And when I went to Dayton in 1981 to go to Dayton Job Corp, Slave had just released their album "Showtime" and it was pure fire!! I can still remember the radio station WDAO jamming all the Ohio groups, and those DJ's, Turk Logan, Mack J, and Langford "The Man" Stevens. 40 years have passed so quickly, but the memories will never die! #foreverslavefan 🎸🎵🎷🎶🎺🎶🥁
And Rest In Eternal Funk to the original members of Slave who have gone on to glory 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Mark "Drac" Hicks, Danny Webster, Mark "The Hansolor" Adams, and Orion "Bimmy" Wilhoite 🎶🎵🎶❤❤
Indeed. We really need something like an Unsung episode, or a full-fledged documentary while the rest of the cats are still here. I have talked to Steve Washington since last year. I understand he has some health issues, but he's still around. Had to check on him with all the people we lost during the pandemic. He's still in Jersey.
Their scared to do that because they know it's going to uncover who murdered Mark Adams.. Somebody out there knows who did this and it was all about the money..
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, FUNK MUSIC SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN CHART IN BILLBOARD MAGAZINE. RADIO STATIONS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN "ADAPT" AND "ADOPT" A FUNK FORMAT. WHAT BETTER WAY TO KEEP THIS GENRE ALIVE. IT HAS BEEN RELEVANT IN MY LIFE FOR OVER 50+YEARS AND, EVEN TODAY. IT IS A CATEGORY AND, SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS SUCH!
I really enjoy what The Funk Music Hall of Fame is doing,it's needed. This culture of the 70's and early 80's has been overlooked because of the evolution of Black Musicians and Artist of that time. In the history of The Entertainment,blacks have been the Vaudeville Minstrels. It's right there for you to see,all you have to do is turn back the history pages of life! But when the 70's came,the brothers were wearing those tight jump suits,Big Afro's and had the nerve to be looking real good! ''Sly and The Family Stone'' Kool And The Gang,Graham Central Station,The Bar Kays,Jimmy Castor And The Castor Bunch,James Brown,Bobby Byrd and Crew. And of Course the elements ''Earth,Wind And Fire''. Maurice White was a true element. The Music they were doing in the 70's was cosmic spiritual soul in its purest form. To be young at that time,or to be a young adult was beautiful,cause the music had mental impact on us at that time. The Women,Chaka Khan,Gladys Knight,Diana Ross and more,laid it down in a big way. The comes Hip Hop Culture,''Nigga Nonsense'' That goes back to vaudeville. Imagine if a ''Slave'' ''Heatwave'' ''Sun'' ''The Deele'' ''Lakeside'' would have been continued! We would have had new music to live from. This shit now is pathetic,with no substance. Welfare section 8 thug like grooves that caters only to the Butt,so they can drop it like its hot,with no meaning or purpose! A black musical genocide is in effect. I am a true to form Funk Prophet,and you guys will be hearing from me. I have a unique history,story and Past. I am now in Atlanta Ga. the birth place for The ColdFunk Movement. Here on youtube,please enter The Prophet of funk Music Video. This is part of my documentary. Its funny,sad and very healing. Get ready.......Also go to coldfunkpresentslaugh. God is Good! Funk Music Hall of fame,you will soon know my name.......The Funk Prophet
Please ask more questions about who wrote the songs. Asked how did they come up with such funky grooves. Asked if it's the lyrics first then the music or vice versa. There's nothing wrong with personal stories, but we love Slave for the music!!!
The learning experiences are extremely valuable. BUT for heaven's sake, talk about Mark "Drac" Hicks and that monumental guitar solo he took. That solo MADE the album !
"there isn't much footage on the original line-up of Slave, apparently their management yanked their crank and told them they weren't ready for television so it didn't get done"
@@johnhenningfield4360 thanks for your response, it's sad that there is barely any live footage of the original members. They were a great band, and I never got to see them live.

That question about Mark Adam's bass setup live & studio and how he got that bass sound (Visions of the Light, New Plateau albums) has always been something of a courosity and still continues to this day. Sadly it remains unanswered. I even tried writing to Mark, but never got an answer. I've seen pix of some of his basses, Fender Jazz, and a three pickup Jazz custom, and Alembic Series I. I own these basses as well. I know these sounds and can hear the Jazz bass sounds on the older albums and possibly the Series I sound on the albums I mentioned. I guess it will be one of those unanswered mysteries, like James Jamerson's sound, but I'll keep looking out for stuff about Slave and how Mark Adams aka Hanslor got that bass sound and what he used to get it. Slave is still one of my favorite groups that I listen to. Thanks for the question. Perhaps someday, we'll both learn the anawers!
***** I enjoyed watching this interview. I'm from Cincinnati and grew up on Ohio Funk bands like Slave, I was glad to hear Mr Lockett's stories and learned a lot about the band that I would not have from reading about them. I have a show called Deeper Than Atlantis: Diggin' In Da Crates on Soul Public Radio (www.soulpublicradio.com) that airs every Saturday at 7pm EST and I just happen to be featuring music from Slave (and also music from Steve Arrington and Aurra). I'll shout you out too. Peace.

Fantastic music and singers! Too bad about the business history. They just wanted to perform. They thought they had competent business representatives. Long live their music and the funk.

TVOne's Unsung really need to do an episode on the group Slave.
unsung has become a complete joke.
I agree...I am ready, it would be great to expound upon my days with Slave...lots of info to cover!
Their scared to do that because they know it's going to uncover who murdered Mark Adams.. Somebody out there knows who did this and it was all about the money..
All I can say is (Thank You) Slave music molded me into the man I am today. Slave was a complete package to me in terms of overall (MUSIC LISTENING!)
This program is priceless...
Great interview. Love the incite!

Steve Washington wrote most of Slaves songs. He was the leader of the group, and owns the trademark.
SHOUT OUT TO SLAVE RIP TO MR.MARK AND DRAC--SLAVE / NWA / GETO BOYZ 4 LIFE 🎤💯👋 👋
What a nice man. Interesting interview.
great interview.
WDAO was a mainstay during my years at the University of Cincinnati.
i played bass with ronnie cochran in shawnie mack and the package. ronnie was hilarious.
The learning experiences are extremely valuable. BUT for heaven's sake, talk about Mark "Drac" Hicks and that monumental guitar solo he took. That solo MADE the album !
it was drac and danny webster both doing solos....
@@footfunk1 On "Slide"?? I know Danny was playing rhythm guitar on that, but you're telling me he soloed on that too??
Nope! Drac did the solos. Danny was on rhythm.
Thomas and Turk, where are all of live recordings/videos of the original Slave?
Rick Barnes Don Kirschner concerts clips found on youtube. Only Drac released a dvd video when they broken up already prior to his passing.
