The song is still funky fabulous 48 years later.
I’m 62 and that is on my phone as well!
The Ohio Players made some CLASSICS!! You should listen to "Skin Tight" next!
Or......Funky Worm? 🤣
+1 to Skin Tight
'You are a real fine lady. Though your walk's a little shady'
Yes! Skin Tight and Streakin Cheek to Cheek!
Yes definitely skin tight and then honey that whole album honey was some of the best music ever made.
Real musicians who played their own instruments. Someone already suggested Skin Tight which is even MORE funkier than this which doesn't seem possible but is IMO. Love your reactions
house parties! was the shit back then!
Let's not forget 'Sweet Sticky Thing' !
if you want more, more funkier you got to check out fopp by them.
Try Far East Mississippi off the Contradiction album. Dirty ass funk from masters of the game.
Wrote there own lyrics as well
That 70’s funk! Love it. Remember this one well 💙💙
Nothing Like it!!☺🎶
Same danced my fanny off to this song.
🔥🔥🔥They were a funky, cool band. Don't forget "Love Rollercoaster". I was just a little kid when these came out.
Me too........ Love it
YESSS ! 🎢🎢🎢🎢
Love Rollercoaster….Pleeze!
Rollercoaster is my favorite Ohio Player song too, but I also like Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover as well.
@@mikeadams2677Ya, RHCP does a great cover.
I heard this song so many times, I never get tired of it !
As a young bass player in the mid-1970s, my first band was multi racial. The brothers in the band taught this white boy all about 70s funk and this song is still at the top of my list. Love it! Rock on kids!
Right there with you guy. I left on the road with a disco, show band in 1980 playing bass at 17 years of age. Multi racial, a female singer, and blew everybody's mind as the little white boy who could thump and slap his ass off. Good times!
There is an amazing live version of this, and Love Rollercoaster on Midnight Special. Great musicians.
They were SUPER STARS long before FIRE came out. "SKINTIGHT" was their first Platinum ALBUM. Their bedroom ballads " Honey" "Sweet Sticky Thing" "Heaven Must Be Like This" plus many more are one of the greatest funk R+B BANDS EVER !!!
Lookie here... the Ohio Players were totally badass! Some of the sexiest tunes in R&B ever! STILL jamming on them. Long damn time.
Can't WAIT to see your faces when you hear this!!!
and the best album covers ever
@@dgodfrey8953 oh def. 🔥
Oh, the Ohio Players! Their album covers always featured a very beautiful woman, undressed, doing something that had to do with the album title. This one had a model wrapped in a fire hose and wearing a fireman's hat - and nothing else.
Couldn’t wait to go to the record store to look at the covereach time they released an album.
And they were all gatefold😁
@@stevenmontgomery8117 Yep. Funk centerfolds.
My older brother bought this album when it came out. I was 13 at the time and when I turned 18, I was dancing to it in the clubs. Love Rollercoaster is good, too. Another funk band he played for me all the time was Sly and the Family Stone.
YES! Sly and the Family Stone!!!
Sly and The Family Stone are awesome and everything you could ask for in a variety package 📦😅😊
I remember when this came out and we did a dance called the bump to it. A great freaking song by a great freaking band. They were good live too 😉
Oh wow! I'd forgotten about the Bump. lol Thanks for the reminder.
Dancing the bump with someone you were really in to could get steamy fast; I did things in public I'm still surprised at myself for...
@@gl15colMe too, Good Times
We used to play the Ohio Players song "Love Rollercoaster" as we were warming up in High School in the late 70's for basketball games, way up in New Hampshire. Love Rollercoaster was also featured in the movie Beavis and Butthead Do America, Has to be seen to be fully appreciated, Band B in Las Vegas, dancing to the Oho Players. Unbelievable.
Honey. Ohio players
@@kimberly8858 Yeah, I dig the album cover too.
@@bobschenkel7921 yeah always with a woman on it looking well you know every time they came out with a album everyone male ,female ,straight or gay look to see what cover would look like. Red Hot Chili Peppers did a cover song of love roller coaster. Sweet sexy thing , skin tight. Saw them in Brooklyn NY at metro tech free outdoor summer concert about give or take 7 years ago
@@kimberly8858 That may be the RHCP's version in the Beavis and Butthead movie.
@@bobschenkel7921 maybe it’s a animated video
Love The Ohio Players: 'Sweet Sticky Thing", "Fopp" ... "Love Rollercoaster" of course too.
70's funk is always welcome.
