Hell yeah! That was and still is the jam! Remember when Cameo tried to cover the song? Man, they butchered it. They took all the funk out! Slave was just too cool. Love that groove. "Why don'tchoo sliiiddeeeee?"

The guitar solo by Marc "Drac" Hicks belongs in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (right up there with "MaggotBrain").

Cameo should not have remade Slide.I love Cameo but they should not have done it.

It was the 90s. A lot of artists did things they shouldn't have. Prince started rapping on his songs, for example.

I like Cameo's version also. It wasn't Cameo at their best but, hey, it was the 1990s and the song was better than most anything else on the radio that year. By then, funk was practically extinct and hell, I was desperate for some funk of any kind in the 1990s.

Thanks. I'll be looking for those. "Master Of The Fungk" sounds really interesting. I have a remixed version of "Just A Touch Of Love" on a compilation called "Everybody Dance! The Best Of Remixed Dance Classics" on Rhino Records. It contains remixed versions of various classic dance songs by the original artists.
