Trevor Nelson - 04/11/2009

Trevor plays an hour of soulful music and his Album Of The Week is Honey by The Ohio Players. In 1975, the Ohio Players were one of R&Bs most successful acts, and were inescapable for anyone who listened to black radio at the time. This album kept the band's commercial momentum going thanks to such hard-driving funk as Love Rollercoaster (a song that was heavily sampled by rappers in the 80s and 90s and covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1996), Fopp, and the playfully jazz-influenced hit Sweet Sticky Thing.
