The Mighty O’Jays stormed through Atlanta, Georgia to receive their 2011 Legends Award in great fashion. As one of the; if not THE longest performing group in music history at 53 years and counting, Eddie Levert; Walter Williams; and Eric Grant hit the Woodruff Arts Center: Atlanta Symphony Hall stage and set it afire!

Sponsored by the National Black Arts Festival, the group celebrated over 50 years of great music with their fans, their peers, and their loved ones. Hailing from Canton, Ohio; the O’Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Although they’ve had 5 past members, Eddie and Walter have known each other since early childhood and are still going strong.

The O’Jays are responsible for hits such as: Back Stabbers, Love Train, Family Reunion, Used to be my Girl, For the Love of Money, Give the People What they Want, I Love Music, Living For the Weekend, Message in Our Music; Stairway to Heaven, Forever Mine, and my all-time favorite: Darlin Darlin Baby (Sweet Tender Love). Oh, and this is just a few.

On Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Alja Jackson held her private listening session at Soul Asylum Studios in Atlanta, Georgia for her new album, Stilettos & Steel. The drop (on her own imprint: LEFTFIELD PRODUCTIONS) is a mixture of hard hitting hip-hop joints, smooth ballads, and some pop appeal. It’s like a Gumbo. On this release, Alja wrote, produced, engineered, composed, etc. She just had her hands all in the pot, and we like it like that… Do your thing Alja “The Prettiest Girl” Jackson. Oh, that’s MISS JACKSON; if you nasty…
