I think that like other groups [[you may know what I mean) that because Eddie and Walter had become the "sound" of the O'Jays, they were given all of the leads and they were written specifically for them.

Now if either of them ever left the group and the O'jays continued on. The new singer would have to learn all of the leads that would be left vacated similar to what's happened to the Tempts and Tops over the years.
