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.

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😢😢😢😢

Ecstasy with my favorite song by the Ohio players I'll always miss them

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!

[Starr-d-vx]

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...
