Lakeside had cuts back in the day and put themselves with other great funkateers from Ohio.

where you got Lakeside from the Ohio scene and why?

mistermaxxx R.Kelly, Michael Jackson,Stevie wonder,Rick James,Marvin Gaye,El Debarge, Barry WHite Lionel RIchie,Isleys EWF,Lady T.,Kid creole and coconuts,the crusaders,kc sunshine band,bee gees,jW,sd,NE,JB

Miami Heat, New York Yankees,buffalo bills

their cover of the Beatles "I wanna hold your hand" was big back in the day too...

They were solid, but I don't know much more than what I just said about their catalog.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

You got the Ohio Players, the Isleys, Bootsy's Rubber Band (plus Michael Hampton and Junie Morrison with the P Funk set), Zapp and The O'Jays. Then I think Lakeside, the Dazz Band, I guess Slave had some big records. So I guess they kinda head the second tier. Personally I like them a little better than the O'Jays also, both good bands.

yeah i agree a solid second tier act

dude

SLIDE, Watching you, Snapshot....

And can we call the O'Jays a "band"??? They are from Ohio but their sound is Philly...Ijs

One Hundred.

The tier thing I mean whatever, how many are we putting in a tier? To me Slave had about as many hits as Lakeside and the Dazz Band, that seemed like a pretty tidy grouping. O'Jays you can knock into that group or out, whatever, I don't have a personal preference. I think we can agree that the Ohio Players, the Isleys, Zapp and the major contributions to the P Funk set were like the Mount Rushmore here, no?

they had some hits but will be remembered at best as c level compared to the goats of the genre

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

but career-wise they are entirely different plateus

They might not have lived up to their potential on wax
But their live show was one of the best in Ohio or anywhere else...
