description Contradiction Overview

Contradiction is a 1976 studio album by the Ohio Players, released by Mercury Records during the group's commercially successful mid-1970s period. It followed the albums that produced major songs such as "Fire" and "Love Rollercoaster," and it continued the band's mixture of forceful funk rhythms, ensemble vocals, horns, and soul balladry. The record is suited to listeners exploring the Ohio Players beyond their best-known singles and the sound of mainstream 1970s funk.
