iTunes Review
Ship Ahoy, the O’Jays album that consolidated their superstardom after the world-beating Back Stabbers, is best known for “For the Love of Money” and its lowdown, phased bassline. It’s the album's toughest cut by some measure, but Ship Ahoy’s pursuit of Philly-style message soul hardly ends there. “Put Your Hands Together” is an uptempo jam whose payoff (“And let us pray”) gives a spin to an R&B and rock commonplace. “Now That We Found Love,” a mellow romancer that expands its brief to “spreading it all over the land,” was later a hit in a revved-up version by reggae kings Third World. The most startling moments, however, come with the title track, which places the ruminations of a slave ship’s denizens in the trio’s mouths.

Ship Ahoy...
by dman526I first heard "For The Love of Money" in the backseat of a schoolmates car and I couldn't believe my ears. I used to walk to my cousin's house a mile away to hear that album. Man, the songs on that album: You Got Your Hooks In Me, that was a love song and Now That We Found Love and Dont Call Me Brother. I'd never really heard a song like that. Ship Ahoy took me to an important place. Then of course "Put Your Hands Together" was a booming hit. Then you had 2 cuts that were a bit more minor: People keep Tellin' Me and This Air I breathe (this was the better one). This album is a classic like Superfly and What's Goin' On and Claudine and Innervisions.
