Ahh 70's funk. Earth, Wind and Fire, P-Funk, War, AWB, Slave,and of course, the unmatched musicianship, expressiveness, anda**-shakin' GROOVE of Ohio Players. Sure there's a few tracks I'd like to have from Honey and Fire, but nothing you can't live without, and as for what they DID include on Gold, there's not a clinker here. "Skin Tight" is just as good as it gets, did you here that dropped beat at the end of the chorus?! Damn, that's some funky s***! "Fire" was like the new national anthem when it came out. I remember tuning that radio dial, with my ear up close, listening for that siren -- SOMEBODY'S got to be playing Fire, cuz I want to hear it right f***ing now! "Yeaaah unh-huh... FIH-YUH!!"

Whew! They don't make bass players and drummers like those guys any more. They don't exist. Horn players? Forget it. And those vocals! That falsetto dude ripped a hole in my speaker. I remember seeing Ohio Players on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Now we got MTV. Sigh... END

This collection of the Ohio Players' old-school funky best should be in every collection...the music is tight, the singing is loose, and the songs burn. "Fopp" is the classic here, but together with "Skin Tight," "Sweet Sticky Thing," amd eight more makes a killer party album that'll get the right parts bumping all night long.

I love this album this is a great compilation of the Ohio Players it is missing a few songs but overall I really do like it. I think that it is great material done by some great musicians. I enjoy this album it conatins many of my favorites. But it is missing "Heaven" isn't on here. But, I enjoy the other songs on here as well it is a treat and a must have for any Ohio Players fan. My favorites are : Free, Skin Tight, Love Rollercoaster, and many other great songs. I would recommend any fan of the Ohio Players to buy this album.

this group gives up the goods on this gem.this group was as good as any funk band from the 70's.fire,roller coaster,skin tight are mad jams.i want to be free with baddest drum opening ever on record.the horns were funky.sugarfoot is a genius.the band paved the way for other funk groups out of ohio.this music is still banging.
