These brothers were making music with real instruments. No computers, real sounds. That's how I grew up with music. Blessed to born in 1962 real music. I'm not complaining about today. Just different eras is all....
This song was bumped all day long n the 70’s as were other Ohio Players songs. I remember riding the school bus and the driver would play the radio and all of the kids myself included would sing along with the Ohio Players this was n the 70’s....great fun and wonderful memories. What a great decade to b a teenager.😁✌🏿
THAT was a cool bus driver!🎉🎉 I bet nobody on your bus had fights or caused trouble after cruising to school singing to the infamous O H I O PLAYERS!!!! Good times🎉🎉🎉 jam on it!🥳🥳😎😎💓💥🙌🤜
I was jamming this in elementary school, with War,&other great funky groups,EWFs Gratitude was about to be released,not to mention Dr.Funkenstein,70s music was the sh****tttt!!!
We are truly God's property! If you grew up in the 60's and 70's you were able to experience our people on a higher frequency and spirituality. We still had our own dress code ,our own language and even a decent amount of businesses. Integration gentrification along with the drug plague really put us in a trick bag .

"Top 40" radio stations became painfully full of cheep, commercial copies of disco in the '70s. I switched to Atlanta's 'Soul' stations, discovering Funk and real music like Ohio Players. Probably helped save my musical sanity! 📻 🎸🎼🎵🎶
One of the funkiest basslines ever. Great band. Happy to say ,i met them in NJ at the Newark Symphony Hall, when they opened for Mandrill..Awesome guys!
Salute! Magical seventies here with the song Skin tight running neck to neck with Brick house by commondores who wouldn't or wish for that era it's was 🎉 back to back excitement I lived it 🎉🎉🎉
April 23, 1974: The Ohio Players release their first #1 album. One of the funkiest groups in the funkiest decade, the Ohio Players became the template for a generation of Midwest jamming groups. And on this day (April 23) in 1974, the group finally hit big time pay dirt, releasing their signature album and their first #1 disc, the iconic Skin Tight.
@@jacobbyerson5075 Their first studio album "Observations in Time" was released in 1969, but their FIRST #1 album was indeed "Skin Tight" released in 1974 which also went Platinum. They also had two other #1 Platinum albums released in 1974, "Fire" and "Honey" but their first #1 album was "Skin Tight."
This is one of the numbers we played in a disco band. This and The Wiz, Ease on Down the Road, Tangerine, were top crowd pleasers. I played trombone. Had to split when I began college.
Really cool, sophisticated stuff. Chicago and them had some great horn sections back in the day. Incredible music and we took it all for granted because there were so many great bands.
Skintight is timeless :these guys were heroic in there playing style ;way better than EWF;but radio deejays liked the other groups more ,Ohio players were ahead of there time .
My favorite All-Time band! I am a child of the 70s and a devout Soul/Funk Music Fanatic. The bassists, horn players, percussionists, composition, rhythm and timing were "off the chain." This band was unrivaled!
Are they a rock band?I love them but if you put them in the RHOF,then I guess the country music hall next?It would be like putting the Rolling Stones in R&B category.
FAZO, Slave, Dayton, Roger Troutmam & Zapp, Shirley Murdock and of course The State Players. Dayton was funky as a batch of old collars greenz back in the day. DeSoto Bass
complex cord progression, it seems like the instruments are moving with different timing then it blends back together, really amazing. wish I knew music well enough to explain it. lol
It was the best of times, Remember when people could actually dance! No offense intended, and the women were 36-24-38 (tight). Love these guys.Sweet Sticky Things....
Funny thing...in the spring of 1973, I was living in Urbana,IL and listened to WLS out of Chicago, and they played the Ohio Players' first hit, Funky Worm. While I enjoyed it, to me it was a borderline novelty hit, and I figured I'd never hear from them again. Moving up a year and a half, I was in Brooklyn NY listening to 99X (WXLO) and they played Skin Tight, and I was like, OK, these guys are for real. That was followed by their first #1 Fire, than about a year later their 2nd #1, Love Rollercoaster. Goes to show, you don't know sometimes.
Music that had guys that played instruments. Wow, what a concept. They also called woman ladies instead of hoes or bitches. These guys along with Parliament, Sly, and Earth, Wind and Fire truly were a force!!!! Oh... can't forget Tower of Power.
If you can find an old 45 in your grandparents collections, do yourself a favor and look at the time of the songs.... They were all 2 to 4 minutes... That's it...... Tunes were amazingly short until Disco arrived
Who’s watching this video in 2024 besides me? I was just 16 yrs old when this song was a hit. Love The Ohio Players!
Was 14.
I am watching SKIN TIGHT 2024
@@chrissy54ful one of my fav groups loll
One of the baddest bass lines there ever was!
U never lied 👍🏾👍🏾
They don't have bands like this anymore, doing real singing and playing real musical instruments!
I really miss these good old days!!!!
Bruno Mars
@@Healthy10101Ramiyah Bruno is fake
I wish we still had the technology to have electric instruments without cords….
That's right! Most rap sounds repetitive.
They still do. Check out Christone Ingram, Samantha fish, Eric Gales, just to name a few, you need to get out more often

Well said! My teen years in the 70's were magnificent. The Ohio Players made some of that possible.
@@OpusDeFocus 😁
That’s funny, when I was in school the bus would play wvko local black radio station. We used to jam all the way to school. 😂😂
THAT was a cool bus driver!🎉🎉
I bet nobody on your bus had fights or caused trouble after cruising to school singing to the infamous O H I O PLAYERS!!!! Good times🎉🎉🎉 jam on it!🥳🥳😎😎💓💥🙌🤜
The best, never tire of hearing the Ohio Players!!!
Groovy song and a groovy group
I love Ohio players one of the best band's from the 70's

I grew up at a great time in R & B.

