Travelin' at the Speed of Thought is an album by the American R&B group the O'Jays, released in 1977 on Philadelphia International Records.[4][5] Unusual for the time, there had been no advance single release from the album; the only single subsequently issued, "Work on Me", became a #7 R&B hit but failed to reach the pop listings, making this the first O'Jays PIR album without a top 100 pop single. Travelin' at the Speed of Thought peaked at #6 on the R&B chart and reached #27 on the pop chart.[6] The album achieved a gold certification.[7]
In 2004, Travelin' at the Speed of Thought was reissued by Demon Music in the UK in a double package with the O'Jays' previous album, Message in the Music.
