	OHIO PLAYERS: Everything Is On The One
		The Players discounted any notions that they were content to rest on their laurels by charging back to the top of the charts in 1975 with aguably their finest album, Honey.
		By 1978, the Ohio Players were so mismanaged that they were reduced to playing Hollywood's tiny Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. The band produced their last record for Mercury and their final comprised of the post-Westbound configuration, Jass-Ay-Lay-Dee.

	Ohio State says no NCAA rules violations occurred at fundraising dinner - USATODAY.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ohio State's athletic department was handed three years of probation in March of 2006 stemming from seven violations which took place in the men's basketball program and one each in football and women's basketball — many of which involved extra benefits for athletes, particularly money given to two men's basketball players from Eastern Europe.
		Ohio State officials, with oversight from the NCAA, had been looking into whether the fundraiser violated NCAA bylaws regarding extra benefits for athletes and their families.
		Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said major problems were avoided because the players recognized that the fundraiser might be an extra benefit as defined by the NCAA.

	Ohio Players
		Ohio Players were signed as the house band for the New York-based Compass Records, backing singer Helena Ferguson on her lone hit, "Where Is the Party," before issuing their solo debut, "Trespassin'," which hit the R&B charts in early 1968.
		Ohio Players' trademark bottom-heavy, horn-driven sound was already blossoming, their follow-up, "It's a Cryin' Shame," flopped, and as Compass teetered on the brink of bankruptcy they exited the label.
		Ohio Players lineup made their debut with the single "Pain," issued on the small local label Rubber Town Sounds; it was soon picked up for distribution by the Detroit-based Westbound label, reaching the R&B Top 40 in late 1971.

		With their slinky, horn-powered grooves, impeccable musicianship, and eye-popping album covers, the Ohio Players were among the top funk bands of the mid-'70s.
		Emerging from the musical hotbed of Dayton in 1959, the group was originally dubbed the Ohio Untouchables, and initially comprised singer/guitarist Robert Ward, bassist Marshall "Rock" Jones, saxophonist/guitarist Clarence "Satch" Satchell, drummer Cornelius Johnson, and trumpeter/trombonist Ralph "Pee Wee" Middlebrooks.
		At Mercury, the Ohio Players enjoyed their greatest success; not only did their sound coalesce, but they became notorious for their sexually provocative LP covers, a tradition begun during their Westbound tenure.

		Fortunately, the Ohio Players' career was much more than their image, as they were one of the most popular bands of the era.
		Formed in the 1950s as the Ohio Untouchables, the group backed Wilson Pickett and became the house band of the short-lived Compass label, where they were able to make their first recordings.
		The Players continued with the solid Contradiction, scoring another #1 randb single on "Who'd She Coo" and the straight blues tale "Far East Mississippi." "O-H-I-O" was to be their last major hit, reaching the top 10 in 1977.

		The Ohio Players were during the period when Sly became "unpredictable" and the emergence of Parliment probably the most commercially successful of the Funk bands with many hit records.
		At the beginning of the 70's the Ohio Players were kinda like a "soul band", then they went off into a kind of "psychedelic blues/soul" band like Funkadelic was and they were even on the same label (Westbound Records).
		Your comment about OP being "players" made me think of something...for whatever reason, I was recently thinking about the image they tried to put across in their photos on at least Fire and Honey.

		It always seems strange to me how little coverage there is of The Ohio Players in blogland so consider this my first step in changing that for the better.
		What originally caught my eye with these funk fiends was their brilliantly over the top album covers for their westbound recordings, a mixture of overt sexuality and bizarre s&m featuring a rather scary bald woman.
		Formed at the very end of the 50's as the Ohio Untouchables before reforming as the Ohio Players in 1968, the group really hit form at the start of the seventies releasing at least one album a year throughout the decade and maintaining an amazingly high standard throughout.

		On a majority of the six extended cuts, the Ohio Players build some tantalizing riffs around skimpy vocal and lyric performances.
		And the rap — while in small doses an apt shorthand for the inviting insouciance of the album — is banal, even for music that serves primarily for partying or dancing.
		As the most commercial example of the innovative, insolent offspring of the Family Stone (along with the Funkadelic and Betty Davis), the group may be indispensable in popularly tempering the middle-of-the-road bent of current fl music.
