About
In 1974, the Ohio Players went on <i>Soul Train</i> to play a new song called “Skin Tight.” After introducing the band members by name and astrological sign, band member Clarence Satchell took questions from the audience, including a woman named Vicky, who asked how they would classify their sound. “Smart,” Satchell replied. He’d just just gotten off the stage after playing a song that opened with the line, “You’re a bad, bad missus/In them skin-tight britche.” But where Parliament had its interstellar mythologie, and Sly and the Family Stone its messages of social progre, the Ohio Players played funk as pure body music: tough, pleasurable, grounded, and direct. Intellectual? Maybe not. But, like a perfectly fitted suit or a clean new haircut, very <i>smart</i>. .
