Love Rollercoaster - The Ohio Players (1975)

"Love Rollercoaster" was a song by American funk/R&B band The Ohio Players, originally featured on their 1975 album "Honey". The song was a hit upon its initial release, reaching the top of both the R&B and pop charts, and still sees wide airplay on classic funk and R&B stations. The song uses the roller coaster, a common theme park attraction, as a metaphor for the ups and downs of dating and romantic relationships. "Honey" was the third Mercury album by The Ohio Players, released in 1975. Like previous albums, "Honey" is known for its very sexy cover photo. In this case, the model was Playboy magazine's October 1974 Playmate of the Month, Ester Cordet. An urban legend surrounded the song "Love Rollercoaster" that the girl on the album cover was attacked or killed near the studio and her screams are heard on the song. This was a hoax, since the scream was actually that of keyboardist Billy Beck. The woman on the album cover, Panamanian-born model Ester Cordet, is still alive. The Ohio Players were an American funk and R&B band, most popular in the 1970s. The band formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1959 as The Ohio Untouchables, and initially included members Robert Ward (vocals/guitar), Marshall 'Rock' Jones (bass), Clarence 'Satch' Satchell (saxophone/guitar), Cornelius Johnson (drums), and Ralph 'Pee Wee' Middlebrooks (trumpet/trombone). The Ohio Untouchables broke up in 1963 with Ward leaving for a solo career, but the core members of the group returned to Dayton and added Gregory Webster (drums) and Leroy 'Sugarfootv Bonner (guitar) in 1964. The group added two more singers, Bobby Lee Fears and Dutch Robinson, and became the house band for the New York based Compass Records in 1967. Clarence Satchell (April 15, 1940 - December 30, 1995) died after he had a brain aneurysm, and Ralph Middlebrooks (born August 20, 1939) died in November 1997. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were one of the many bands heavily influenced by The Ohio Players, covering "Love Rollercoaster" for the film "Beavis And Butt-head Do America". This channel is dedicated to all the great 'old school' R&B music I grew up with, the stuff that originally made me tap my feet and want to be a DJ. Funk, soul, disco, R&B, dance, hip-hop, pop . . . 60s, 70s, 80s . . . whatever you call it, it's all 'Old School' and it's all here!
