Amelia Robinson sits down with James (Diamond) Williams of the Ohio Players right here in the Land of Funk.

More than 40 years after the Players struck it big, their long list of hits — "Skin Tight," "Fire," “Love Rollercoaster” included — still make people move.

With Diamond, one of Rolling Stone magazine’s top drummers of all time, at the helm, the Players are working on a new album and last year released the single “Reset.”

Diamond does not hold back during his chat with Amelia on the What Had Happened Was podcast.

He shares his thoughts on everything from fast cars and sexy women on album covers to why the Players aren’t in the Rock Hall of Fame (yet) and why Dayton (the Land of

Funk) doesn’t have an Ohio Players Way (yet).

Strap in. The ride is about to get funky.
