Pleasure (Ohio Players album)

Pleasure continues with vocal harmonies more reminiscent of earlier work than what the Ohio Player would do when they moved to Mercury two years later and would often show jazz tendencies with some of their musical arrangements. The songs are a mixture of radio-friendly material with songs that come off as late night studio jam sessions, such as "Walt's First Trip".

The song "Funky Worm" was released as a single and went to #1 on the Billboard R&B charts, their biggest hit during their time with Westbound. The song, about a unique worm that enjoyed going in mysterious places, would later be sampled by a number of producers of hip-hop and R&B music during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The single and album mixes of "Funky Worm" are slightly different, most notably the opening drum break and the synthesizer solo that represents the sound of the worm.

The album was produced by the band, and engineered by Arlen Smith. The cover photo was taken by Joel Brodsky.
