About

By the time <i>Honey</i> was released in late 1975, listeners pretty much knew what to expect from the Ohio Players: groove, poise, and an unsettling amount of waist-down energy. Still, the sheer comprehensiveness of <i>Honey</i>—its humor, its physicality, its range—made the album stand out. You could call the Ohio Players a funk band, and, broadly speaking, you’d be right (as evidenced on “Love Rollercoaster” and “Fopp”). But in the hours-long jam sessions for <i>Honey</i> from which these songs were spun, you could pick out nearly every strain of modern Black music. .
