[@Sok10253]

One of my favorite groups of all times

[@ShaShaLuva414]

I just come here to say, The Ohio Player in my time was, One ☝🏽 Of The BADDEST LIVE, REAL ENTERTAINERS in my the Soul Music Industry. I love MY Generation of music 😊Why ? Because we were introduced to Live, Real Music, Along with other LIVE Bands, examples Earth, Wind and Fire, I guess we can say that was what it was during that Musical History. My grandkids rock to our Music when they visit.

[@larryburkett1173]

They deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame

I loved this group so much, there sound was everything. 🎉❤😊

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

How you talking about Junie Morrison and showing video footage of Billy Beck?

[@kayrobbie5840]

They always have wrong pictures with wrong names and mispronounciations of them.

[@loveroflife8852]

Yup, pisses you off!

[@ChromaticHarp]

@@kayrobbie5840 the AI robot voice can’t pronounce Shizzle.

[@yodawisecrushTWT]

THEY WENT OFF ON PLEASURE A MASTER CLASSIC

[@o.b.v.i.u.s]

uh, pretty lame vid... it's all old news, nothing that hasn't been out for years... the AI voice can't pronounce "bassist" or "saxophonist"... and the video misidentifies members repeatedly...

[@ChromaticHarp]

Man I HATE This Ai voice !!! Lame!!

[@keithharris1672]

Yep.

[@HansumTrini]

😂😂

[@jcortega5134]

OMG been living wth that "scream" rumor since Jr. high,,man that was 45 yrs ago!!!;

[@chenoalaurencin]

LOL you watched the whole thing

[@evaabdullahi5240]

The drummer in this video is Jimmy Williams. He’s alive and well. The guitarist to the left is Clarence Willis.

[@NixonKeith-es1bb]

In the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's alot of talented funk, soul & r&b musicians came out of Ohio.

[@thepromiseman7745]

The Ohio players are the baddest hard core funk group ever to come from Dayton ohio been a big fan of theirs since I was 9 years old and still is today i seen these guys and met them a few times over the years i know most of the original members are no longer here ... like. Leroy sugarfoot bonner .... marshall rock jones .... Ralph pee wee Middlebrooks ...and Clarence satchel . And few others but the Ohio players are still touring and going strong with new band members but they don't want be good as the original members ... this clip is from unsung

[@vickimayfieldcamacho8455]

I thought so.

[@majik31401]

NOT ALL OF THIS IS FROM UNSUNG

[@ShanningDu-eb1db]

Heatwave had a lot of tragedies. Similar origins.

[@michaelmcpherson82]

Salute ..Scott brown......nice interview ...I remember starting our band .in ur garage as kids...on marsh street in Rochester NY...love u bro @

[@valentineluann]

.Rochesterian here who grew up with those great garage bands. That funky sound will never be forgotten.

[@lordeldauoud142]

Bless all the members and former members of Ohio players, I give you the highest props, the tune, sweet sticky thing was fantastic and out of this world well done Ohio players those who passed rest in peace and those are still alive. Bless you bless all of you and thank you. Yes yes.

[@BenJohnson-aka-TheVoiceFM]

[@anthonystewart4552]

When Pain hit I was 18 years old gettin high in my Dorm with my home boys We played the grooves out of that alblum

[@MacFizzer]

While they are talking about satchel, they are showing Sugar foot🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ericbranch7299]

[@gordong9041]

There was (and still is) a Huge rivalry between Michigan (U of M) and Ohio (OSU), but in Ann Arbor in the 70's , EVERYBody at U of M Loved the OP's from Dayton, OH.

[@mknightyt]

The scream was from a person at Kings island where the coaster sound was sampled it was in the liner notes

[@HighGek]

One of best out there with the coolest album art, I would these on my wall.

[@kidrich6902]

😱 Somebody said the Culture has forgotten the Mighty Ohio Players, Nah never many times we've Sample your music & forget Sugarfoot with the rest of the original guys in the group, you know it's alot of us from that era of music has passed on to but the rest of us that's left will never forget what The Ohio Players has Contributed to the Culture & the Society as a Whole, Yah Bless & keep you most Talented Brother & Sista's RIP 🙏🎸🎙️🎶

[@hiyall2005]

Loved Ohio Players

[@danielramsey197]

As one of my favorite comedians would say...welcome to America! Uncle demands his!

[@RogerHiggins]

The Players were right up there with EW&F. Dig it! 😎

[@LorettaBooker-ev9kd]

I Love You sugar foot

[@clementwilliams5502]

I still have some of their music in my archive.

[@neilsoulman]

Great documentory, didn't really see anything breaking though, but: on the love roller coaster scream, lol, that member you refrenced was Billy Beck, was how you said though, Billy was trying to make the sound like someone on a rollercoaster ride.