Facts
The Ohio Players are one of my favorites. Tight bass runs, wicked horn section and great vocals! I'm a SoCal white boy.
Beautiful funk and soul they played with precision and love for their craft!❤❤
I am the only white boy on the block that would play the Ohio Players. I am 63 so you do the math. Sugar was smooth. Still play his albums. Peace
@richardpage7106 No doubt ....... "Sugarfoot" was a helluva frontman
Year from the year erawhen everything was just smooth and great
Yes
You were not alone

Sugar foot was one the coolest R&B artists from the 70’s!
Some of the baddest cats that ever lived!
Indeed they was to cool omg!!
They were the greatest group ever in music history
One of the truest comments ever posted on the internet! 🥂👍🏽👍🏽

I Love You Sugar foot ❤️ OHIO PLAYERS FOREVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the numbers we played in a disco band. This and The Wiz, Ease on Down the Road, Tangerine, were top crowd pleasers. I played trombone. Had to split when I began college.
Real music to any and everyone's ears. "I see your foot TAPPING."
Really cool, sophisticated stuff. Chicago and them had some great horn sections back in the day. Incredible music and we took it all for granted because there were so many great bands.
We thought it would never go away 💋
Skintight is timeless :these guys were heroic in there playing style ;way better than EWF;but radio deejays liked the other groups more ,Ohio players were ahead of there time .
WHERE DID THIS MUSIC GOOOO!!!!!
The bass line-A1... the breakdown-A1.... The Brass- A1.... The SugaFoot vocals-A1... The 70's threads-A1.... This is an incredible tune .. luvit...
👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾
My favorite All-Time band! I am a child of the 70s and a devout Soul/Funk Music Fanatic.
The bassists, horn players, percussionists, composition, rhythm and timing were "off the chain." This band was unrivaled!
Should be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!
They played all there own instruments
Sugarfoot (Untouchables) finally and rightfully received their just due's as one of the tightest, most imitated bands and lead singers.
He had a distinctive voice. Everybody tried to copy his sound, even Maurice White.
Those horns. The organ. Somebody please.
Amazing music
Oh yeah this was the stuff man back in the day still is now listening from Detroit Michigan
My first concert was the Ohio Players ❤
Real, proper music! Ohio Players are wicked!
It was cool how Sugarfoot gave Billy Beck a shout out near the end of the song.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No wonder I danced to this kind of music for long periods of time back in the day; it's so damn GOOD!!!!!
The definition of the Ohio players simply Leroy sugarfoot Bonner
Leroy Bonner brings a smile to my face everytime. Won't tell you why! Lol🥂
Ohio player should be in rock and roll hall of fame true robbery
Honey
👍👍👍👍👍
Are they a rock band?I love them but if you put them in the RHOF,then I guess the country music hall next?It would be like putting the Rolling Stones in R&B category.
Q: HOW IN THE FLYING FUCK IS THIS ROCK MUSIC??
A: IT ISN'T
Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of great bands came out of Ohio.
True
The list is definitely long!
Dayton, in particular.
FAZO, Slave, Dayton, Roger Troutmam & Zapp, Shirley Murdock and of course The State Players. Dayton was funky as a batch of old collars greenz back in the day. DeSoto Bass
Big Props to all the classic west side roller skaters that made this jam # 1 on the chart and use wear it out on the wheels of steel.
That guitar Solo towards the end was fire!!!!!! I wish it had more minutes.
complex cord progression, it seems like the instruments are moving with different timing then it blends back together, really amazing. wish I knew music well enough to explain it. lol
Among the great groovemasters. That was a great time for funky bands. Thanks to the master, JB.
For sure, alot of 70s bands should be in hall of fame. Nothing like the 70s. Ever again. Sadly
I love this song
The music, theoutfits, it allcomes back tomenow.wowwie.
I saw them live at the 76 Expo in Chicago. One of the best shows I saw that year.
Wow I haven’t heard this one in years. I loved this back in the day when it came out.
I wore this at our last company christmas party SECURITY escorted me out...
Lmfao
It was worth it ;this funk is amazing # you the man
Lol bruh 😭😭😂😂😂
Wish I could see more video footage of these guys! Awesome band from Ohio!
It was the best of times, Remember when people could actually dance! No offense intended, and the women were
36-24-38 (tight). Love these guys.Sweet Sticky Things....
snowstorm1956
Skin tight!
36-24-38? Only if she's 5'3"
The Ohio players made the baddest double bumping cuts 2020

Truly rock and roll hall of fame worthy..

They were having so much fun CLASSIC
I think Ohio Players were just before Sly and the Family Stone, had both in the 8-track collection in the 70’s
These Boyz are some bad bro’s. The 70s was banging, even their choreograph had it going.Stiffer than a mother-fucker. Ha ha ha
Some of the bad cats that plays good music Love it keep on
Respect the real truth! Yes
Real music, real musicians. Just like Prince said!!
SMOOTH LIKE THAT COGNAC.
Ay🎉🎉🎉🔥🎼🏆♥️🎸⭐
Love it!!
Greatest band ever!
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Junior high dance. I wore brown bell bottom slacks and a hunter green shirt and black vest and tan and black platform shoes. I was looking good
Some Bad Ass Afro’s in this clip 👌
Those are my boys right there they had some bad outfits on .....The Ohio players
Tall brotha with the fro playing the trumpet was too cool for school 😎 🎺
Good stuff
"....go on, girl...walking, walking, talking, talking mama....yeah, Lord, ah...."---The Ohio Players
