Drac wasn't there at this tv show. Drac took the first solo on the record, after the 2nd change Danny Webster took the 2nd solo to the end of the song. Awesome musicians at a very early age.... teenagers 👍🏾🎶
Why bring color into the song ? Theres white man funk to BUT IM NOT BRAGGING ON THE WHITE MAN Funk , But Check out wild Cherries song .. Play that funky music white boy ,, From 1976 The video with the Cherry in the ladies mouth , CHECK OUT THE WHITE MANS FUNK
Right!!! I stopped listening to radio years ago. I feel so sorry for the kids 2day. They are clueless and have no idea what they are missing and what real music sounds like. Its amazing radio stations today are still in business
@@SamuelSEdme when Steve Arrington left slave to embark on a solo career, he created one of my favorites of all time. If you havent heard it already, check out "way out". It is mind blowing...takes you out of the stratosphere!!!
No it's not underrated by who?? It was a hit and a ton of folks know the song there is nothing underrated about that why do folks use the word underrated on RUclips so darn much
@@anthonytaylor7928 because if you ask hundreds of people what are some of best solos I highly doubt any of them will name this. I’m just saying it needs more recognition
This song dropped like a ton of bricks when it came out. I feel sorry for young people who don't get to experience the feeling when songs like this ;"Boogie Nights", "Flashlight, FFUN and others hit.
Yes sir, you would get a tinkling sensation when you heard jams like this! My brother and I started "poppin " not to long after this jam came out, southeast San Diego!
I’m an old head too but I’m also tuned into the music of today and you would be surprised by some of the amazing talents of today. We don’t hear them on the radio (other than Bruno Mars) but many of today’s youth studied the musicians of our day. We just came up in a time where our greats music was played on the radio for us to enjoy. Now you have to hunt it down or have someone inform you.
How old was he when he passed on if was only 17 then that doesn’t even make him a senior citizen today why are we losing all of our black men so soon????
@@crystalmason829It was believed he was m.urdered and was hit in the head with a bottle or a blunt object. Very sad. To this day since 2011. His m.urder is still unsolved. He was only 51 when he died. Very sad. May he rest in peace.🙏🏼
I am sooo happy I grew up when I did. I was 16 the summer this song was out. 1977 was one of the best summers of my life. I just have to listen to this song and all the other soulful songs that were out then-Zoom by the Commodores-A Real Mother for Ya by Johnny Guitar Watson-Strawberry Letter 23 by The Brothers Johnson-Ahh The Name is Bootsy Baby by Bootsy Collins and the list goes on and on and they take me back there. I know my age is showing but I don't care. The best songs ever came out of The 70's!!!!!!!!
No dizz-out ! And don't forget two of the toughest slow jams out that year... Norman Connor's " You Are My Starship " and The Floaters " Float On" Brick Disco Dazz , yea I was 15 and loving it to the fullest in the Ghetto streets of Boston. 77....was a good year, a very good year . Dig It?
I never get tired of listening or watching this video. To see these fine young men exhibit their talent honestly sends chills down my spine; that guitar riff is awesome. They’re all sensational. 👍
Back in the day, Slave, a pioneering funk band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 1975, renowned for tight grooves, energetic performances, and innovative use of synthesizers, featuring talented musicians like Steve Washington, Mark Hicks, Mark Adams, Danny Webster, Curt Jones, and Tom Lockett Jr., whose music, with extended jams and hits like "Slide" and "Just a Touch of Love," solidified their status as premier funk artists, touring extensively and leaving an enduring legacy in funk music history.
