Ohio Players - Far East Mississippi Lyrics

This is the FUNK, like a pork chop in your corn flakes funk

OP's were the OG's... the GOAT in the progressive funk stratosphere. Ya heard me!

One of the Baddest Songs.

This is skunk funky

These Dudes were great! 🔥🔥🔥❤👊😎

Loved O.P...but their Live shows never lived up from the studio work

Hell yes!

They don't allow no bad lippin' no skinny dippin' in Far East Mississippi. Only one OP's baby!!!

Ohio players were one of the best studio recording group of all time,they always acheived perfection. Too bad that their leader Clarence satchell took all the money for himself and didn't pay the other members.

Without OP there would be no André 3000

This my jam ...far east Mississippi

Underrated OP classic

Ohio Players Uncelebrated Geniuses!!!!

♥️❤️♥️‼️

".....best, not, be ly-in', be de'nin-'n comin' from Mississippi yeow...."

the percussion and horns were something special listen to the drummer!!!

that bass is thumping

This is one mean bad ass jam!!

MUSICIANS AT WORK!!! MEN AT WORK!!

Emmett Till

They don't allow no bad lippin', no skinny dippin', in far east Mississippi....but they do have casinos now...

That drummer has his own style, i can hear i wanna be free in this song from the beats of the drums

This is some heavy funk right here

9 cans of Shaving Cream!!!!

Massively funky! OMG they nailed it! oh! yah no kiddin

The very definition of Funk music right here. RIP Junie :(

Yes R.I.P. Marshall Jones. Your bass line as you've done on all of your songs with the group put them on another level period. You were the last to go to glory, from The original group (The Ohio Untouchables) or line up that made Ohio Players history. You and the Original crew.. Featuring You, Sugarfoot, Satch, PeeWee were truly Untouchable. You guys are my musical heros. Thank you so very much for what u gave the world and myself..

Listen to these lyrics....not just in Far East Mississippi, either!!!  Hey!

I peeped it. They are not complimenting it either. The man running out of breath sounds like he is trying to save himself from being lynched.

R.I.P Marshall Jones Bassist the last of the original members from their days as the Ohio Untouchables before they changed their name to the Ohio Players.

MusicLover Pearson R.I.P. JONES

at least we got to see him and Sugarfoot on UNSUNG before both of them passed.

Rock Jones put it down... R.I.P. the Players were the best of the very best. The G.O.A.T

The real boyz of "Funk"..... True innovators...there will never be another group like The Players from Ohio. !!! period !!!!

Another funk group like The Ohio Players is Lakeside,Heatwave,Zapp and The Deele they from Dayton,Ohio too.

I am from Dayton, when I was a teen, my father took me to the Oakleaf club in Germantown Ohio to set up microphones for the group, "The Ohio Players and Another Exchange". He had a signed picture from the band.

Diamond was serious on those drums!

daryl hunt yes he was playa...HE WAS BAD....TO SAY THE LEAST😎

A total savage to this day!

Facts 💯

Don't get no harder than diamond.......trust

My boys back in the days of real music

My boys back in the days of real music

THE FUNK MASTERS

Thank again GiaSisterFunk!

♫Thx: ) to you+Moltenfiya

Greatest Band of All Time!!!!!!

+JAZZMAN72762 i would have to agree nobody did funk like them nobody

Next level skills. Much missed!

they was the funk group of the 70's the BEST

+Thomas Edwards yes greatest funk band of all time.

+Thomas Edwards REALLY REALLY TRUE BROTHER LIKE THIS PIECE

they were the BAD

+Thomas Edwards truth

I had all the Ohio Players album covers on my bedroom wall until my mother made me take them down! These guys were creative genuises from the music to the album covers........I'm glad I grew up during their era. The good times I had; everytime I think about it , I feel good all under (LOL).

♫+James Smith ☆: )

You should have moved and took your album covers with you, Beloved! 😊

Had to hide mine under my bed( : }

hell yes!! we were lucky, we had the greatest music ever, todays music blows!!

grab and keep your history. young black folks

♫+Keith Jones ☆; )

Louie R, your diatribe is way over top. I interpret Keith Jones telling young folks to understand their musical traditions. They are American but of black origin and today that great tradition has radically been changed. Think you read way too much into it.

Keith Jones tell em!

Too funky!!!!!

♫+1995RangeRover ☆; )

this was a great band

Grifitti, you brought back some memories of those bands you mentioned.  Especially Mandrill and War. Thanks.

♫@XaveOnTheBeat ✰; )

thank you....fellow funkateer

The flood gates open to the sound of the rainbow!
HELL YES!

@Bram25 ♫☆ツ

I bought all their album recently for the covers. I use to have to hide the albums from my mother.

nethater Probably a wise idea.

My Mother would lose her mind too over sexy women. She would tear up My Brothers albums until My Father said for her to stop tearing up his records/albums due to he would re-buy them for him.
Sure he liked the ladies but he was more focused on the music, both My Father & Brother.

cool funk !!!   We used to fire up and sit back and trip off this MF.  These brothas were extreme and creatively talented.  Ohio Players, War, Mandrill, Santana, EWF, Isaac Hayes ....they don't make music like this anymore. Who plays instruments these dayz ???   No more musicians...no more bands.

@Chas Stack ♫☆; )

@XaveOnTheBeat ♫☆; )

@J CC I recognized that too.....Prince had mad skills. Played guitar, bass, keys, drums etc. ....who does that these days ??? And he was self taught.

I'm sittin back here now checkin" the percussion drums on Ohio Player's "I wanna be free" ..... and New Birth ' s "you are what I'm all about". These cats never got any attention sitting in the back on drums but if you listen , they was slayin' nem drums. Check out the bassist on New Birth ' s "pains of love"

grifittillllllllll

TUNE!!!

@PTechnicalOriginal ♫Thx☆; ) 

I remember the first time heard this song, I really tripped out, I didn't know what to think about it, cause it was jazz,r&b, n blue grass,Sugar rockin the harmonica,might have been the weed I was smoking too,but it was just a different kinda song,weird thing tho, 1'st place I went to when I was in the military was Mississippi,n they don't allow no bad lipping either, then I got it,this Almon Joy
