Well, its time for Ms. Legs to add her about her favorite Ohio Players cuts which are:

Fire
I Wanna Be Free
Love Rollercoaster
Funky Worm
Skin Tight
O-H-I-O


And to answer your question about my boys making into the RNRHOF, I will beleive it when I see it. It seems to me that there is only some much funk that the commitee wants to allow in the place b/c so far the only Funk artist that have got in have been JB,Prince, P-Funk. The Commitee has turned a blind eye to other Funk artists like Rick James which is long overdue and the Bar-Kays.

"Who'd She Coo"(1976)

The "Honey" album....

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Thank you, people. One more group with a back cataloque as big J-Lo's ass I have to check out. Was just getting into Bob Dylan.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Exactly!!!!

Hey pysko, what u think of Sugar's solo lp? I remember when I bought it, I was so excited that it was even out.

blackguitaristz said:

The remake of "Fire" was weak and pointless, though.

blackguitaristz said:

I was excited it. But it was the 80s by then. I was never really thought Zapp and the Ohio Players was a good fit. "I Will Be Your Star" was pretty cool, though. However, I was a little bit let down by the whole LP.

psykosoul said:

Yep. "I Will Be Your Star" was cool. I kinda dug the thought of Roger getting with LeRoy, but...it ended up being like George Clinton with Prince. Kinda sorry. Hold on to Sugar's lp. It's worth some bread.

blackguitaristz said:

Legs may have to look into this funk.