Yes! That is correct. and New plateau album and Bad enuff as well as visions of the light which was basically a Danny Webster Voice fest! Floyd miller sang on sweet thing. That album marked Steve Arrington's departure. excellent album! masters of the Funk is also great.
@@jimy0803 No...That is Eugene Moochie Jackson...Bass player from quazar on those 2 songs lead vocals. danny and I are sharing vocals on Steppen out and In and Out. i am singing every song lead vocals on New Plateau album duet with Floyd Miller on Share your love.
@@jimy0803 YES! I love his voice so much man! His voice is absolutely unique for all times. What a talented singer and his guitar work UNBELIEVABLE and original.
The groove, the lyrics, the bass line, the guitar solo, all ridiculous. But for whatever reason, it's the horn arrangement that does it for me. And to think that some the members of this band were only 15-16 years old when they recorded this gem of a Funk song. But back then was a very different era. Musicians and the bands they organized rehearsed intensely and often, both individually and collectively, and in many of those neighborhoods the music was both encouraged and supported. #respect
My goodness this takes me back to my disco days. Yes fellow funksters and funksterettes, I did say "disco ". I'm an oldish geezer in his 60's and I still love to get down and funky.
I hear so many people bad mouth the 70's but if one looks, there is a huge number of bands and songs of that era that were great. Some of the best stuff came out of the 70's in funk, disco and rock. I'm so glad I was around for the whole decade. Nu Disco, House and electronica are all right, but they can not hold a candle to songs like this one from Slave.
The horn section was key, and 70s soul totally transformed music, period, e.g., Silksonic. There's a reason EWF Horns is still here. Some people secretly love disco. How can they not?
Holy Smokes folks this is 100% BadAss Funk pure and unfiltered geniuses at their very best kids these no nothing about raw talent like these funksters glad to be born in the mid 60's
Funk is a spirit, a vibe, an attitude and a force that is embedded within. The release of it through music is a wonderfully powerful gift. To me the difference is the timing. Funk dominated the 70’s and spoke to us in a relevant way during that era. The 70’s are gone but I believe that funk will always live on! Long live the Funk!
My Camaro was called "The Witchfinder General", when cruising to a nightclub, Slide by Slave would be jamming outloud, had speakers built in front of my vehicle (PA System)...everyone could hear Slide by Slave. Total legends.
🎤🔊📣📢📺 I was only 10yrs old when my old sister bought this record at Tower Records after hearing it at a night club the night before with her girlfriends, they used to jam this on KSOL radio! 🤘
Hey Renee Jones. 1977 was one of the best summers of my life too. I had a Z28 and I was getting ready for football. It was really great to be out and to be free.
I was a jr in high school in Paterson NJ when this came out in . We used to go to a teen club called the climax. When this kut came out the club went nuts. I can still remember dancing my ass off to this joint. And the whole album was bangin too I have every Slave LP ever recorded
Some the best funk drummers in the world,Ohio Players,Slave,and James Brown's drummer.As for funky bass,Bootsy and The Brothers Johnson.Just my opinion!
Wow! Just Awesome stuff. I almost forgot how badass SLAVE was back in the day. Brings back hella-memories. Good times. Good friends. Good ladies. = The GOOD LIFE! Thanks for the upload!
I remember this when it 1st came out like it was yesterday.. Cotillion records..I can still see the 45 in my head...I thought wow..now that is funk & funky..

