Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name “Ohio Express” served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz’s and Jeffrey Katz’s Super K Productions to release the “bubblegum” music of a number of different musicians and acts.
The best-known songs of Ohio Express – including their chart-topping single, Yummy Yummy Yummy – were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working out of New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine.
Several other Ohio Express hits were the work of other, unrelated musical groups, including The Rare Breed, and an early incarnation of 10cc. In addition, a completely separate touring version of Ohio Express appeared at all live dates and recorded some of the band’s album tracks.