FUNK YA LOL Them 70s for me all day long
They don't make cool shit like this anymore!! ❤️❤️❤️
Checkout a band from my country that us Kiwi's have been grooving too for the past 6+ years. Their discography is very diverse and full of bangers.
L.A.B (Live/Studio Performances when available) - Fashion Dread, Proud Man, Personify, My Brother, Natural, In The Air, Controller, Ain''t No Use (Live at One Love 2021),
Thank you.
what are you talking about Disco/Funk is coming back
That funky music style was always my favorite time in my life. The music, the style, the groove and the flow of life was the best daze of my life.
Sonny Tavares you said that so we'll ,thanks LISA FORET
@@lisaforet9911 Yes your comments were transcending and perfect in description of one of the baddest and best groups EVER, Love them into infinity ♾️😊😂❤🎉
My 70's soul/funk. What a great time to be a teen. Love Ohio Players. They had many hits!
Best show I ever saw---Paramount Theatre, Portland, Oregon, 1977---K.C. & The Sunshine Band and the Ohio Players as the opening band ...it was hard to say who out-performed who that night, but every one of the 9,000-plus crowd went home happy, sweaty and exhausted from dancing so much!!
Ohio Players, classic 1970's soul-funk. Right on! Check out "Love Rollercoaster", and "Funky Worm". And for more classic 1970's soul-pop-funk check out The O'Jays, "For the Love of Money," "Back Stabbers," and "Use Ta Be My Girl"; Earth, Wind & Fire "Shining Star", "Fantasy", "That's the Way of the World", "Boogie Wonderland", "September"; The Spinners "I'll Be Around", "It's a Shame", "The Rubberband Man", and "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" along with many others.
Old Kool and The Gang too “Funky Stuff,” the old Wild and Peaceful album. Hollywood Swingin
Wonderful suggestions 😊 🎶
@@nkcbrazil Oops! Them too!
In the day we did the bump to this song,🔥🔥. My brother could bump aii the way to the floor. 💃🕺. Great times on a lighted dance floor. 💞💞
I can tell you, if it's funk, r+b you want, it needs to be The Dazz Band (another) from Ohio (Cleveland). They are top 5 of all-time r+b funk. Another really good band (again from Ohio, it must the water) is Lakeside. Not as well-known (Coolio sampled) Fantastic Voyage, their biggest hit.
First concert I ever went to when I was 16. Still have that song on my phone!!!
It was a really jam song. I’m 61 and still have it on my phone!
The bruddahs had the BEST album covers back in the day! LOL!
great reaction! their music can fit in any time of music history. many hits and classics...keep them on your rotation.
Ohio Players always had the sexiest album covers.
That drum semi-solo towards the end always got me moving.
Dang this takes me back to when I was a youngin! Y'all talkin bout the skatin rink, I remember doin my own showin off to a lot of the old groove tunes! Lol
These guys were huge when I was in high school.
I recommend you react to these songs by Ohio Players “Pain, Heaven must be like this, I want to be free, Skintight”.
Nobody quite like the Ohio Players. Confunkshun, Cameo, Slave, Lakeside, and so many others tried but couldn't touch Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner and the rest of the players - they ruled the R&B Funk and no one compares with them to this day. Love the songs you mentioned (especially "I Want To Be Free" their absolute BEST!) and would ad "Funky Worm," "Ecstasy," "Jive Turkey," "It's Your Night," & "Sweet Sticky Thing" and really too many others to keep naming.
My favorite lyric not just based on the words but how he sings it is “I'm 'bout to choke from the smoke, got to tighten up my stroke”. It’s…well…FIRE!
I like the line from fire. You got me burning burning
One of the greatest songs of my childhood.
The legendary Sugar Foot on lead vocals. RIP. You guys need to watch the video for the song. SugarFoot had the coolest Fro.
And Billy Beck on co-lead vocals.
Yes, The Ohio Players. "Fire, Skin Tight" were Hits in 1974, "Love Roller Coaster, Sweet Sticky Thing" were Hits in 1975. You have to check out - "Sweet Sticky Thing" off the "Honey" Lp. I have the original release on Cassette! :)
how are there this many comments without sweet sticky thing? i do not understand. lol.
@@afrolanticanjurisprudence8849 Thank you; I have the Original release and listen to "Sweet Sticky Thing" off the "Honey" LP.. I love the entire Arrangement; Saxophone, Bass, Drums, Vocals & Jazzy swing. Awesome Tune that stands the test of time. Again, Thank you, You have a good ear for Music.
