I wrote a thread about "It's Your Night" a long time ago on here. One of my faves from the Players. Bangin' ass cut.

Indeed.

Skin Tight is tight as a duck's ass
Angel is a great, underrated cut.

"What The Hell" and "Spinning" are my two MOST FAVORITE Ohio Players cuts!!!!

"I don't think they heard ya'".

I vaguely remember that. I think along with the discussion about the live or studio recording of "Alone".

It seems they, especially "Sugar", had fun doing that track. I can't recall, if I ever heard "It's Your Night" while attending a show.

Yeah, That's one of the essential OP albums to own.

Angel is just...Umm!.

woogiebear said:

What The Hell" is wicked, from the siren to the horns to the piano!.

Smoke is another wicked cut from the Fire LP, as we all know another essential OP LP you must own.

I also wrote a thread about "Hell" from the Fire album on here as well. P directly lifted from that song with the riff to Computer Blue. Take a listen to both songs.

Cool.....I thought I heard some other stuff in there.

I freaking love this band. Good luck charm is another underrated cut.

rebelsoldier said:

No doubt. Lead vocalist Sugarfoot turns the songs out along with the groove even its fast or slow.

Why did Junie leave the band? He was clearly the leader durimg the Westbound years. Did he want a solo career or what?
He is easily one of the most underrated musicians ever. Dude could do it all. What's he up to these days?

rebelsoldier said:

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that he pasted.

rebelsoldier said:

I would think it's because of a solo career, don't know of any beefs with the other members. He's still around released a album a couple of years ago.

StarMon said:

Is it any good? cause "when they playing with Junie, you know they playing funky"

rebelsoldier said:

Well I only heard one full song, It's not like the Ohio Players stuff or his 3 solo LP's during the (Wb) years...(lol) or the two after he left the Mothership.

It's more like the Evacuate Your seat LP with the song Techno-Freqs. Here's a link to his site and samples of the album When The City
