Who in the hell could hate anything OHIO PLAYERs does??? They are awesome! This is REAL music.....nothing fake here! Real voices & instruments! This is how it was done!
man....I was going to Slave practice in 1983 as lead singer and I ran right into Brotha SATCH...he said hey man ....who is you? you look someone i think i know man....and i almost had a heart attack at age 20 man i said i am the new lead singer for Slave and he hugged me and gave me a slap me 5 .........said good luck young man...he then said ..you go on to practice young man. now THAT is an unbelievable experience! I had just moved to Dayton OHIO from Daly city just outside San francisco california. I went on to sing and co-write "Steppin outa" on bad enuff album then all of the lead vocals on "new Plateau" album Thank you so very much SATCH!
Cool story! Y'all brought the funk too. I'm from Michigan, but I gotta give Y'all props when it comes to the funk. Y'all, The Ohio Players, Lakeside, Zapp. Even Bootsy is from the Natti. Must be something in the water there. Funk on!
I was in Aruba and got a ride in a taxi with one of the locals who couldn’t speak much English. He ask us where we were from. I said Ohio. He said oh yea the Ohio players
Grew up in the lily-white 'burbs of Cincinnati during the 1970s; all my buds and I loved the 'Players and idolized Leroy Bonner. We would go around saying, "Say What?", trying to sound like Leroy and imitating those dance moves like Re-Run on "That's my Mama". :-) Miss those years dearly.
For those that don't know, Maurice was a snare drummer in high school marching band. Through his career ended up becoming the drummer for the "Ramsey Lewis trio" . Then founding member of "Earth wind and fire". So the drums are a big influence on their style, with horns brother Fred on drum set, brother Verdine on bass, Philip and Ralph on Congos. The greatest group I've ever seen in concert. Awesome 🥁🥁🎵🎶!
I remember having their 8 track tape and my 8 track portable player. Listening to this song. Great vocals and instrumental. I could take the Ohio Players to the beach and funk to the tunes.
Absolutely love this takes me right back, along with BEEGEES and ABBA, disco was AMAZING, so was our lives back then, how wonderful would it be to experience this all again, 😊 makes me smile.
Back when music was fantastic, men wore their hair long and sexy, fashion was dazzling, flattering and creative, and I was young.....this brings it all back🔷🔷🔷
Man I would always get sleepy and fall asleep trying to watch Midnight Special Saturday nights back in the 70s eyelids was getting heavy Millenniums you Miss some of the greatest prolific R&B soul artists of all time it was my pleasure to be a kid during this era
The music is tight, the sequined outfits look terrific even decades later, and that drummer's 'fro is nothing short of cosmic - what's not to love, folks?
OMG.......that was effin' awesome! Back when musicians could actually play their instruments AND sing! And a horn section to boot! That was a great performance!
@@cabezadepija7318 Yes, but odds are it won't be your types of music and then it's difficult to see past that bias. There are great writers, singers, guitarists, composers. What's your genre?
@@fredriksvard2603the difference is back in the 70s these types of musicians/bands were prominent and mainstream. Not all the case today. I 100% believe u can find one today but it will be niche and underground not prominent and mainstream
The Ohio Players were one of the best bands of the 1970's regardless of genre but I always felt that they never got the recognition they deserved. R.I.P. Leroy Sugarfoot Bonner, Clarence Satch Satchell,Ralph Pee Middlebrooks,Marshall Rock Jones.
Robert Brown for me I always thought of them as like trailblazers in the funk community if you will. Those Kat's paved the way for a lot of other good bands. I don't think they got the recognition they deserved either.
The one, the only, The Ohio Players! I'm so glad that I grew up during this incredible era of great music...Funk! The impact it had on me not only as a listener, but as a musician, is undeniable and speaks volumes. Groups like The Brothers Johnson, Cameo, Parliament Funkadelic, Con Funk Shun, Graham Central Station, etc. Leroy "Sugar Foot" Bonner (Lead Vocalist and Guitarist of The Ohio Players) had one of the most unique and recognizable voices in r&b and funk ever. His voice was the "Pure Personification of the sound of Funk in and of itself period! Other than "Larry Blackmon" (Vocalist and Drummer for the group) "Cameo", which I'm sure his vocal style was "heavily influenced" as a direct result of "Bonner" which came before him. It saddens me that "Sugar Foot" didn't get his just due and accolades as a guitarist and musician. Whether he played great rhythm guitar riffs (Love Rollercoaster) or hot rock guitar solo's (Fire) or even great jazz guitar (Sweet Sticky Thing), he played it all and very well I might add. James "Diamond" Williams was and still is one of my favorite all-time drummers. Brotha Man had a "Foot" that sounded like it was gonna "Blow Up Your Speakers" when he played! Those "Tasty Quadruple Kicks" he would "sneakily" implement somehow within the groove was truly a thing of beauty. Or how he would masterfully "reverse the groove" and then get back into "pocket / sync" without you even realizing it, (he did this on "Love Rollercoaster" as well as other songs). His innate ability to do this always left me absolutely "Awestruck", as to how "tight" this brotha'z "skills" were. I laugh because he really played like a "Rock Drummer" in a "Funk Band". His completely over the top drum solo's on the slow r&b classic jam (I Want To Be Free) has become legendary / signatory to his "fiery" playing style. Last and certainly not least, my main man Marshall "Rock" Jones always held down the "bottom and groove" with some great "Sly" funky bass playing. As a bassist myself I love playing the bassline from (Skin Tight) because it's so "smooth, funky and rhythmic". Round off the band with a killer horn section and keyboardist, and The Ohio Players has truly gone down in the annals of Funk History as one of funks greatest bands.
@@TurboMan51 Oh yeah... I love the Bar-Kays as well, some serious funk! Not to mention they were the band playing on most of the tracks on Isaac Hayes "Hot Buttered Soul" album. 😀👍
That's not the robot that they're doing. It's actually a dance called Funky chicken. First popularized by Rufus. Look up "rufus thomas do the funky chicken"
Oh God ! I ever dancing fun this music! And now ,discover the unique and awesome Ohio Players! Great ,amazing and unique ,trully funk ! Thanks for the posting !!
Great Funk dance song. One of the best. Dance Clubs through-out the 80's always played Love Rollercoaster. I remember when the Club DJ would put on this song, everyone rushed onto the dance floor.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers paid homage to this song in their own style with the best cover of it to date. That being said, NOBODY could EVER top the original and best version by the Ohio Players
so much old 70's holy crap goodness in one place , afroes , denim, junkie hats , turbans and robot dancing , all that a double neck guitar and the wolfman !!!
We've now seen the proof-that one dude did the 1st version of the robot on TV 1972! I didn't think that style came out until the later 70s like 78-79 or until early 80s,but guess Idk sh...
People today don't know how innovative the Ohio Players were back then. They were the first to do this new style of "FUNK" and it was amazing. We couldn't get enough of the Ohio Players back then. Everywhere you went to party, they were playing the hell out of the Ohio Players, and not to forget Sly Stone. Both were funky as hell. Before the Rick James and Cameo's and even before Parliament Funkadelic with George Clinton hit it big in the early 80'. These guys were doing funk in the 70's on another new level. It was a great time for music in the 70's
@LaShawn H are you serious, you should have grown up in my generation. That move was a typical Friday, Saturday night house party move. Nothing great about that.

