Fire - Ohio Players

'Fire' was released from the Ohio Players' album of the same name, both released in 1975. The single peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 in the Dutch Top 40. The song was recorded at Mercury Record's Chicago-based studio. While performing it in California, the band let Stevie Wonder hear the basic track for the song and he predicted that it would become a big hit.

I bought this single as a gamble. Later on I found out that I was acually looking for the 1968 hit 'Fire' by the Crazy world of Arthur Brown.

My collection: 7" single no. 2855
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, June 21, 1997
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Fire' / 'Together'
