This is Alex from Las Vegas I enjoyed when the Ohio Players are out here in Las Vegas playing at the wind Encore they gave a hell of a show come back and see us again in Las Vegas Alex and Myrna Trujillo in Las Vegas love you guys

[@TonyLoveRecords]

This is the best sounding version of "The Ohio Player's" that I've heard so far. I was feeling the lead vocals on Skin Tight by the keyboardist, the horn's sound great, the two guitarist along with Chet who has been with OP since way way back in the early 70's, so the originals are of course Diamond, Billy, Chet & Kuumba the percussionist. My opinion, but I feel that Diamond and company have managed to keep the torch burning, because one thing is absolutely certain in this life,and that's death & taxes. We have to all accept that some of the originals have gone on to meet their maker, but this group sounds great to me.

[@TurboMan51]

I agree the music is on point but the lead singer not so much..they need to find a Sugarfoot.

[@davelloyd9079]

TurboMan51 There was only ONE "Sugar". That's a once in a lifetime experience. If you are blessed, you watched him n the OPs rock during their best days. "Sugarfoot" was absolutely pivotal. He completed that group as a front man. That's rare. .. very rare. In his absence, the OPs just have never been the same. Time to let that horse rest I think. They'll certainly never get back that pure, old style funk. I was blessed to watch Sugar do his thang as a teenager!!

[@TurboMan51]

Yeaa I agree with ya..that is a by gone era.

[@anthonygert]

On point!!! ITS DONE............Atleast search for a sugarfoot type. Go to any homless shelter in the world,and you can find a sugarfoot! Thats where most of the talented musicians ended up! No joke Hip Hip Rap Thug Culture destroyed the black musician! The worst thing that ever happened. When hip hip was just something to listen to,that was one thing,but when it became a way of life,talk and culture,we went all the way back to the slave boat,and had a groove to go along with it! Ohio players was the best ever in the 70's and most creative. They held their own.........

[@mrsmusiclover]

Band sounds great but all of the real originals, meaning started with the band from the start and started the band are all gone

[@gralen]

I use to love them. I was in a band and we use to learn their songs. To be clear they were that easy to learn by ear. Skin tight we learn in about 10 minutes. I loved to learn them because they were one of the few bands that had a trombone player(both there brass players played trombone and trumpet). But it not the same as Sugar foot singing.I understand most of them are dead. May they rest in peace

[@7chunker]

THERE ARE 4 ORIGINAL MEMBERS CURRENTLY TOURING TODAY. DRUMMER - JAMES "DIAMOND" WILLIAMS, GUITARIST - CLARENCE "CHET" WILLIS, KEYBOARDS - WILLIAM "BILLY" BECK AND PERCUSSIONIST - ROBERT JONES KUUMBA.

[@TurboMan51]

+Cynthia Howard Heyy all this is kool but they need to find themselves a Sugarfoot..they are on the Soul Food Festival Tour coming to Augusta/Evans Georgia May 7 2016.

[@SHAQTV]

Cynthia Howard

[@7chunker]

Yes, I agree

[@TurboMan51]

I was at the Soul Food Festival and saw them live in living color and they need a Sugarfoot real bad.

[@tiha6708]

TurboMan51 No Sugarfoot = no players!

[@fraupollo7138]

My group favorite my best band in the world I grou up with hes music my song love role custer!!!! Fantastic!!!

[@weluvmusick]

Led Zepplin called it quits when they lost their drummer it looks like only 2 of the original members are left in the band the new music is fair at best in my opinion it’s the vocals that could use work the Ohio players were mainly known for Sugarfoot RIP those beautiful high harmonies and that real kick ass horn section

[@thepromiseman7745]

The Ohio players ain't the same anymore ...most of the original members are not here with us anymore

Thanks for the blessings. You stay safe too and keep jamming ......O.P.

@the promise man.... I hear ya bruh just like WAR, I don’t know any of the musicians now. Only Lonnie Jordan is left from the original band.

[@tiha6708]

Not the same without Foot. Like the Family Stone with no Sly. You concentrate more on who ain't there than who is.

