LOVE THEM! They sound even better live. I saw them in an outdoor concert about 20 years ago. I was right in front near the speakers and got my ear blown out. Couldn't hear out of that ear for many months, but it was so worth it.
Sad to her my Players ended up broke after making all that good music. They cut the "Fire" album in 9 days. These days it takes a so called artist 12 months to cut a CD. Can't blame the kids today for sampling because if the "MAN" doesn't take free music classes out of the public school systems, the entire music business would have been owned by brothers.
i PERSONALLY EXPERIENCE THE BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENTS. ME , AND MY 3 SISTERS SEEN A LOT OF ASS WHOPPING BACK IN THE DAY. I LOST MY INNOCENT ON THE HONEY ALBUM. SWEET STICKY THING. DID NOT REALIZE I WOULDNT RECIEVE THE FEELING UNTIL THE 90'S. AND ONCE I DID.................
This was yesterday's Prozac, then came POP. We all had SOUl withdrawals. We had generic soul, with samples, loops, tweaking, robbing and fiddling. A wank, in other words. We never got the real thing. These people did. They freebased sex and soul off their speakers. They were REAL. You know, like James Brown, Sam and Dave, Otis...right up into your bloodstream. Now, who they coo? Not me. I just listen to this, and I'm coochied to my woman smoking weed and wishing for MTV to die a painful demise.
im 65 baby,and the ohio players was one of my old white mans groving groups,earth wind@fire,sylvester,hanilton bohannon,and more.theres musicians,wheres musicians now,oh theres none.
This was the best time of my life! The 70's when parties were parties....weed was weed (lol) and we all just LOVED each other! Thank God I was a teenager in the 70's
IM SOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I LIVED THROUGH THE SEVENTIES ,I WAS 17 IN 76,GOOD LOOKIN,IN SHAPE,I WAS 6.2 AND WHEN I PUT MY PLATFORMS ON I WAS A BIG-ASS MUTHUFUCKA...PLUS I COULD DANCE SO I GOT TONS OF PUSSY.THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE...IM WHITE BUT I HAD SOME FINE ASS BLACK GIRLFRIENDS....AND THE BRUTHUS HATED IT...AND I MEAN FINE ASS BLACK CHICKS...OH MY GOODNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Group is still going strong. Sugarfoot the drummer does not play the drums anymore and does a lot of the vocals. I say them in Portland a year ago during Terell Brandons New Years party. Damm did they sound good
Today you won’t even accidently stubble up on any music like this…and the horns!!! Man you pull out a trumpet or a sax today, most folks would run out of the room afraid because they won’t have a clue that it’s a harmless musical instrument…huh? What’s an instrument…so sad!!!
one of the best funk drummers ever. man does this make me miss my childhood. the early/mid 70s were unmatched for great funk: sly, kook, awb, ohio players...so many great bands.

Love the horns and that guitar and the bass. Love it all. That's what I'm talking about real musicians, playing real instruments and folks who can sing and harmonize. What happened to that kind of music?
Right up there with sly, james brown and george clinton in there prime these brothers had no equal !!! Thanks for the post this is to funky for words.
man,this was a stone cold jam back in tha day,my dad used to have the original album then. i'd always look at their album covers in amazement. half naked women on them, and some kickin' songs to back it up!!!
@toygnisht His name is James Williams...not David. LOL Oh, if you have heard anything on what Marvin Merv Pierce is doing then let me know. LOL Merv is the tallest middle man with the horn.
@eyeremeber No, you mean Clearence "Satch" Satchell the sax player and Peewee Middlebrick have passed. I was told that Marvin "Merv" Pierce have became a business web designer. In addition, I have watch unsung twice and they did not mention Merv.
*laughing*....Somebody is gonna request that I be barred from YouTube..but here I go again. My friends and I were all 13 and 14 when this song was out. Our voices were deepening. When we would try to sing the high notes on this song our voices would crack and we would crack up laughing! Great post!!
I remember watching the LP spin around on the turn table and jamming to every note. Summer Block parties....no body was getting hurt. OhYea...for Reallll
Funk just dosen't get better than this one! If your bones can sit still during this one, you're dead! And, I'm WHITE too! lolol But the girlfriend's got some rhythum!
