Since i first heard the Ohio Players (i was maybe 5) I LOVED their music - my Dad played them a lot. The album covers troubled me bit as a young lady, but i would still sneak and play them. I saw them perform a few times as an adult; I wish I had seen them more. Some of their songs are MASTERPIECES of jazz infused funk, and their musicianship was off the charts. Best horn riffs ever, EWF included. They deserve more credit and recognition.

One of my bands (through the years) got to open a show for these guys. The bass player graciously let me use his amp. He seemed genuinely glad to help me out. Their music was tough, world-class, and super funky. Great memory. Sugar blew my mind on guitar. Yeah.

@Igneous773 3 года назад

Every group applied distinctively was artistically phenomenally, and back then, you couldn’t get in the studio without measure of talent.

@frankfroml.a.4104 3 года назад

The Ohio Players were in a league all by themselves. Especially when James "Diamond" Williams (their sensational drummer- man listen to that foot drum) joined them and they proceeded in putting together 3 blockbuster albums in a row with "Skin Tight", "Fire", and Honey!" Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner with the double-neck guitar and that slanted fro (not to mention the greatest of funk voices)! These dudes were just simply TOO COOL. No one quite like them. But hey, no mention of "I Want To Be Free!" Come on now - to this day, I never could get enough of that one.

Ohio Players were one of the first funk groups to catch my attention. The album cover images and the heavy sound with true musicianship, it was all good. Whereas PFunk subject material was often fantastical, the Players were speaking on everyday realities. Subsequently, they felt authentic. From "Pain" to "Angel", everything they made was solid. Not much after that, but they left an indelable mark nonetheless.

From 1974 on, The Ohio Players were one of my favorites. I had all of their albums. I was listening to 'Fopp' just yesterday in my car. Now that's a bad ass tune.

Love their music. Of course Fire and Love Rollercoaster is part of my childhood memories.

@roxannemoser 3 года назад

Remember the old myth that a girl was killed on the Rollercoaster and you were supposed to be able to hear it in the song? That rumor sold sooooo many records! I don't know who started it, but if it was a record exec, it was genius.

@@roxannemoser Yes. I was in junior high and that was the big news.

All of this brings a tear to my eye so much hard work so much talent being destroyed because of someone's agreed this is what has happened with Motown with stax with so many rappers today ...FAME, . NOT PAYING YOUR TAXES & PURE GREED... So many talented groups have been affected by setbacks he is very sad for them to lose everything because of it. Despite it all I think that is still a very good thing that the group is still together after all these years still in one form of another putting out good music.

SUGARFOOT was the man and sound of the band no doubt

@SteveAdamsChannel 9 месяцев назад

That comes along with having the right "front man" for your band. Their personality/charisma/talent either propels the band or tanks it! It's hard to believe Sugarfoot wasn't the first front man for them but I am so glad it came to be. He is truly iconic!!
