SLAVE Featuring Steve Arrington - THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION 2CD 06 w From The Archives 2LP 80 w Visions Of Lite LP 82


REPOST and ADD ON:  Well, had to fill in for a discogs shipping minimum from Europe so snagged the three vinyl to add to my CD rips from before.  Back In The Days Of Soul old radio playlist I followed featured their songs:  Watching You and Slide with the cool vocals enjoy!  Per Discogs:  The group was formed in Dayton, Ohio by New Jersey native horn player/songwriter/producer Steve Washington (funk obviously runs in the blood - Washington's uncle was Ralph 'Pee Wee' Middlebrook of the famed Ohio Players). Slave performed edgy funk grooves that rival (or even overwhelm) what is considered 'hard' street music today. By the time the Cotillion/Atlantic album "Stone Jam", originally release in September 1980, came out, Steve Washington had departed the group, with Curt Jones and Starleana Young, to form another band, Aurra. Not long afterward, Steve Arrington (drummer and vocalist) also departed to undertake a solo career that produced important funk classics such as "Way Out" and "Nobody Can Be You But You".
