Your fave Ohio Players ballads

I've been listening to all of this bands back catalog and i came to the conclusion that when it comes to ballads Ohio Players were simply unbeatable and no other funk or soul act came close to them. After much deliberation i picked my top three ballads.

1. Sleepwalkin'
2. Honey
3. Let's Love

Anyone else got any faves. Only three allowed!!

Dammit TA Baby, you've took the cuts out of a sista's mouth. But since we're both musicians, I guess I great minds think alike.

Whoa. Thats a pretty bold statement that I'm sure Maurice White and any Isley brother would take an exception to.

The obvious choice is "I Want To Be Free", but for me, my fave hands down is "It's Your Night/Words of Love" off of their Skin Tight album.
