everywhere, my uncle always had music, company and fun going on. The love. Madea would cook big pots of food. Lol. Miss these days. Live and learned

This song always bring a tear to my eyes. Thinking about so many family members that have gone before us. May they rest in peace!!

Sure do miss Family Reunions...music playing, the older generation spitting knowledge and wisdom, and everyone dancing, someone always got some spades or dominoes, BBQ, yams, mac n cheese, kids acting up, memories being created...Soon

Jesus I lost two sisters in nine months we gave a family reunion my brother Jr took a picture by me my whole family this song they played now he is no more but he is in my heart thank you

This song makes me happy remembering our family gatherings at the parks every summer. Some times there'd be free performances at Fort Dupont Park. Loved those! And for the 4th of July/cookout we'd gather over one of their houses, a long long time ago. ❤ We had a super large family, and some of our close friends who felt like family always joined us😊 Now "most" of them have gone on to be with the Lord. So I cry and smile inside every time I hear this - remembering! Yall - enjoy your loved-ones now, even those that may be a little challenging. Make the most of their presence. Love on them, laugh, dance and hug them often. We did. A lot! Wish I'd / we'd done it even more. 😢

I'm 64 I grew up in the Bronx I always have my boombox on the stoop listening to the oldies and still listening I love it real deeply❤🌹💞💗🎉

Family Is Everything!

We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. 1 God 1 love 4 Everyone 4 Ever. Much Love Fam

No matter how many times I hear this song I cry wishing my daddy and mama was here

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT "A FAMILY IS"!!!IF HUMANS CAN TREASURE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A "FAMILY" LIFE WOULD HAVE A BETTER MEANING 🔥 This song transforms "THE OJAYS"one of the Best music group ever...just this song...they explain "THE FAMILY"👏

Love this song reminds me of the good old days living in the country

Boy this reminds me of the family reunions,fish frys,cookouts when everybody was still alive me,daddy,grandma sometimes I just look up at the sun and listen to this and think about everybody wish grandma was here.

I'm a MEXICAN from Southern California and we bumped this and believe it was not only a black thing it was for everyone who likes good soul music shout out to all the families who get to still have reunions

That’s WHY IS SOO IMPORTANT FOR US TO TEACH OUR YOUNGER GENERATION TO INSTILL IN THEM THOSE VALUES THAT OUR PARENTS INSTILLED IN US!! PASS IT ON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS !! Time flies !!!!

I grew up listening to this song. My mom, dad, brother, and both sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles gone😥

We need to appreciate family,and if’s there’s any difference,we need to settle it,life is too short,the devil been trying to destroy family from the beginning of time ,look at Cain and Abel ,let’s gather up while we are still here,instead of gathering around a love one just to give our final respect,love your family!!!!!!!!!

I love this song. In the times we living in today family SHOULD come together instead of dividing. Family is very important.

Smh I wish I had a family with much love my circle is small I wish so much to have this ...but hey this is the life I was dealt I lost all my family 😢...there's just a few of us smh ....I just wish I could all of us together to gt a family reunion it's so special..maybe in my next life time

My dad was a great man with such great taste... GIMME BACK MY PAPA

The family is the solution to the problem

This is the epitome of society today. Everyone wants to be the director. We really need to return to old family values.

There's nothing so beautiful like getting together with the ones you love no matter how big or small it's the love that counts coming together 💕

Hello My beautiful Family and Friends love Faith in Jesus 🙏 ❤️

THIS SONG MOST DEFINITELY BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT

It's always good to be with family for a good time and not at a funeral. I love listening to this song, so many memories of my loved ones. This is why I try so hard to keep my family together planning a family reunion every two years. As a child growing up, I never knew what this song was truly about, and now just listening to every single word of it is beautiful and so powerful. I don't know about you guys but my family means the world to me and I love every one of them, regardless of how they live their lives or what they have done in the past my heart is with the LORD, and my Family. To get my point across when the Ojays made this song was heaven-sent. This is the number 1 song @ African American's family reunion

I miss those days when this music was played

My mom is 88years old, she is my rock, this song makes really appreciate her.

We no longer have family reunions since shortly before my mother passed. I do miss those days of togetherness. Times were so much simpler. RIP Momma and all my loved ones that have gone on.

Yeah family is very important, it's really nice to see family, n it's not a funeral or anything sad but real fun and good times.

OLD FOR REAL! THIS HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR YEARS,GENERATION AND GENERATIONS. STILL PLAYING STRONG IN CHICAGO AND ALL ACROSS THE 🌎! WORD!

People that have families left , celebrate while you can !! Need to remember the good times !! Teach what you can to the young so they can keep The family going on for many years to come !!😊

This song is to be played at all family reunions and as a going home song at the grave site. True classic never better said.

Every time I hear this song it makes me cry because my family is gone and we had so much fun and love when we got together

This song is VERY DEAR/CLOSE to me. My parents, grandparents, great grandparents and further back, are all apart of ME!

I recall precisely where I was when this song (album) was released in 1975. It is as powerfil today as it was then. That's the definition of timeless.

I'm 38 but I love the older beautiful inspired Music 🎶

This song makes me wanna say a little prayer thanks mighty O Jays.

If we all as people could do what the O'Jays said in this song, the qorld wpuld be a great place.

This song right here, is our family anthem at our family reunion

This is a beautiful song and so much better then what is out now

This song means so much to the black community, we play this at every picnic, get together, family reunion, adversaries, funerals, happy birthdays and any occasion that includes family. This song makes you go through so many emotions laughter, sad, glad and mad, but it always brings you back to a smile at the end. Thanks OJays for a meaningful song that has so much history..... 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
