The Ohio Players: The Spirit of '76
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, July 1976
IT HAD to be more than just coincidence. Here I was in Ohio Player Satch Satchell's luxurious hotel suite overlooking Grosvenor Square writing for our 200th issue which would be on the streets on July 4, 1976 which, for those of you who have been dead for about a year, marks the 200th birthday of the good old U.S. of A.
