I think the reason all these kids always say there age is because they're looking for recognition, they don't have friends that they can share and enjoy the music with so they look to the youtube community. but yea no one cares about your age, all we care about is the Funk!
Trust me, kids do deserve a pat on the back if they groove at home to this shit because if I showed this to most of my friends they'd probably make fun of it or call it gay. Give credit where credit is due to the younger generation standing up for soul and funk!
Oh that phrase about a "gift horse..." goes back to the 5th century. So I'm not saying anything new. "Noli equi dentes inspicere donati" It was St. Jerome's Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians. Got this information from the 'Urban Dictionary.' These 'young people' whether we like it or not, are our future and today's present! More power to them and God bless!
Personally I think it's a beautiful thing, a very beautiful thing indeed when younger people can express how much they enjoy our music which in many cases may be older then them. Give them a break! If they were complaining about it then you would have something negative to say!!! Unbelievable. I think it's awesome that they have the range of being able to appreciate not just their own music, but can also see the value in ours. Don't look a gift horse in it's mouth!!!
@vidaa82 Stop your moaning you old git !! You're just annoyed cuz your bits have gone all leathery and you cant tap your foot to the beat cuz yer in-growing toenail hurts like a bitch. It's great to hear someone who's 12 say that they love 70's funk, it just proves that good music is timeless, but people get old and miserable. Now stop cryin', make a mug of cocoa and fuck off to bed ......dont forget to put the cat out, take your teeth out and take your pills for gout !
Hi any one need there feet read? Jus't put your feet in front of the camera for 1 minute you can make it unlisted if you don't want no one to see it on your channel send me the link in my inbox
why do people have such a huge problem with kids stating that they like good music? I much prefer them coming on here saying they like this then go to a modern day top 40 video and trying to say its good cause that would be a lie!
This is in response to vidaa82 comment about young people, first let me say when you criticize some one first spell correctly, its comment on not " come on". as far as young people commenting on songs before their time, music has no age limit and although this music is in my time erra. My son has introduced me to music from my time that I never heard, thats how you know someone is really into music and music never dies no matter what time zone its from. dont hate appreciate theur passion.
@deedee2439 Wow, you just made yourself look stupid. @vidaa82 was saying when they COME ON A VIDEO as in COME UPON A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. You should have understood that you're an adult right? Oh, and it's "their" not "theur". :-)
DAMN! It has been ages! I loaded up a bunch of old funk for my iPod Classic, including a bunch of Ohio Players. How in the hell did I forget about this gem? I'm havin' flashbacks of "Soul Train" on Saturdays afternoon and blue light parties on Saturday night!
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyt! This is what was up back in the day. Brought bout my first thoughts of sexuality when I was young. Raunchy, gully, funky....naw mean! Hits the soul right at the core!
I'm 22 years old, wen i was 6 n '95 my dad had their albums on cassette & i used to listen to muzik all day n his ride..... Muzik ain't da same anymore.......
why do young people always gotta come on a video of an older song and tell their age and talk abt how much they appreciate the song and all older songs. just enjoy the music. u dont have to try to get a pat on the back for loving songs b4 your time cuz you're young.
@Bigbasssix1972 Nah, that aint right... educate these youngsters instead of dissing them. Embrace them and let em know we see that some of them know how to appreciate what's good. C'mon 72, lets help keep em on the right track, or the garbage will continue to raise them...
@vidaa82 Let them express themselves... It could be worse, but they right here with you and me appreciating what they never had. I understand exactly why they do it, they're just letting us know that they get it. Too many of them don't, and for that they do deserve a pat on the back!
yeah i see what u sayin. dont u get sick of seeing ppl talkin abt their age tho? i love to see everyone post and mention their love for an old classic but EVERYBODY from this generation has to come post their age and it just gets repititive.
@vidaa82 because they feel as tho the older folks thikn we dont respect the music of past and we are trying to show there are some of us who love this music no matter what rapper talking about killing someone or selling crack its a matter of us trying to show respect
Nah, I just posted that for all the "sample haters" out there. Ohio Players was one of the first groups I became aware of, because...as an 8 year old, how could I NOT gravitate towards those album covers?
Ohio players made music that no other artist can compare to. They made their stamp in history, One of the greatest groups of all time in my book. By the way I'm 33 years old.
I love Jay Z and Biggie but even at the age of 24 I know that the musicians of this age only sample from music artists of the 50s 60s 70s and 80s. Why would you even put them up against and compare them to the Ohio Players.
Pure black music is rare today...There is no real challenge with the artist today. A lot of them couldn't even make back in the day..The artist and the band had to be the best because there were so many of them...
Like njblack said about running to the record store? Did just that!!! Still sends a chill up my spine like the first time I heard it!! Ohio Players? Underrated like a motherfucker!!!!
One of my favorite songs by The Ohio Players. Has anyone ever heard Maxwell's version of this song? He performed it live at one of his concerts and he "killed it". Still today, I enjoy listening to every one of their songs including "FUNKY WORM".
@Aquafinabarbie and your momma is 110% on Point !! I told my sons the same exact thing, lol! and they love all it. Big Ups to your mom and you cause this music is pure "Ecstasy" that's why the likes of Jay Z sample so much of it :) Peace
Man, Ya'll growing up in Mississippi when i heard this on the radio back it the day i wanted to continue playing my trumpet in a group like the Players. Back and forth from Mississippi to New Orleans this is all i heard on all the radio stations! Wyld am and fm New Orleans
It was my second semester of architectural school at Howard in DC back in 1973 and all I wanted to hear was straight ahead jazz and jazz fusion until this funky ass tune "Ecstasy" came along and all I wanted to do whenever I heard it was dance. It was too short! There should have been a 12" remix of at least 8 minutes!!!!
The Ohio Players take me back! I was a little girl hanging with my big brothers. They were teenagers but my mom made me go with them just about every where thinking they would behave with me around. All I know is I learned a lot of good songs sitting in the living room waiting! :-) You just can't beat that 70's music!
thats that biggie and jay z shit, one generation of blacks make classic music and the next generation remakes the classic music to a more modern sound, Black Power.
I'm a 38yrs old black man. I've grown up around a WHOLE LOT OF FUNK! (being black in the ghetto helps so please don't be offended).
Anyway, this song is the ABSOLUTELY funkiest song in the world. More than "Fight the Power" by Isley Brothers, "Make my FUnk the P funk" by Parliaiment, more than "DOOKY STICK" by Bootsy Collins, etc. etc. etc.
It's a close first over all songs mentioned and then some!
@navyman4 Dooky Stick was not Bootsy. THink about it Dukey Stick. That was a song by George DUKE. Keyboard player solo, Billy Cobham and Stanley Clarke. That would inclue the songs Reach for It and Son of Reach for It. They all have that Bootsy set up. But they are not by the Boot Man.
the secret behind this jam is the bass that keeps you in a holding pattern for 3 bars then finally lets you land in the next two.. Junies vocals and keyboards dancing in and out of the rhythm
@elquebi I love your comment. I had been analyzing that feel. You are absolutely right. This is the first funk song that is on the 2 for two bars. And then releases on the 3 in the third bar. The 1 never hits. It is implied. That third bar with the Bass on the 3 feels like a 1 but it is not. Very Very bad ass song. Key of D Minor by the way. Same as Soul Power by James Brown and Bootsy.
DAM! NOW THIS IS ECSTASY....MUSIC AND LYRICS....I GOT THIS ON AN ANTHOLOGY OF THE OHIO PLAYERS MY BROTHER IN LAW GAVE ME AS A GIFT....AND I'M FROM OHIO!
One of the most underrated classic, I was six years old when I first this song in 1974, and how I was so intimidated by the bald woman on the album cover, but now I play this song every other day on my iphone!!!
@bigmaverick13 That bald dominatrix was on all the cover of all their Westbound Records covers "Pain", "Pleasure","Ecstacy" and "Climax". It's a woman on "Rattlesnake" but I don't think it's her. When I saw the album cover for "Honey" I said Aww yeah!-That's more like it. I guess Mercury paid them better than Westbound did so they upgraded their model. Their Mercury recordings were more sohisticated and polished but their Westbound albums were better to me.
I think the reason all these kids always say there age is because they're looking for recognition, they don't have friends that they can share and enjoy the music with so they look to the youtube community. but yea no one cares about your age, all we care about is the Funk!

