Ohio Players Concert Tickets

Originally named the Ohio Untouchables, the band’s first members included vocalist and guitarist Robert Ward, bassist Marshall “Rock” Jones, Clarence “Satch” Satchell on saxophone, Cornelius Johnson on drums and trumpeter Ralph “Pee Wee” Middlebrooks. In their early years, they were best known as a backing band for the R&B vocal group The Falcons. The Ohio Players had a rocky start, disbanding and re-forming a few times with new members. In 1973, they had their big breakthrough with the hit “Funky Worm.” The single reached number 1 on Billboard’s R&B chart and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

However, former members Billy Beck, Jimmy "Diamond" Williams, Clarence "Chet" Willis and Robert "Rumba" Jones are back together performing concerts.
