The Ohio Express is an American musical recording unit, mainly active from 1967 through 1970, and continuing intermittently to this present day. 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 music of a number of different musicians and acts. 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. he question of who is the 'real' Ohio Express is difficult. The first record credited to Ohio Express was "Beg, Borrow And Steal", a Top 40 hit in the US and Canada in late 1967. However, exactly the same record had initially been issued as by The Rare Breed in early 1966 on Attack Records. The band's original recording of "Beg, Borrow & Steal" was then re-mixed and re-issued in August 1967 on Cameo Parkway Records, now credited to The Ohio Express. With no group available to promote the single by playing live dates, Super K Productions hired a Mansfield, Ohio band known as Sir Timothy & The Royals and renamed them The Ohio Express. Ohio Express then moved to the home label of bubblegum pop, Buddah Records. At the same time, Joey Levine was coming up with new material for The Ohio Express. He recorded a demo version of the track "Yummy Yummy Yummy". Two months after its issue it had sold over one million copies. The success of the Levine-led "Yummy Yummy Yummy" set a pattern for The Ohio Express. They released four LPs and a multitude of singles for Buddah between 1968 and 1970, but the "official" group that appeared on album sleeves and at live shows contributed not a single note to their hit singles. After five straight singles co-written and sung by Joey Levine, Levine grew dissatisfied with the amount of money he was receiving from his production deal, and left Super K Productions in early 1969. After Levine left, Ohio Express never again made the top 40 in North America. One later minor hit single, "Sausalito" was co-written and sung by Graham Gouldman, and performed by the four musicians who would later make up 10CC. By 1970, with the hits having stopped, the group name Ohio Express was quietly retired. A new touring version of Ohio Express was convened in the 1980s and still touring today.