I'm a 38yrs old black man. I've grown up around a WHOLE LOT OF FUNK! (being black in the ghetto helps so please don't be offended).
Anyway, this song is the ABSOLUTELY funkiest song in the world. More than "Fight the Power" by Isley Brothers, "Make my FUnk the P funk" by Parliaiment, more than "DOOKY STICK" by Bootsy Collins, etc. etc. etc.
It's a close first over all songs mentioned and then some!

@navyman4 Dooky Stick was not Bootsy. THink about it Dukey Stick. That was a song by George DUKE. Keyboard player solo, Billy Cobham and Stanley Clarke. That would inclue the songs Reach for It and Son of Reach for It. They all have that Bootsy set up. But they are not by the Boot Man.

the secret behind this jam is the bass that keeps you in a holding pattern for 3 bars then finally lets you land in the next two.. Junies vocals and keyboards dancing in and out of the rhythm

@elquebi I love your comment. I had been analyzing that feel. You are absolutely right. This is the first funk song that is on the 2 for two bars. And then releases on the 3 in the third bar. The 1 never hits. It is implied. That third bar with the Bass on the 3 feels like a 1 but it is not. Very Very bad ass song. Key of D Minor by the way. Same as Soul Power by James Brown and Bootsy.

One of the most underrated classic, I was six years old when I first this song in 1974, and how I was so intimidated by the bald woman on the album cover, but now I play this song every other day on my iphone!!!
bigmaverick13 6 months ago
@bigmaverick13 That bald dominatrix was on all the cover of all their Westbound Records covers "Pain", "Pleasure","Ecstacy" and "Climax". It's a woman on "Rattlesnake" but I don't think it's her. When I saw the album cover for "Honey" I said Aww yeah!-That's more like it. I guess Mercury paid them better than Westbound did so they upgraded their model. Their Mercury recordings were more sohisticated and polished but their Westbound albums were better to me.
