Ohio Players live

[@waynefoote3781]

Diamond And Billy beck were a HUGE part of the vocals. Sugarfoot rounded the rest off and Chet of course is a part of the equation especially live. These are Historical Geniuses for music and they deserve at least 20 Grammys in my opinion!

Unfortunately , the band only received one Grammy and that was for the cover of the Honey album. They also should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@@loosescrews8106 They really should! And ...These people at the grammys etc they just don't get it for the most part. It is all about who they want to promote.

This Ohio Players bassist has been with them since 1988. It's impossible to find an interview with him. He's great to watch.

He’s Funky!

That is Darwin Dortch, He was the featured bassist on the "Back" album in 1988. He has been an active member of the band since that time. That is 36 years of touring and performing with the band.

In case anyone missed it, Skin Tight was capped off with "What the Hell", the last cut from the "Fire " album.

[@loosescrews8106]

@@stpaulimdog That is James "Diamond " Williams. The one and only. The drummer for the band began in 1972 and he is #72 on the list of 100 greatest drummers. That is over 50 years of holding it down for the band and carrying on the legacy.
