The Musical Legacy of the Ohio Players with James “Diamond” Williams
It's not an understatement to suggest that the Ohio Players are one of the greatest bands of all time. They are an American national treasure, a band that truly broke the mold and changed the face of music forever.
The Players produced 17 Top 40 hits, 3 Platinum and 5 Gold albums, including masterpiece songs such as 'Skin Tight', 'Fire', 'Love Rollercoaster' and 'Who'd She Coo?
The Ohio Players' sound has been ingrained into modern popular culture. Their music has been used everywhere, from McDonald's commercials to The Sopranos.
In 2004 the Players were given a prestigious BMI Award for the use of the song 'Fire' on the TV show Hell's Kitchen. The Players also paved the way for the next generation of funkateers.
Samples of their music has enhanced the careers of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Ice-T, Beastie Boys, and Jay-Z and a great many others. Their songs have also been covered by a vast array of artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers.
After 50 years in the business this group is still setting stages on “Fire” and riding their own “Love Rollercoaster”.
