Immediately returning to the studio after the initial success of Pain, Ohio Players created what would be the most influential album of their career. Released near the tail end of 1972, along with another set of powerful and soul funk, The Players unleashed “Funky Worm” onto the world. Massive chart success followed, and the world at large met Junie’s “Granny” character and a tale about the funkiest worm of all time. Beyond the massive initial success, Junie’s high-pitched ARP synth sounds also provided one of the foundational motifs of West Coast Rap and “Funky Worm” remains one of the most sampled songs in the history of Hip Hop. Truly original and staggeringly influential.
