AUDIO: The Ohio Players (1976)
Cliff White, Rock's Backpages audio, June 1976
Band leader and sax player Clarence "Satch" Satchell talks about how the Ohio Players structure their shows and albums; their move from Westbound to Mercury; “Satch” being the ideas man; Skin Tight’s bad reviews; the Fire and Honey albums; moving from the influence of James Brown to their own style. He's then joined by drummer James "Diamond" Williams to discuss the band's outrageous album covers and the importance of their shows.
