The O'Jays - Sing A Happy Song (Philadelphia Intern. Records 1979) video free download

"Sing A Happy Song" is a song written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff with arrangements by John L. Usry, Jr.

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 -- May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles. The O'Jays made their first chart appearance with "Lonely Drifter" in 1963, but reached their greatest level of success once Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters, signed them to their Philadelphia International label in 1972. With Gamble & Huff, the O'Jays (now a trio after the departure of Isles and Massey) emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with "Back Stabbers" (1972), and topped the Billboard Hot 100 the following year with "Love Train". Numerous other hits followed through the 1970s and into the 80s and 90s, and The O'Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

Sing a happy song, sing a happy song

Why don't you sing along, sing a happy song?

You don't have to dance, sing a happy song

Come on, clap your hands, sing a happy song

Music's good for your soul

It can bring a real good feelin'

Good for the young and old

Brighten up the darkest day, oh

It can be your release

It can supply you with peace

Some peace of mind

Why don't you

Sing a happy song, sing a happy song?

(Sing)

Come on, sing along, sing a happy song

(Why don't you?)

Why don't you dance awhile, sing a happy song?

(Dance, dance)

Come on, get involved, sing a happy song

Can't you feel, feel the beat?

Go ahead and pat your feet and

Let the rhythm take control

Move your body from side to side, oh

If you are feelin' down

Tune right into the sound

The sound of music

Why don't you

Sing a happy song, sing a happy song?

(Come on, chase all away)

Chase all your blues away, sing a happy song

'Cause it's easy, so easy to do

All I can do sing it loud and hearty

Well, come on everybody let's get down and party

(Sing)

Sing a happy song, sing a happy song

Come on, sing along, sing a happy song

(Everybody now)