Honestly, we all need more black BANDS, musicians, artists!
How about Multiracial/Brown?🤣2010's Funk Kiwi style, it's not as funky but it's smoother with a fusion of genre's while still retaining that familiar groove. Listen to L.A.B (Studio versions) - In The Air, My Brother, Personify, Fashion Dread
Did somebody else say this first? This song is FIRE!!
One of the greatest songs EVER!
Ohio players have deep history. They used to have a female singer, Towanda Barnes. Northern soul classics like "you don't mean it".
The Brothers Johnson "Stomp" will get you groovin'
You should listen to their hit “Love Rollercoaster”. All of the great Funk Soul bands of the 70s came out of Ohio.
Watch the live version its awesome!!
LOVE Ohio Players!!!! Hope you listen to lots more. Don't forget to listen to Brick House. ✌
The Ohio Players were all about that Funk in the 70's. Great songs by the Ohio Players are ""Love Rollercoaster"(1975) "Sweet Sticky Thing"(1975) "Skin Tight"(1974) "Jive Turkey"(1974). Other great Funk music in the 70's were B.T. Express "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)"" (1974) and Slave "Just A Touch Of Love" (1979) and "Slide" (1977). Also a great Funk group out of Miami was Cameo with "Shake Your Pants" (1980) and "Flirt" (1982) with many others.
THE 70'S WAS THE GREATEST HITS IN MUSIC INDUSTRY BACK IN THE DAYS. THEY WERE CALLED THE GROOVES BACK THEN WHICH THEY CALLED THE HITS NOW, I'VE GOT MORE HITS FOM THE 70'S THEN I DO ANY YEARLY RECORDS FOR WHICH I STILL GROOVE TO WHENEVER I BE DRIVING TO FROM HERE TO FAR.
they were extremely underrated

YES! Rollerskating! This was an item back in 1973 when we skated. I was 15 going on 16. All it took was hearing the fire engines in the beginning and we were beatin' it to the floor. And, yes, we did the boogie moves while we skated. I so miss that so much. We also jammed to Love Rollercoaster which was the favorite. Skin Tight was also played. If you haven't done Love Rollercoaster yet, you need to. You would not be disappointed.
Still an A+ jam after all these years! Check out Sweet Sticky Thing!
The Ohio Players were on FIRE back in the day!!! They were nothing but funk!!!
Aside from my childhood memories, whenever I hear this song now, I also think about The Movie Roll bounce
It’s a pre-disco song. Ohio Players and Earth Wind & Fire dominated funk in the early to mid-1970s. I bought this record along with Love Rollercoaster and wore them both out. This is a vintage Soul Train era jam.
Ahhhhh, Military Days Overseas "76-78", Me and the fella's sippin 🍾🍺🥃 an groovin !! Ohio players owned the 70's!! #SweetMemories🇺🇲Hooah✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
In the 1970s, I went to school in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which has a fairly large black population. In Grade 5-6, I heard a lot of funk including the Ohio Players, and it led to this Jewish boy’s lifelong love of all things funky. Loved Soul Train too!
If you can sit still while this is playing, you're dead! 😂🔥🔥
Literally Fire!!! I had a 75' Volkswagon "Rabbit" with rims and a hatchback... blaring this in between Led Zeppelin and Foghat... I had a play list before there was such a thing ... Pionneer Cassette Deck turned up to 10! Good Times! thanks for your great reactions! gt
They were incredible and we danced to them at parties all the time. Their song called roller coaster is totally iconic. It's got this really cool beat Rhythm to it that I've heard sampled many times over many years following.
Yes, BJ, that was "PLAYERISHESS". I like your new word. This song was a big hit at the discos and clubs back in the day. I remember grooving to this song many times. Loved your reactions!
Yeah, I know I'm 2 yrs down the road but I thoroughly enjoyed watching both of you thoroughly enjoy this song - great reaction guys!💯 👍
VH-1 had a special hosted by QuestLove a few years back called "Finding the Funk" where he goes over the history of funk. The Ohio Players are part of that discussion as well as other funk bands from the Dayton (DayTown!), Ohio area. Anyway, worth a watch for sure.
Ohio Players/Funky Worm. This was their first top 40 hit in the USA!
Sugarfoot is just amazing with his vocals and he plays a double neck Gibson SG the man has skills. This whole band is just a solid music machine, horns, bass, keyboards, drums, conga drums, so much talent.
