Arguably the hottest of the '70s Ohio funk bands, Slave had a great run in the
late '70s and early '80s. Trumpeter Steve Washington formed the group in Dayton
in 1975. Vocalist Floyd Miller teamed with Tom Lockett Jr, Charlie Bradley, Mark
Adams, Mark Hicks, Danny Webster, Orion Wilhoite, Curt Jones, and Tim Dozier.
Vocalists Steve Arrington and Starleana Young came aboard in 1978, with
Arrington ultimately becoming lead vocalist. Their first big hit was the
thumping single "Slide" in 1977 for Cotillion; they remained with that label
until 1984. Their best tracks were lyrically simple and at times silly, but the
arrangements and rhythms were intense and hypnotic. Other Top Ten R&B hits were
"Just a Touch of Love" in 1979, "Watching You" in 1980, and "Snap Shot" in 1981.
Young, Washington, and Lockett departed to form Aurra in 1979. Arrington himself
left in the early '80s. They added Charles Carter, Delburt Taylor, Sam Carter,
Kevin Johnson, and Roger Parker as replacements and continued on, though much
less successfully, into the late '80s. They moved to Atlantic for one LP in
1984, then switched to the Atlanta-based Ichiban in 1986 for singles and LPs
that were just a shade of the former vibrant Slave sound. Their most recent
release was The Funk Strikes Back in 1992. Rhino issued Stellar Funk: The Best
of Slave, a first-rate anthology of their finest cuts, in 1994.
