Slave is an American funk band, known for their groovy basslines, rhythmic guitar, and soulful melodies that played a significant role in shaping the post-disco sound of the late '70s and early '80s. Formed in Dayton, Ohio, in 1975, the group quickly established themselves with their self-titled debut album "Slave," which featured the hit single "Slide." Following the success of their debut, Slave continued to build their legacy with a series of albums that enthralled funk enthusiasts. The band's line-up saw many changes over the years, but their commitment to funk remained steadfast.

Hits like "Just A Touch Of Love", "Watching You", and "Snap Shot" cemented their status in the funk genre, compelling listeners to groove to their infectious beats. Over time, they demonstrated their ability to adapt and evolve, as evidenced in the re-recording and remastering of key tracks, which introduced their sound to new generations. Albums such as "Stone Jam," "Show Time," and "Visions Of The Lite" showcased the band's musical depth and innovative spirit. Despite the natural ebb and flow of their career, compilations like "Slave Live In Concert" remind fans of the powerful energy that the group brings to the stage, and their most recent releases underline their continued relevance and enduring influence on contemporary music.
