Leroy sugarfoot Bonner. He was the best. I will always love this man. Rest easy Foots.l
Billy Beck!
I met Sugarfoot by chance. he was at the Ohio State fair mid 70's. I work in a 7up tent by the stands and was walking around the back and hear, "hey little man" I was around 13. he wanted to know if the stands were filling, he was in a small trailer looking out a small window. after a few minutes he told me to take off before someone notices him...his signature hair was an easy spot for me to realize who he was..I think of those moments everytime the ohio players are on the radio even after 40 plus years..most of it's faded but I can still see him looking out the window with the doo..
Billy Beck is still alive.

I Grew Up Listening To these Guy's Such a Phenomenal Group
Hopefully these fine artists will claim a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ashame they're not there yet. They were a very gifted group. The seventies. Decade of the bands! One of the greatest memories of life. Always remembered Ohio Players. RIP✊🏾
junie morrison!!! his style of singin was phenomenal!!! That piano jazz funk he had in "Pain,Pleasure,and Ecstacy!!!..i havent heard anybody trying to do that till this day...let alone the work he did as a solo artist...his solo album "Bread Alone" is still killin me in a beautiful way....listen to that then go to the work he did with george clinton and watch n see how sorry you`ll be that all that talent is gone.....i wish i had the opportunity to meet learn n play with that artist
There will never be a Ohio class ever again, including mandrill, a war BT Express. Rest in peace thanks for the music, the 60s and the 70s and 80s.
And thank you youtube front having this this
My youngest brother LOVED the Ohio players. And so did I,had every album until someone stole THEM. Love Robert Ward and Robert Jones. My brother named Robert Jones was 2 years younger than me. He died from cancer like the Ohio Player Robert Jones😢😢😢😢
I loved this band!
The Ohio players were the Funk ticket in the early to mid 70s without a doubt! They were so heavy that Parliaments 'Give up the Funk (tear the roof off the sucker) is a style sample of the Ohio Players. That song got Ohio Players written all over it...(oww wee want the funk....nah nah nah nah na)...a pure style sample!
Sugar had recorded BRAND NEW MUSIC before he passed, so sad it hasn't been released!
Deep and memorable connections to Ohio Players songs. They were among my favorite 70s bands. Who'd She Coo and Skin Tight were my Top 2.
These were my top boys for real! Their music was the blueprint, and the soundtrack of my early development years growing up. Smoking weed to their music way back then was almost therapeutic! It was all about having fun, and enjoying the teenage years. Whether riding around, or chillin' at the crib, the Ohio Players was the true 'National Anthem'. (To me).
The first funk group I ever played in was influenced by The Ohio Players & Kool & the Gang (& for sure James Brown). This was circa 1971-72, & funkity funk was prevailing. What à time.
Thank you, Ohio Players...
Billy beck/Diamond and Sugarfoot...EQUALLY! Billy Beck really made the Ohio Players SOAR when he took over for Walter Junie Morrison!@
Oh I loved them can remember them growing up! They were great! My mom listened to them often. Brings back great memories as a child. Sugarfoot could make that guitar talk!

I just saw Billy Beck playing with the Ohio Players July 22 2023. He is still alive living in Youngstown Ohio and is currently touring with The Ohio Players to date 9/8/2023. The next tour stop is in 2 weeks in Detroit Michigan. "Facts"!👍🏾💯
He's still alive. These are the members that passed away
First noticed them in the mid seventies. Great band.😊
All of them were my favorite they were one of my favorite groups doing the seventies it's real sad but I think all of these guys have now passed God rest his soul in peace
Fire was my favorite and I wanna be free. I love all of there music it was amazing.
one of the best groups in the 70's
Robert Kuumba Jones is still living. He is no longer performing but is still alive. Im posting this information today 9/6/2023👍🏾💯
And that is the TRUTH!!
"Junie" Singing lead on "Pain" an playing electric piano.
I loved Rock Jones when he wore that turbin.
Jimmy Williams was not mention better known as Diamond and is still a member of the Ohio Players Drummer
That's because he has not passed away.
Billy Beck is still alive
Born in March 1970, Sugarfoot top notch. No one can touch hid FUNK, in my honest opinion!
❤MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE!❤
Sugar Foot for sure
Robert kunya Jones is still performing with the group 1/25/2024
Got to take anything from the other players, all hell of Players Sugarfoot was my main man. Cross between hendrix Add james brown
Robert Ward was no longer with the band when they recorded the album "Pain"
Yes rip 😭
Groups, such as the Ohio Players are not formed anymore!
Are you sure Robert Ward contributed to Pain and Pleasure? They had a bitter split from Robert Ward before their sound became more funky.
I wanna be free the drummer diamond drum solo on that was in matched with surgarfoots singing lead it was a melo song with both a great drum solo in between ❤❤
The Ohio Players is my favorite group and I followed them over 50 year. This is the worst representation that I ever saw because it wasn't the truth. Rumba is still alive, Robert Johnson last played with them in 1964, and many more lies. I think the narrative should have been investigated before broadcasting lies
All of the. They came to Texas in 1982
Sugarfoot was my favorite
Favor group
Skin Tight and I Want to be Free. Genius Funk and Soul
Leroy
I like leroy
Yes they did forget Mr. Billy Beck i don't see how but they did
Ai sucks i know it is a computer because it said Bass lines like a bass fish not Bass like a bass guitar.
They make me sick miss pronouncing words and names
SOME WRONG INFO HERE!! RECHECK YOUR SOURCES!!!!
SO IS ALL OF THEM DEAD...
No. Trumpet/ Trombone player Marvin "Merv" Pierce is still alive but no longer performing with the band. James"Diamond" Williams is still alive, leading the band to this very day and is as funky as ever on that kit. He is also number 72 on the rolling stones list of 100 greatest drummers. Keyboardist Billy Beck is still alive and performing this very day with the band , Guitarist Clarence "Chet" Willis is still performing with the band and Robert Kuumba Jones is still with us but no longer touring with the band.
