It was the high pitch three way vocals of Billy Beck, Diamond and Chet background that made me a number one fan as a ten year old by the time " Love rollercoaster "went to number one. Also Billy singing Co lead with Sugarfoot.
I first heard the Ohio Players with Diamond on the drums early 1973. He is the greatest his drumming is phenomenal. No one kicks like he does . Thank you Diamond for the great drumming.
J. D. Williams was my influencer to make me start learning and playing Percussions and Drums 🥁. His beats were so damned Inovative and way before his time. And the way his Drums were micked up were amazing. ❤❤. Born and raised in Cleveland O. H. and a DIME Playa!
When I first fell in love with diamond was on the song I wanna be free. I have never heard nothing that damn good before as solos he did on the four chorus of I wanna be free. No I’m not saying that he didn’t do no great work in the other songs like fire but I wanna be free. Oh and sweet sticky thing. Amazing.
Sad thing is they would forced the drug up their nose while they slept. Very sad. These folks could have refused when asked and going through this is really sicking.
Graham Central Station was on tour with the Ohio Players . Graham Central Station killed them. People were walking out on the Ohio Players when the band was playing their hit Fire. In Columbia S.C. I was there and saw that for myself.
Absolutely THE greatest harmonies in all of 70s R&B!
Diamond Is A National Treasure
Diamond Is One Of The Greatest Unique Drummers Ever. He Has A Sound All His Own. Smooth Jazz Polished Funk Percussion With Class.

His drumming skills on those 2 tracks were phenomenal ❤. His trap set always sounded like Roiiling Thunder.
His drumming skills on those 2 tracks were phenomenal and his Drums on every track sounded like Rolling Thunder❤
Was not an original member ;only from 1974
1973 Ecstasy album is when this legend came on the scene.
He joined the group in 1972
Is there interview footage of the OP from the 1970s?
I have only seen after-performance television interviews, like on American Bandstand.
These are the artist that deserve reparations because they are the pioneers of Black Music.
They each deserve 1 million to start.
Hi Diamond this is yo girl foxy brown from Rochester NY I don't know if. We live. Now but Holla back if u can😊😊
When are you guys going to release some more new music?!
You wet our whistle with RESET now come on with the rest, a new OP album would be the bomb!
That's how the music industry work. I played drums professional for 8 years. You get a lot women and a lot of drugs, but never enough money.
