One of the seminal funk acts of the 1970s, Ohio Players laid down hard, no-nonsense funk characterized by popping basslines, punchy horns, and the distinctive nasal vocals of Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner. GOLD succinctly summarized the Players' finest moments in 11 tracks of vintage groove, featuring smooth soul ballads ("I Want to Be Free"), uptempo disco jams ("Feel the Beat (Everybody Disco)"), and straight-up funk classics ("Fire," "Love Rollercoaster"). GOLD is a sure-fire bet for both old school funkateers and new school groove seekers.
