Supplanting the first ESSENTIAL O'JAYS collection (a single disc limited to the 1970s), this edition is a two-disc set that covers the full breadth of the R&B legends' career. From early tunes such as the doo wop-tinged "Lonely Drifter" through '70s soul classics like "Back Stabbers," on through to latter-day hits such as 1987 chart-topper "Lovin' You," this collection offers a comprehensive accounting of the O'Jays' life in music.
