Customer Reviews:
Is it funky enough for ya?.......2007-07-29
I may be only 24 years old, but the Ohio Players are a great group. My favorite songs on this album are Fire, Skin Tight, and the hottest slow jam ever, Heaven Must be Like This. It is meant to make you jam. A true collector's item.
Memories.......2007-05-16
I moved to Chicago in the late 70's from Connecticut and I was blessed to work for the Ohio Players Personal Manager. I was 21 yrs old and it was my first job in the music industry. When I hear their music it brings back the exciting life that I lived and it brings back wonderful personal memories for me
True Funkmeisters.......2007-04-10
I was lucky enough to see these guys perform at a FREE outdoor concert in Lower Manhattan around 2002, and let me tell you, they were KICKIN' IT. The horn section was real tight, and the lead singer still has all the funk of his earlier years. It was truly a beautiful event!!!!!!!!
How can you NOT feel the funk of Roller Coaster or Skintight??!!
Ohio Playas.......2006-03-07
These are my homeboys from Ohio and they know how to throw a party! They have several CD's but this one does it for me with the two slow tracks I want to be Free and Heaven must be like this. Sugarfoot made a CD on his own which I like but I can't find. Does anyone know where to get it has songs on it like I'm your Sugar etc...
SERIOUSLY FUNKED UP!.......2005-05-21
This is one funked up album! I bought this cd, mainly for
Fire, and Love Rollercoaster. But Skin Tight, is really
great, and Sweet Sticky Thing is too! Almost every song
on here is good! If you have an ounce of soul in your
system, and you love funk, THIS IS A MUST HAVE!

Customer Reviews:
PLAYERS DOIN' THEIR THING ON THIS COLLECTION! .......2007-02-14
The Players may've been around since the 50's as a doo wop group, but these songs are where the group makes their "real debut" in r&b. Orgasm shows that the Ohio Players were an innovative funk band in their own right. At their best, they were clearly up to par with Funkadelic, Kool and the Gang, and the JB's.
If you listen to their songs on the surface, they don't seem all that unique. But their songs often had a sleazy edge that separated them from their comtemporaries (which is obvious from their playboy-ish album covers). Tracks like "Climax" drips with sexuality and "Laid It" can be a theme song for a Players Ball convention.
Overall these songs may not sound as fully realized as their Mercury records recordings, the seeds they were planting for commercial success makes this cd an essential purchase. If you already own the "Funk on Fire anthology", you need this to make your Ohio Players collection complete.
If you're havin' any doubts about purchasing this batch of funk, follow the advice that funky Granny gives in "Funky Worm"....... DON'T FIGHT THE FEELIN!
enter the players.......2001-10-25
good cd for the funklovers only, not as popular as skin tight, and fire but all op fans should have this plus funky worm was sampled to death, this features junie morrison way fo he went funkadelic, the tracks for those who cannot understand is a group in their prime trying lots of experimenting, and creativity along with it, unsung heroes of rock, and fusion,while the players played every style of music known to man in one song at that, and the songs are quality. this was one of few groups who could give funkadelic, a run for their money.
Vintage Funk from the Vaults of Westbound ! ! !.......2000-10-22
Its hard to believe that The Ohio Players and Funkadelic were once label mates... with the exception of the Junie Morrison connection. And like Funkadelic and a lot of other groups that left that label for bigger fame, the band might have gotten more polished, but NOT more funky.
Listen to this album to hear a band less dominated by Sugar's trademark voice and the trademark ARP string ensemble, but a very urban sounding funk band crossing various musical thresholds... the horns are agressive, Junie's organ sizzles... the tunes bump, the album covers titilate (wonder whatever happened to the bald chick ?)... There's nothing soft... Tune like Pain, Pleasure and the Funky Worm make you want to bump.
If you like this album, keep an eye out for Junie's solo albums (which seem to go in and out of print) and other groups from that label including THE COUNTS, Funkadelic, Eddie Hazel and occasional WESTBOUND compilations !
Must Have.......2000-03-03
I Just got this from Amazon and was floored by the Funk.I have most of their stuff from the Mercury Era but this Disc is Just as Tight.The Grooves are Just as Tight.Funky Worm&Pain Are Slamming.this Band was as Bad as any Group from Back in the day.there music is Timeless.
You can't get any better than this!.......1999-08-04
Finally, after all these years! All of the songs that put funk where it is today. Back then music was music and the Ohio Players lead the way. Every song on this cd is a hit! (or at least should've been). "Pain", "Pleasure" and "Funky Worm" are still slammin' nearly 30 years later. These guys were ahead of their time!

The Most "Hits" in one CD........2001-11-06
This CD has all of the songs of "Gold" with the exception of "Only a Child could Love". Plus six more songs including one of their hits "O-H-I-O". (Gold was originally released before "O-H-I-O came out) Also 7 of the songs are tracks from hard to find out-of-print albums (four are included on the "Funk on Fire" Anthology, however). However, the version of "Love Rollercoaster" is the shorter (single version I guess) than the one on Funk Anthology.
The Most "Hits" in one CD........2001-11-06
This CD has all of the songs of gold with the exception of "Only a Child could Love". Plus six more songs including one of their hits "O-H-I-O" which I like better than "Only a child could love" anyway. 7 songs of the songs are tracks from hard to find out-of-print albums (four are included on the "Funk on Fire" Anthology, however).
READ; This review is for "The Ohio Players Greatest hits" not "The Best of the Ohio Players"
Beware!!!.......1999-07-08
DO NOT BUY THIS! This is a completely lame collection, missing most of the band's best songs. Get the vastly superior Gold instead.
