Title: Smooth And Funky All At Once
Review: An utterly underrated mid 80's venture for the Players"Garduation" stars strong with two high-energy grooves in"Fast Track" and "Follow Me",countered only by the B-side's"All Night",making way for the albums closing bluesy rock 'n rollof "So Glad I Got My R&B",the most orginal and clever tune theOhio Players ever came up with.But when you get to "School Girl"and "Now Is The Time",the rest of the album including those twofit into the Whitney Housten-style "big ballad" 80's R&B soundthat seemed the drain the soul out of Afro Amerian popular musicin this era and up to today.An excellent outing but also showinga symtom of the times.
