I love the Ohio Players. I've watched this video many times and still enjoying it even though the horn section and Billy Beck (on keyboard) is missing. But it's a "Reunion" gig and the O.P's got it together with those who were available. Surprised to finally see and hear Chet (on guitar) singing Beck's part on "Fire". And he did a good job !! Chet was rarely noticed in the past when they performed. He was usually far left on stage with Marshall (turban/ bassist) and the cameras rarely focused on them. But it was Chet, , Billy Beck (keyboard) and Diamond (drums) behind the scene singing those famous background vocals. Who else misses these Sinbad Old School Reunion concerts ????♥️♥️♥️
