review
[-] by Alex Henderson

Honey may have had the most controversial LP cover of 1975. Its erotic
cover, which depicted a nude model covered in honey, was protested by
feminists when it was alleged that the model had become stuck to the floor
during the photo shoot. Some retailers, in fact, refused to carry it. All the
controversy certainly didn't hurt the album commercially. In 1975, the Ohio
Players were one of R&B's most successful acts, and were inescapable for
anyone who listened to black radio at the time. The album kept the band's
commercial momentum going thanks to such hard-driving funk as "Love
Rollercoaster" (a song that was sampled to death by rappers in the 1980s and
'90s and covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1996), "Fopp," and the
playfully jazz-influenced hit "Sweet Sticky Thing." While the Players'
outstanding contributions to funk would continue to have an enormous impact
long after the band's popularity faded, it's important to stress that only about
half of Honey falls into the funk category. In fact, lead singer Sugarfoot's
moving performance on the remorseful "Alone" makes one wish that the
Players' ballads were discussed more often.
