Yeah I could just imagine the hype around Steve during that time period.

Steve Arrington, Slave. Nice song.

I was listening to the greatest hits cd earlier today.
Slide babay babay. I also listened to The Concept album.
We Got Your Party babay

phunkdaddy said:

Slide!!! That song makes me happy, and Watching You.

Slave's another band that had some cuts. I have a question though, was Steve an original member? "Slide" indicates he came in later, like '78.

Timmy84 said:

He joined them in '78, the group was founded in '75.

Timmy84 said:

Yes him and Starleana joined in 78 on
The Concept album. Then they added her
future Aurra partner Curt on the Just A Touch Of Love album.

phunkdaddy said:

Yes he joined in'78 but the group began in '75. So yeah!

phunkdaddy said:

Yeah I figured that.

@Nastradumas, yeah the group did start recording in '75.

I think only the die hard slave fans can truly
appreciate The Concept album. You have to put
on your seat belt for that album. It is truly
a rock funk album.

Timmy84 said:

Yep, I'm currently listening to "Slide", been playing it several time for the pass half hour.

Here's Steve and Starr's introduction into Slave

NastradumasKid said:

"Watching You" is such a feel-good song. Actually, I love listening to it when it's sunny outside and I'm out on town checking out the ladies

"Walking down the street watching ladies..."

LoveIsTheMessage said:

"...go by watching you!" Man, Steve Arrington was getting down!

That is one helluva intro

Harlepolis said:

Sure is.

dah doh..daaaa dah do do dee dee dah doh...




I had this album for 4 years now and thanx to you guys I LOOOOOVVE this song!!

Timmy84 said:

One my my favorite funk songs, off one of my favortie funk albums!

Atlantic needs to re-release this on vinyl with the bonus cuts from the sessions of this funk masterpiece, "At It Again" & "I Love You". I already got this "Way Out" 12" with "Pocketful Of Air" being the b-side.

I just heard his new album last week. I was holding out so much hope

I haven't heard it yet, don't tell me he went the shit-hop route?

i like "Nobody Can Be You But You" and "Weak At The Knees"

Steve Arrington has a kick- ass voice. he was perfect for Slave.

Him and Dam Funk collaboration is gonna be a KILLER

Abdul said:

No shit hop but you wont find anything near Nobody Can Be You But You" and "Weak At The Knees.

elem55 said:

but did Dam Funk produce it??!?!? Does it sound like his funk!??

paisleypark4 said:

Dam's project with Steve isn't out yet

bboy87 said:
