1979 - Ohio Players - Everybody Up [mp3@320] Grad58 torrent

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Review from allmusic.com
by Alex Henderson

The Ohio Players' stay at Mercury ended with 1978's Jass-Ay-Lay-Dee, and
the funksters switched to Arista with their next album, 1979's Everybody Up.
By 1979, the Players were past their prime -- both creatively and
commercially. Hoping to regain their popularity, they decided to try something
different -- and that meant bringing a lot of disco gloss to their funk. On
catchy, if unremarkable, cuts like "Make Me Feel," "Say It," and the title song,
the Players favor a slick disco-funk approach along the lines of Earth, Wind &
Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" or Kool & the Gang's "Ladies' Night." The only tune
on the LP that is truly weak is "Don't Say Goodbye," which goes for the sort of
bluesy ambience that characterized "Alone" but misses the mark badly and
ends up sounding lethargic. For the most part, however, Everybody Up isn't a
bad album -- uneven and less than remarkable, but not bad. Although hardly
in a class with Fire, Skin Tight, or Honey, this vinyl LP has its moments -- and it
is certainly superior to the two weak albums that the Players recorded for
Boardwalk in the early '80s. Nonetheless, Everybody Up received very little
attention. This record quickly went out of print, and it is most unlikely that
Arista will ever reissue it on CD.
