20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Ohio Players

by Ohio Players

Overview

If the Ohio Players' Funk On Fire CD is too much material for you, then this dozen from Dayton, Ohio's most famous band should set you right. Includes their two number one pop hits "Love Rollercoaster" and "Fire," along with "Skin Tight," "Jive Turkey," and their anthem "O-H-I-O." Mellow down with three soothing ballads: the jazz-flavored "Sweet Sticky Thing," the ultimate floater "Heaven Must Be Like This," and guitarist/vocalist Sugarfoot's favorite tune "I Wanna Be Free." The compilers tripped by including "Happy Holidays" and "Let's Do It" -- "Honey" and "Together" would have made this package far stronger and practically critic-proof. ~ Andrew Hamilton
