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. 💖
60s -90s were indeed our golden years. We had it all FAMILY, COMMUNITY, WORK, SCHOOLS, CHURCH, and HIGH HOPES
Your Family although Physical Not here are STILL with You and Us.
Tap into the proper frequencies and they will appear.
It's nothing like seeing a BLACK FAMILY come together...💕❤️🤗🙂👍💯

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.

Yes, we must do this. I am going to reach out to family that I have not seen in years. I want us to come together and meet each other again...I need that connection, we all do. Cook, laugh, cry, love....this is so important, I am praying for this.

Black family reunions or gathering wouldn't be the same without this song. Family, Love, and fun.
💕
I agree and sister sledge
Canton, Ohio love, I’m from where they from!!
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
Right on Bruh
Sad😢
Bring it back 😅
You right but everyone else wants to tap into our sh*t with their phoney BS,yet they always hating on US
thats a good memory bruh, thank you.
I love this song. Family is always important.
😀😁😂
Hey I feel you on that so true
In tears
Whether they're blood relatives or not what matters is how they love and care for but the main important thing is what's in their hearts that's where our true soul essence comes from
Yes it takes the family
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 🙏🏿
True
@@michaelsweeney280
Exactly!
Very true!
U are so right
so sorry for your loss
One of my favorite Black family anthems. ❤️
Nothing touches the heart and spirit like this classic. Try to get through the entire song without tearing up. I dare you. 💔🙏🏾✨️
Yesterday, I did not....
Yes!!! It touches the deepest part of my soul! It tears me up all the time💯❤️
I feel ya!
Only those who have SOULS
Amen
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.
It's unfortunate that we don't spend more time with family. We need one another to learn, grow and share love as it was designed by the creator. The young desperately need guidance from the elders. Miss the old days...
𝚁𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝
Singing from the deep depths of the soul .😎
The sun will always remind me of my mom and dad it was one of my dad's favorite song that he rest in peace everytime I hear it I Cry because this was his idea of what family is and that's how I feel some songs just make you cry because it gives you memories and not sad tears they're happy tears that's why I raised my children to have that type of love for each other family is everything Families First if you have a family that loves you you should be so lucky because not everyone does
DITTO
Miss my mother and grandparents.. .
My dad was a great man with such great taste... GIMME BACK MY PAPA
He's in a better place. Plz keep your heads up and stay safe. God has got him.
He's here baby!
Give my my grandparents back 😭
I KNOW THAT FEELIN, I WANT MY MOMMA AND DADDY TOO!!!!!!
Same baby girl 😍💖
Salute To Rudy And Judy l love And Miss Yall So Very Much RIL AND PEACE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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
Wow!!!!! That's a very strong and emotional statement you just made there, but my Brother sometimes God allows certain things to happen in our lives because of a certain Journey he has for us or to reach a certain Blessing, but keep your hands in God's hands my Brother because he won't let you go astray because he loves you so much!!!!!!
Oh
Hope your doing well today brother.
HUGS!!!
@@dennismcfadden9842 woo thats beautiful love that f mike s
My mom passed in 76,but before she was thinking of a family reunion, but never lived to enjoy it.
She still lives because of you, and will be ever present at any reunion you have now, and in the future.
This song makes me realize how sad when you start missing pieces of the puzzle and the worst feeling is being alone😢
Blessings
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.
Love this song reminds me of the good old days living in the country
Yes
This is a beautiful song that you take your mind to any time in your life. You can laugh, you can cry. And then again you can just be satisfied

I was taught by my Mama that family is all we have to forgive and moved on 🥲 don’t wait until it to late 🥰❤️💞💜
I've love this song always about the grand partners
@@jessepender45 my mom was a bitch
Nah, my piece of mind is more important!!! ❤❤
To not forgive and move on? You okay?@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn
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.
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 !!!!
This song is so deep,and relevant. Definitely makes me miss my family!!!!
U right
We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. 1 God 1 love 4 Everyone 4 Ever. Much Love Fam

2o21 June 2o I'm sorry once again may God bless you amen
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 .
When music was music! This arrangement thumbs up
Exactly
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. 😢
My feelings exactly....❤️
Family is very important. To spend time with one another. Family Reunion.
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"👏
I love this song and family is so important
Girl you are so beautiful 😇😘😍🥰

THIS SONG MOST DEFINITELY BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT
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.
WORD and there's all different groups at the family reunion but WE all be family even if you are not related you family that day,even white folks and WE could black panther party and Black people in America are the only ones who do that
If you have any family let them know you love them because tomorrow is not promise to none of us especially what we going through in 2020 .
Amen

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

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 praying for you and your family I lost my mom on Mother's Day 2004 I still cry all the time I'm crying now God bless you
My mom passed Mar 1, 2001 my heart broke the night she passed and love just seem to have gone ,until I started to remember the things she taught me about keeping family and good friends close God bless her for all she taught us
Óo

My mother passed in 2018 i love this song.I know God is with us and love each other as family
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!!
Hopefully we can get back to family reunions. I will make sure I won't miss them .
You are so right Billy! I won't miss mine either. Covid has made me look at my family in a new light!! I miss all of them especially during the holidays!!
Happy new year
It reminds me of so many beautiful weekends at my Grandparents with relatives
I know exactly what you mean. Black families were so close back then. Your neighbors were family. The cookouts, basement parties.....What in the world happened? 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
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
(Exactly)!! I remember them. much love to you!
@@easygoing6397 yes definitely!!!
Yes sure do miss those times but the ones that have the reunions are either to old now or deceased. The generations now just not in to it but it needs to be carried on so family can get to no one another 🤩👁️😂🥳🎉🥰😎💞🤗🖐️🎶
@@sandrareese15 Yes that's so true.
We need to start it back up
This is my favorite song Family over Everything Good or Bad They will always be FAMILY i am still listening to this in 2024
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.
Indeedy fam. We hitting it. And its groovy baby!!
@@rickygee9094 you are so right things aren’t what they use to be I remember when I was a young boy and my grandma would trow a Christmas party and everybody exchanged gifts every year she would plan the family reunion all that but when she died and family done went left it’s a mess we can’t agree with each other on the simples stuff.

My mom is 88years old, she is my rock, this song makes really appreciate her.
No matter how many times I hear this song I cry wishing my daddy and mama was here
Me too Bro
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!!!!!!!!!
One of the best songs ever! Miss you Coghland T. Abraham (aka Abe)!
You will be able to see your loved ones again in Jehovah's Kingdom
My family are jehovah witnesses as well ❤
This song makes me wanna say a little prayer thanks mighty O Jays.
This Is
LIFE! BLESSINGS & WORDS FROM GOD! ❤
Famiy! All the family together! wish grandma was here I sure miss her face!😭
It’ll be nice to come to gather with the family reunion just like this song
I love this song. In the times we living in today family SHOULD come together instead of dividing. Family is very important.