[@HardyNahtal]

13:27 “Shockingly!!?” 😂😂😂 profit over people is always the thing

[@jeffrey.classicgamesjones2332]

Love the Ohio players Legend my favorite honey

[@michelecarter3403]

The song #Fire was an old church debitional song that they re-did without offending anyone; they definitely made it theirs.

[@carouselred8994]

Clickbait bullshit. When Clarence Satchel is first mentioned a pic of Clarence Clemons is shown. GTFOH.

[@Ricardo-x1t1n]

Whatever the case,these dudes made a hell of a statement. I was in 5th grade when funky worm hit! The rest is history. Sugarfoot put his foot into their style and aint nothing you can say but they did the damn thang!

[@DannyBaldwin-l1b]

😎 Dayton where " Funk" began 😎

[@riseabove1168]

Honey...was incomprehensible!!!

[@craigpryor5403]

The vid showed Billy Beck As Walter JUNIE Morrison

[@sweett3469]

I didn't like it when they played at the State Fair in Baton Rouge years ago..and I invited my friend terry to go with me and they threw an Ohio Players T-shirt to Terry and she didn't want to go! That Amazon snake!....but other than that my old coworker knew sugar foot and she called him and let me hear his voice on the phone..he was sooo cool😊R.I.P.

[@Netbe277]

Sugah Foots 💝💐🤲🏾

[@miguelsantiago5689]

I want to be free!!

[@jcortega5134]

FKN can't believe this GREAT BAND isn't n RRHoF WTF ?!?!?!?

[@louisabrams9590]

I respect them for leading the way for the Dayton connection lead by the baddest band in the land lakeside along with zapp heatwave sunn slave an plenty more

[@MatthewMcdonald-h4h]

Sad, why you must know the business and have financial awareness. I saw him suga foot, in 2013. He was high as the sky.

[@queenfba003]

😮 Glad I met Suga Foot in 1976 and he was focused and no addict.

[@johndasilva2686]

Great band the guys that started off the funk bands from ohio. Their must be something in the water in ohio. Eg Slave Heatwave Lakeside Zapp Aurra Dayton Isley brothers Ojays Frank Mccomb and the Ohio players all came from the land of funk ohio. Great post.

[@kathykiddentertainment5305]

The rumor I heard was that she died because the honey was put all over her body, or something stupid like that! 😂😂😂 #KathyKiddEntertainment!!

[@queenfba003]

She didn't die 35 years ago. Rumors

[@pelotonpro048]

Never heard the, "rumour," and wouldn't have believed it anyway. Doesn't even sound plausible. I tended to eschew pop culture rumours. They never had any veracity.

[@reisebus-m4j]

I remember hearing that chic died due to suffocation that is, due to being covered in Honey, her skin couldn't breathe. That was in the 70s in L.A. This brought back memories.

[@travismclaurin9419]

I know few members of the group didn't have much to say about EWF.

[@craigford4641]

Oh ! Ok ! Just another crappy documentary AI video about a spectacular R@B Band ! 🙃🙃🙃😞

[@gracegeltmacher9878]

I heard that someone got murdered on the roller coaster itself

[@louisegross3886]

Mmm all up in the seventies they were the group back in the day fire got me burning got me burning lol

[@louisegross3886]

Skin tight yep

[@andredblake6848]

That's false she didn't die

[@stanleyhall6801]

A lot of the live footage it's not even the Ohio Players it's a band called Con Funk Shun

[@charlesbrown7239]

Wrong pictures of juni😮….this is a sham….

[@magicalnight48]

I’ve never moved on and even sent money showing my support when y’all were talking about making an album in 2014. You promised a copy of it and a shoutout on your album cover. I never asked for either even though you never delivered.

[@roderickforeman7917]

C’mon y’all they made music but live they were terrible…A great studio group

[@schelewilliams4245]

None of this crap is true. Clearly you don’t know the Ohio players history you don’t have basic easily googled facts right. What a disgrace to try to bring down Black Funk Legends. Shame on you.

[@SOCOLEMUSIC]

This shit suck all info. and pics are crossed up!

[@Truckngirl]

Too bad this is an AI composed and spoken piece. The Ohio Players deserve better.

[@keithharris1672]

hooshuku ?

[@saj8]

Click. Bait.

[@PeterMayer]

Bahsist?

[@d-raheru3257]

Good video but don’t like the AI narrator. People need to use their own voice when content creating.

[@gregwolley3327]

What a disjointed "documentary". Strange to keep showing bandmembers playing decades lster their 70's when the narrator is talking about them when they where in their 20"s. There should be narration by someone who lived through the Ohio Players career, not just reading a script.

[@desserieshaw937]

I love you

[@moreycleveland2472]

MY LAST NAME IS CLEVELAND

[@AlmonRaphael]

Yea you stretching on this one...the AI narration ain't believable...I'm a big fan, and some of what I hear, ain't true...😖👈🏽

[@olliealexander6291]

Do y'all lie about everything

[@topazrichmond7426]

Thumbs down this is a bunch of junk toss together.
