"Top 40" radio stations became painfully full of cheep, commercial copies of disco in the '70s. I switched to Atlanta's 'Soul' stations, discovering Funk and real music like Ohio Players. Probably helped save my musical sanity! 📻 🎸🎼🎵🎶

This song was bumped all day long n the 70’s as were other Ohio Players songs. I remember riding the school bus and the driver would play the radio and all of the kids myself included would sing along with the Ohio Players this was n the 70’s....great fun and wonderful memories. What a great decade to b a teenager.😁✌🏿

We are truly God's property! If you grew up in the 60's and 70's you were able to experience our people on a higher frequency and spirituality. We still had our own dress code ,our own language and even a decent amount of businesses. Integration gentrification along with the drug plague really put us in a trick bag .

April 23, 1974: The Ohio Players release their first #1 album. One of the funkiest groups in the funkiest decade, the Ohio Players became the template for a generation of Midwest jamming groups. And on this day (April 23) in 1974, the group finally hit big time pay dirt, releasing their signature album and their first #1 disc, the iconic Skin Tight.

Phenomenal band with great musicians (and that drummer, James "Diamond" Williams wow) yes they were popular but they should have been a lot bigger than they got. And those 3 killer albums all in a row at their peak ("Skin Tight," "Fire," and "Honey")!! Like 50 years later and still play them. When it came to music, the 70's had it all.

Funny thing...in the spring of 1973, I was living in Urbana,IL and listened to WLS out of Chicago, and they played the Ohio Players' first hit, Funky Worm. While I enjoyed it, to me it was a borderline novelty hit, and I figured I'd never hear from them again. Moving up a year and a half, I was in Brooklyn NY listening to 99X (WXLO) and they played Skin Tight, and I was like, OK, these guys are for real. That was followed by their first #1 Fire, than about a year later their 2nd #1, Love Rollercoaster. Goes to show, you don't know sometimes.

Ooooo man! Could these guys get down with the get down? I used to roller skate my butt off from about 1968 to 1980ish... Now I realize I could get busy on those 8 wooden wheels lol. But I remember when ANY Ohio Players song would come on...no matter if I was swooning over my little crush back then or having a pretzel and coke at the snackbar... I would take off like a mo-fo to get out on that skate floor to jam! lol Gosh... I sure do know now...what my grandma meant when she said “ if I only knew then what I know now?!?!” lol meaning... I would have had self esteem and confidence 😞 Oooo and how much I wishhhh we would have had cellphones with video recorders and KZitem back then! My kids and grandkids would probably be shockedddd if they could see how I could get doWWwwNNnnn lol... Well hmmm? Maybe not a good thing... they may need therapy...if they saw me hittin every beat and sometimes going faster than the speed limit in a school zone?!?! lol @myself again Sry for the long rambling... It’s just nice to have a place where maybe someone else will understand my love and memories...for these songs 🥰 When I try to tell my hubby about these great times...he just doesn’t understand...he’s a “rocker” and he was one of the kids that only skated a few times in his life...I was there 2-4 times a week?!?! lol

Now this is real music with talent that can really sing and play instruments and dress the part too. I'm glad to have lived in that era of some really great times, that also consisted of some of the all time greatest, in my belief and opinion, who's music and as black artists and musicians, well they could actually really sing and perform in ways that's still not comparable anyone that's present and living in this time and age of black music. And the only reason these black artists and their music isn't listed as the all time greatest of all time, because in the majority of people, black people can out sing, dance and perform any race on this planet earth living or dead, but like always in almost everything else in life, because of racism, they just aren't getting their just dues, like racist Elvis Pressly endorsed by racist people, isn't the true king of Rock & Roll, that's black too.😒