In rapid succession albums 'Pain', 'Pleasure', 'Extasy', 'Climax', 'Fire', 'Skin Tight', 'Honey', 'Contradiction', 'Angel', ''Mr Mean' 'Jass-Ay lay dee', came out through seventies. Sometimes two in the same year!
C
The LEGENDARY Iconic Players from OHIO
Asia & BJ, ya'll need to play some Amrosia!! 3 songs from them are great for starters. 1. " Biggest part of me". 2. "How much I feel ". 3 " Your the only woman. Those 3 songs are great!! One of the best complete bands of all times. It'll change your life.
One of my all-time favorite bands EVER!!! The Ohio Players are among the gods of Funk music along with Sly & the Family Stones and Parliament......Just Funky!!!! Great musicianship!!! I feel this BJ singing and expressing this song to Asia!!!! lol.......y'all Hahaa
I was grade 6 when this beast hit the airwaves. Amazing funk
BJ killing it with the MOVES!!
Asia's been watching Kickboxer way too many times..... she's bringing out those Jean Claude Van Damme dance moves.
The name used to be the Ohio Untouchable but changed the name to players because they love making music and the ladies. The main focus was the music then they pushed the lyrics limits for the times. You should checkout the live performances of fire
Yes!!!! This and so good. Was suggested during the live! They have a few other songs too, I’m from Ohio so this makes me happy to hear!
These guys had quite a few dance club hits. Definitely a groove more than a vibe. 👍
The 70’s, the era of the best black funk bands giving you that good dance grooves and slow dance love songs! The Ohio Players were one of best and most talented singers, songwriters and musicians , you bought the albums, grooved to the music , and went to see them live in concert. This song was the hottest of that year, on the radio , at the parties and clubs everywhere! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
EXCELLENT SONG and group!! Gets you movin
I'm 59.....but when i was a teen......we danced....love it
The Ohio Players and The Isley Brothers truly define FUNK! 🤣❤️
Its my birthday to day . Love Ohio Players seen the in concert many times .Party On !
You guys are hittin' and appreciating the best our best years had to offer! The next party you host, your dj-ing is gonna blow everyone's minds! ♡
Pain, Pleasure, Ecstasy, and Climax...those were the names of the Ohio Players' early albums. And then they woke the world up with the albums Skin Tight, Fire, and then Honey. There are a ton of great cuts to pull from those albums.
How can you not get down to this song ? Thanks for sharing . We used to do the bump back in the day .
My friends. Ohio players were never a disco bank. They were funk, jazz and slightly rock. Player fans would be offended if anyone called them disco but I understand why you would think that but they were out way before disco and long after. Multiple classic albums.
Got this 60yr old woman dancing in her seat. Love that funk back in the day and still do today
The ohio players gave the instrumental to stevie wonder. The band hadn't titled it yet.
After he heard it he said that's fire. Then they went off of the title & wrote the lyrics.
Every suburban white kid I grew up around probably had some Ohio Players in their mix. I sure did. Ohio Players, War, P-Funk, The Rockers had the licks, but the Funk bands had the bump. Sometimes you just got to have the bump.
Man oh man, whew. Bringing back memories of real funk. This song and Rollercoaster, man. This song was jamming at the Roller Skating rink in the day. Thank you. I got platform shoes, my glitter shoe laces. ❤
Lord, I remember dancing the bump to this one until I couldn't dance anymore. Great song to dance to with someone you were into, it could get pretty r-rated...
Shout out from Ohio! These guys were FIRE that whole year when this came out. 🔥
This song came out when I was in 3rd grade. Every time I hear it - I’m back in the good old days...
A little War and Parliament mixed with the Ohio Players...CLASSIC! They had the HOTTEST babes on their album covers! LOL!
Growing up in central Ohio this song was always part of our party playlist. Can't deny the funk. Lol
So another hit from Ohio Players was Love Rollercoaster. Story that circulated said that when they recorded it the scream at the end of song was really a woman being killed and the mic picked it up.
I remember disco days with mirror ball in the ceiling,with lights reflecting and lit glass tiled floors.....oh and weed,lol.
hollywood swingin is my favorite by kool and the gang
A excellent , talented band. The where on top for many years. Great funk and very sensual slow jams. Check out Heaven must like this. Many other jams . A wonderful live prefromance.
One of the greatest Funk tunes ever. Check them out on The Midnight Special.
Loooove this song . I love this old music. Real funk and soul .
Now you gotta hear 'Love Rollercoaster'
Oh,this was the best song to skate to! This one, and Love Rollercoaster, which you definitely need to react to next! Great band, love the Ohio Players!
It's the bass, folks.
