About The Record:

Sugar Kiss by Sugarfoot, the solo project of Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, lead vocalist and guitarist of the legendary Ohio Players, is a funk album produced by Roger Troutman featuring heavy involvement from members of Zapp. This collaboration effectively blends the classic Ohio Players sound with Zapp's electro-funk style, creating a "maximum funk" experience often praised as a headphone masterpiece. A unique fact is that some US vinyl pressings were misprinted, substituting several intended tracks with older demos. Fan-favorites include the title track Kiss, the updated Ohio Players classic Fire '85, You Better Love Somebody, I Choose You, and Girl, I Need You. The album remains a cult favorite among funk enthusiasts for its bass-heavy grooves and talk box elements characteristic of the era.