I Know Satch & Pee Wee & more recently Sugarfoot are Passed on. But Diamond, Jones, Marv, & Billy Beck are still Kicking. Any of them still preforming?

[@davidtilley2262]

Marshall Rock Jones pass way too

[@rondmc44]

You still got Kuumba and Chet!

I was feeling this just like the bass player was he was handling his business 🎸🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽

Nice! Those horns are killin’.

[@vin-r5384]

Of course it’s not the same but what can you do. For a newer version I love it!

[@le_bam7]

That vamp around 8 min had me SHOOKETH!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@skinnyman1434]

White guy was not impressed. Whelp, the original Ohio Players set the bar so extremely high anything BUT them will fall shy. Now watch this same video again after the disappointment wears off and you'll see these Brothers are tight as heck. Diamond and Billy be serious with their music,Chet and Kuumba are still bringing the funk. Can you imagine the pressure of trying to sing SkinTight and Fire knowing everybody still wants Sugarfoot up there? I would love for ole boy to pull a Little Richard and Midway through Skin Tight just turn to the band and shut it down.Turn back to the audience and "Yeah, got yo face all lemoned up... Ain't no mo Sugarfoot, he's gone and there'll never ever be another,but the legacy is forever" then one of the horn players yells out "hell yeah and Marv,Pee Wee nor Satch is up here,but we're playing the heck outta these songs" then Billy says yeah you guys are doing that as the lead singer says " don't make no sense" then Diamond counts off 1 2 3 4 Hit it!! and they go back into the song.

[@sunflowerlove6489]

This is wat i'm saying this is real music i grew up on the ohio players my all time fave group in the mid 70's wow i miss sugafoot !!!!!!

[@anthonygert]

No................The lead singer is tired. He looks like a karoake singer. Sugafoot was very unqiue. The ohio players were unique,when you get some other players,you have to be careful. For white folks,it don't matter,all they see are blacks on stage with instruments. But when you are black from that time. It has a different meaning. They sound good,but just another band. No Magic... Sorry! Sugarfoot left an impression

[@anthonygert]

Right on Kelly lol

[@Diviaful]

Sugar was the Players. He was the ish.

[@russblack443]

Your comment is racist, I'm white and love the Ohio players and have been a fan my whole life and it does matter to me. There can be no Ohio players without Sugarfoot

[@jimy0803]

anthonygert You MUST be referring to the lead vocalist on "Skin Tight" in this performance because Billy Beck was actually the lead vocalist on "Jive Turkey" just as he was here. The problem was his mic was TERRIBLE on this particular show.

[@geraldthomas8241]

I loved how they threw in What The Hell in between.

[@lorettabooker5116]

I Love the Ohio players ❤️

[@christopherreed2694]

Well Chilli 🌶 thought they learned too its good to do your home work wen your heros are involved is all ill sayn

[@weluvmusick]

The horns are not as tight as the original section the guitars are fair but just not quite the same and what happened to the beautiful high harmony vocals I believed were originally performed by Billy Beck Diamond and Chet Williams

[@ifunk4ucgb]

...Really just a cover band now. No disrespect meant but come on..Sometimes when you lose the core,Satch & Pee Wee & more recently Sugarfoot and Jones,its just time to be done perhaps.

[@creatinepowder353]

which of these band members of The Ohio Players here are the originals members ?

[@skinnyman1434]

creatine powder None of them really, but Diamond the drummer joined on the Ecstasy album,Billy Beck the keyboard player wearing tie joined on the Skin Tight album, Chet, guitar player sitting down wearing glasses joined on Fire album(I think,maybe right before) and Kuumba,the conga player joined around the same time. Bass player has been with the group since late 90's.

[@KR-vk2wx]

@@skinnyman1434 .... Their lineup on the Westbound label, produced some of the best, if not underrated songs in the OP catalog. Pain, Pleasure, Ecstasy, Varee Is Love, Silly Billy and Funky Worm.

[@skinnyman1434]

KNOWyouright!! I still don't know if that's all Sugarfoot doing the guitar-talk on "Sleep Talk" or is that him and Junie going back and forth. "Our Love Has Died" with those background vocals probably inspired Bootsy when he went solo.
