Ohio Players - Funk On Fire: The Mercury Anthology, Disc 1

Review from allmusic.com
by Andrew Hamilton

One hour, 54 minutes, and 12 seconds of innovative funk on two discs is
nothing to sneeze at, particularly when the tracks are prime Ohio Players
cuts. Mercury adroitly chronicles their chart-blazing career with full-length,
unedited versions of winners and album treats. From the bluesy, strutting
"Jive Turkey" to "More Than Love," the group displays its superb musicianship
and ingenuity on 28 slabs of funk and soul. The guys proved they can slow
jam with anyone on "Together" and the super-lush "Honey." The Ohio Players
were affectionately known as Sugarfoot, Billy, Pee Wee, Merv, Diamond,
Rock, and Satch, all of whom contributed collectively in the writing and
production of all the songs. Everyone is familiar with the hits, and most of
their fans already have them; it's the unsung pearl like "Good Luck Charm"
that makes Funk on Fire a must -- along with the convenience of having all
these smokin' grooves in one sweet package.