Saw them at 6 flags in Dallas in 78 their guitar player had a brown telecaster deluxe just like one I just bought from my brother. They opened with this song.
I had that 45. By The Guess Who. Flipside was Road Food. I didn't know what that was when I was 11. I thought they were having a picnic in the middle of a street.

I'm forever grateful that was MY Heyday of music life ..I was even playing in a TOP 40s bandat that time,,that very song was on Our songlist ,Todays so called pop music doesn't even stand up to the music of those FABULOUS 70s songs 🙂🙂🙂🙂😉
R.I.P Sugarfoot...we sure are gonna miss you...born in Hamilton, OH and lived down the street...you left your mark on everyone....great person just as great musician. Later he lived in Dayton, OH....surely missed.
Love the Midnight Special and Rock Concert, my Friday nights back in the 70's was spent watching these two shows. I hated when they went towards a disco format because this show became less live performances and more on lip synced shows. I miss all the soulful bands like Ohio Players, EWF, Commodores and Isely Brothers that dominated this decade. And the live shows these groups did were the best! Stop all the same ole same ole music industry and get back to black folks making real music with instruments etc..... Thank you!
Ohio Players...most underrated band of the 70's!! Pioneers of funk!
Who in the hell could hate anything OHIO PLAYERs does??? They are awesome! This is REAL music.....nothing fake here! Real voices & instruments! This is how it was done!

I loved the Midnight Special. Saw many great performers and heard the best music.
Great performance!!! The Ohio Players should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. God Bless!!!
It is 2024 and the Ohio Players are still not in the HOF
WHY THE HELL NOT?!WHO DO WE GET IN TOUCH TO CHANGE THIS?
Sugarfoot has arguably one of the most unique voices I have ever heard! I love the way it sounds! Rest in Peace Sugarfoot!
He is the pied piper. He is mesmerizing
I used to have a crush 😻 on him. Big time 😊
His voice is the definition of FUNK!
Grew up in the lily-white 'burbs of Cincinnati during the 1970s; all my buds and I loved the 'Players and idolized Leroy Bonner. We would go around saying, "Say What?", trying to sound like Leroy and imitating those dance moves like Re-Run on "That's my Mama". :-) Miss those years dearly.

After all these years this guys rules. Singing and playing instruments with no playback....100 % pure talent.
Hanging out in the 70's, my clock radio, my bedroom, dancing that funky shit out!
I always loved this song for its arrangement. For this kind of genre this was definitely quite wild and unconventional. So much energy - I love it!!
Funk!!
@@SteveCarras Sure, funk! But also has a kinda proggy feel to it in my opinion. :)

Still in 2023!!
I was in the Army when this song first came out. Every weekend at the EM/EW club, this and "Fire" was blasting on the juke box all night!!
I remember having their 8 track tape and my 8 track portable player. Listening to this song. Great vocals and instrumental. I could take the Ohio Players to the beach and funk to the tunes.
Absolutely love this takes me right back, along with BEEGEES and ABBA, disco was AMAZING, so was our lives back then, how wonderful would it be to experience this all again, 😊 makes me smile.
This is beyond awesome. Bring back the '70s.
Great music from my time.... going back a few years on this one.... Ohio Players... Love Rollercoaster.. I wont some funk tonight!!!!
And decades will pass and this song will continue to be heard by all generations, enjoy it as I have since its launch

I miss all the soulful bands like Ohio Players, EWF, Commodores and Isely Brothers that dominated this decade. And the live shows these groups did were the best! Stop all the same ole same ole music industry and get back to black folks making real music with instruments etc..... Thank you!
