Leroy ‘Sugarfoot’ Bonner

Composer, musician, singer; leader of the Ohio Players -- via Spinner. One of the seminal bands of the era, Ohio Players were the R&B/funk band of choice when I was just the right age for that kind of thing. Does anyone remember the urban legend about "Love Rollercoaster"? We told each other that you could hear a scream during the song that was actually a murder in an adjoining sound studio that made its way onto the recording! Additionally, they produced the sexiest album covers of all time (OK, Roxy Music had some great ones as well). Listening to the music and looking at the album led us to our first stuttering steps toward uninhibited sexuality.
