A funk masterpiece with an explosive, sticky groove.

The Ohio Players' greatest career success, the album and title track reached number one on the US pop charts as well as the R&B charts, propelling them to the pinnacle of their success.

Marshall Jones' basslines and supporting drums lay the foundation for a powerful funk groove that permeates the entire album. Horns, synthesizers, and Sugarfoot's distinctive vocals combine to create a frenetic sound. The title track, "Fire," encapsulates this energy. The slow jam "I Want to Be Free" and other tracks skillfully vary in tempo, showcasing the band's musical ability and range of expression.
