Skin Tight became the first in a string of hugely successful records that cemented their place among the giants of seventies funk, setting up the triumphs that followed. It is the sound of a band locking in, loosening up and having the time of their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track \"Skin Tight\" is a masterclass in slinky, insistent groove, its bassline and horn stabs practically demanding you move. \"Jive Turkey\" is playful and sly, a strutting jam with a grin on its face, while \"Heaven Must Be Like This\" slows the tempo for a dreamy, gorgeous ballad later covered by D'Angelo. \"Streakin' Cheek to Cheek\" rounds out the fun with a cheeky nod to one of the decade's oddest crazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix tracks, no filler, and grooves that have been sampled and studied ever since. For funk collectors, Skin Tight is the moment the Ohio Players truly took off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287062061361,"sku":"8435395505151","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Ohio_Players-Skin_Tight.jpg?v=1793728776","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/ohio-players-skin-tight-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
