Suggestions in this genre: War, “Me and Baby Brother”; Billy Preston, “Will it Go Round in Circles?”, and “Outa Space”; Aretha Franklin , “Rock Steady”; Dazz Band, “Let it Whip”; SOS Band, “Just Be Good to Me”. Gap Band, “Early in the Morning”; James Brown, “Papa Don’t Take No Mess” live. Live would be best for all of these.

I second all those! And, speaking of Dazz, I would add in the band Brick and their song “Dazz” (play the long version to hear the flute solo).

I’m convinced these guys had a big influence in Prince. Check out “ Skin Tight” by them! And while you’re at it- check out funk pioneers Sly and the Family Stone.

Big time influence on Prince. Sometime in the 90 s he had them perform for a week at his nightclub and jammed with them

Now you should review the stereo album version of Love Rollercoaster. It is a much cleaner recording and in stereo, unlike this video which is only a mono recording

Yes, That is the most important point to make, that there were no adjustments, no enhancements no attempts to perfect, all of that designed to get the audience to do what? Of course, spend more money because they will think an artist is better, more talented, less human than he or she actually is.

The first crossover pop hit for the Ohio Players is called Funky Worn. It was a novelty hit that is worth a listen.

Other have mentioned that the Red Hot Chili Peppers covered this song. It was on the soundtrack of Beavis and Butthead a MTV Cartoon. I remember staying up to watch the Midnight Special when the Bay City Rollers where on. I was like nine. When I was younger than nine, I use to think that Wolfman Jack was the devil. I use to wonder why the devil would do acne commercials.

I was in elementary school and had this record. There is a part toward the end of the song where you can hear a woman scream. There was a rumor among all the kids that the scream from a woman who was being attacked and it could be heard in the studio. LOL. Kids.

For a different take on Love Rollercoaster you should check out the animated movie Beavis and Butthead Do America, there is a sequence featuring the song while the boys are in Las Vegas. As they used to say, "It's a gas."
