man....I was going to Slave practice in 1983 as lead singer and I ran right into Brotha SATCH...he said hey man ....who is you? You look like someone I think i know man....and i almost had a heart attack at age 20 man, I said I am the new lead singer for Slave and he hugged me and gave me a slap me 5 .........said good luck young man...he then said ..you go on to practice young man. now THAT is an unbelievable experience! I had just moved to Dayton OHIO from Daly City just outside San francisco California. I went on to sing and co-write "Steppen out" on bad enough album then all of the lead vocals on "new Plateau" album Thank you so very much SATCH!

Cool story! Y'all brought the funk too. I'm from Michigan, but I gotta give Y'all props when it comes to the funk. Y'all, The Ohio Players, Lakeside, Zapp. Even Bootsy is from the Natti. Must be something in the water there. Funk on!

Grew up in the lily-white 'burbs of Cincinnati during the 1970s; all my buds and I loved the 'Players and idolized Leroy Bonner. We would go around saying, "Say What?", trying to sound like Leroy and imitating those dance moves like Re-Run on "That's my Mama". :-) Miss those years dearly.

For those that don't know, Maurice was a snare drummer in high school marching band. Through his career ended up becoming the drummer for the "Ramsey Lewis trio" . Then founding member of "Earth wind and fire". So the drums are a big influence on their style, with horns brother Fred on drum set, brother Verdine on bass, Philip and Ralph on Congos. The greatest group I've ever seen in concert. Awesome 🥁🥁🎵🎶!

The one, the only, The Ohio Players! I'm so glad that I grew up during this incredible era of great music...Funk! The impact it had on me not only as a listener, but as a musician, is undeniable and speaks volumes. Groups like The Brothers Johnson, Cameo, Parliament Funkadelic, Con Funk Shun, Graham Central Station, etc. Leroy "Sugar Foot" Bonner (Lead Vocalist and Guitarist of The Ohio Players) had one of the most unique and recognizable voices in r&b and funk ever. His voice was the "Pure Personification of the sound of Funk in and of itself period! Other than "Larry Blackmon" (Vocalist and Drummer for the group) "Cameo", which I'm sure his vocal style was "heavily influenced" as a direct result of "Bonner" which came before him. It saddens me that "Sugar Foot" didn't get his just due and accolades as a guitarist and musician. Whether he played great rhythm guitar riffs (Love Rollercoaster) or hot rock guitar solo's (Fire) or even great jazz guitar (Sweet Sticky Thing), he played it all and very well I might add. James "Diamond" Williams was and still is one of my favorite all-time drummers. Brotha Man had a "Foot" that sounded like it was gonna "Blow Up Your Speakers" when he played! Those "Tasty Quadruple Kicks" he would "sneakily" implement somehow within the groove was truly a thing of beauty. Or how he would masterfully "reverse the groove" and then get back into "pocket / sync" without you even realizing it, (he did this on "Love Rollercoaster" as well as other songs). His innate ability to do this always left me absolutely "Awestruck", as to how "tight" this brotha'z "skills" were. I laugh because he really played like a "Rock Drummer" in a "Funk Band". His completely over the top drum solo's on the slow r&b classic jam (I Want To Be Free) has become legendary / signatory to his "fiery" playing style. Last and certainly not least, my main man Marshall "Rock" Jones always held down the "bottom and groove" with some great "Sly" funky bass playing. As a bassist myself I love playing the bassline from (Skin Tight) because it's so "smooth, funky and rhythmic". Round off the band with a killer horn section and keyboardist, and The Ohio Players has truly gone down in the annals of Funk History as one of funks greatest bands.

People today don't know how innovative the Ohio Players were back then. They were the first to do this new style of "FUNK" and it was amazing. We couldn't get enough of the Ohio Players back then. Everywhere you went to party, they were playing the hell out of the Ohio Players, and not to forget Sly Stone. Both were funky as hell. Before the Rick James and Cameo's and even before Parliament Funkadelic with George Clinton hit it big in the early 80'. These guys were doing funk in the 70's on another new level. It was a great time for music in the 70's

The Ohio Players were one of the best bands of the 1970's regardless of genre but I always felt that they never got the recognition they deserved. R.I.P. Leroy Sugarfoot Bonner, Clarence Satch Satchell,Ralph Pee Middlebrooks,Marshall Rock Jones.

Robert Brown for me I always thought of them as like trailblazers in the funk community if you will. Those Kat's paved the way for a lot of other good bands. I don't think they got the recognition they deserved either.