Amazing Music ministry instruments Vocalist and Voice you are people Choices Slave Musical instruments Band from Dayton, Ohio Classic harder Funky/Rocker &Roller.2021
This so called techno-age can't compare to the music of the 70s & the most part of the 80s. Don't forget the King of bass - Larry Graham's "The Jam". However, there are so many artists of that era, we'd be all week naming them all. No time like the 70s!
I grew up with these guys on Decker Ave in Dayton Ohio it came from Mark’s dream of being a Rockstar and Mr.Roosevelt Hicks gave up the garage to give him the studio where this great song was created! my life was great because funk was born in the70’s IN THE GEM 💎CITY OF DAYTON,OHIO!!😎❤️🇺🇸
I had a Blues Band back a few years ago, we did this song......our bassist/vocalist was bad assed. I was the only "colored" person in the group....ha, these guys were and still are my brothers. They all said I that "hand"....for funk & blues. I just grew up loving that music. My first album ever, was BB King Live at the Cook County Jail.....
Steve Washington refused and Cotillion Records silenced them from speaking on the matter. They lost 4 original members also: Mark Adams: Bass Guitar Mark "Drac" Hicks: Lead Guitar Orion "Bimmy" Wilhoite: Saxophones Danny Webster: Rhythm Guitar

This song has been in my head for weeks and I am sitting her dancing my ass off right now. I was not yet created when this song came out but when people play I feel the intensity of this music. #thisisrealmusic
To be young at this time in life. To be in the hood, the country, Surburbs, anywhere. When Slide came out. 1977, this shit bought out something deep and unique in ''You''. That Bass line was deep. If you were between the age of 12 to 20, and you heard that for the first time, something deep happened within you. A logical transformation of something that was ''Personal''. You Drool with delight when a certain kind of Beat and Feel that connects with your Mind, body and Soul. Flashbacks of Good times, the attitudes in the music did not connect with the Evil within. We Just Slide. Slave even said, ''Am gonna let my Grand Momma check this out''. Shit, Me too, When my Granny heard this Track. She did a Government funded section 8 Full split. It messed me Up at the time to see that. But hey, I'm just a kid, there is nothing I can say or do. All I have is a Damn Flashback, in Visual Technicolor. Just Slide. And with Pleasure you ''Glide''........
When so many young black men studied music and played instruments. Those were the days .
They still do.
💔..I'd love to see this again.

Hadn't Drac only been playing like a year or so before this? Outstanding band!!
One of the baddest jams ever. Class of 1979. 🧡

Rest In Peace Mark Drac Hicks
Soooooo funky wit it!!! R.I.P

Indeed...🕊
Beyond funky is an understatement. Easily one of the maddest, sickest basslines in an era chock full of them.
Would love to see their story on "Unsung".
I know I would!
Its alot groups need to be on Unsung Especially Slave

A lot of groups won’t go on... trust me they were asked!

Loved them and Steve Arrington 💃💃💖❤️🔥
Slave FOREVER,they had the slickest grooves,like no other!
damn this is when music was music.
I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to see these bad asses perform "Live" at Morgan State University in 1982! They turned the joint out!
Where was that concert? I might have been on stage was it Tulsa Oklahoma? Or Texas maybe?
Got to see a very grown up but still funky Slave in 2000. I had so much fun.

Slave was great. My favorite tracks are this one, "Motorway" and "Smokin".

they mastered hard rock and disco as one master piece. guitar solos r right up there with Hendrix .
This is from 1981, lipsynced on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Some original members had obviously left by then.
I use to watch funk bands on American Bandstand. These guys can play. This was great music in this era. They played real time.
Slave went through some real tough times and barely got any $ or credit!
Awesome guitar solo!! Rock n roll!!
I remember this when it 1st came out like it was yesterday.. Cotillion records..I can still see the 45 in my head...I thought wow..now that is funk & funky..
I remember being in Junior High School when this song came out and all the Black kids was digging' it.

To be young at this time in life. To be in the hood, the country, Surburbs, anywhere. When Slide came out. 1977, this shit bought out something deep and unique in ''You''. That Bass line was deep. If you were between the age of 12 to 20, and you heard that for the first time, something deep happened within you. A logical transformation of something that was ''Personal''. You Drool with delight when a certain kind of Beat and Feel that connects with your Mind, body and Soul. Flashbacks of Good times, the attitudes in the music did not connect with the Evil within. We Just Slide. Slave even said, ''Am gonna let my Grand Momma check this out''. Shit, Me too, When my Granny heard this Track. She did a Government funded section 8 Full split. It messed me Up at the time to see that. But hey, I'm just a kid, there is nothing I can say or do. All I have is a Damn Flashback, in Visual Technicolor. Just Slide. And with Pleasure you ''Glide''........
