'Love Train' et al were great Motown music from the O'Jays!

Not Motown; they were on Philadelphia International records and were part of that great “Philly sound” that dominated the R&B charts in the early 70’s. It also included Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, MFSB, and the Three Degrees.

Were Hall and Oats an offshoot of that “Philly sound”?

Three Degrees was one of my favorite groups. A couple of their songs rush strong memories to my mind when they’re played on our oldies station.
