Customer Reviews
OK but dated funk
Interesting if you like 70s funk music. For me though, there is too much singing & not enough brass work - I preferred Earth Wind & Fire & early Kool & the Gang.A fun album but hard to see what the fuss was now.Best track for me is Who'd She Coo - catchy, OK vocals & nice horns. Even made the UK pop charts in the mid 70s.
Other highlights include Fopp with its slower, slightly menacing tone & Skin Tight, 1 of their early hits. Still lots of vocals but nice horns.
Top-notch, hard-driven funk
Purists may disagree, but this collection is better than any of the Ohio Players' individual albums. The Track listing says it all - Sweet Sticky Thing, Fire, Love Rollercoaster - songs that could fill a dancefloor in seconds. This is some of the best funk of the 70s. There are hard-edged, horn-driven tracks but the band shows there range with several smoother numbers as well. I can't recommend this collection enough.
