I'm so thankful to God for the timeless, beautiful music these brothas created. The greatest band of all times in my opinion. Thanks Ohio Players . SO LEGENDARY 🎵

Tommy Lewis

Lets not forget a simple fact about this musical time era, many bands could only afford limited time in the recording studio so they had to get it right in a short time. Not like today when folks can make a "hit song" on their phones. Much respect to 70's talented musicians and singers.

Cornelius Wade (Nuggy)

Totally agree with you. Well said.

Tommy Lewis

Cornelius Wade thanks Sir.

Summer Breeze

Nothing like the Ohio Players..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jacqueline Crump

This was one of the best bands ever. This band, Earth, Wind and Fire and Parliament Funkadelics were the greatest.

William Beckham

Amen & Amen...

It’s ashame they haven’t been inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the early pioneers of the group are gone. This band was one of my big bands in the 70,and in the 80’s!

I was a kid listening to my older sis music and I would stare at the album covers then and they still look good now along with the music. And, there is so many songs I never heard but sounds sooo good. The kids and young adults are really being cheated and if they don't listen to this type of music from back in the day how can they really truly appreciate good lyrics and music.
