The album cover is showing that the Black Man is a Strong Man that often has the weight of the world on his shoulders!
Yes, it is like the Greek character Atlas holding up the world.
Still true to this day, friends.
I like♥️♥️
I thought their second album was much better than their first but it didn't as much attention. It had a vicious funk rock instrumental called "Volcano Rupture".
in other words = Atlas
R.I.P Mark Adams one the most underrated bass players
Yes he was Shirley Redmond!👍
Agreed 100%
You ain't neva lied.
Say it again y'all
Agreed!
We was on the dance floor the entire song back in the 70s...this was the jam!
Brothers came straight out of high school with this song and recorded that on one take.
The cover is a recreation of Atlas holding the world. Is significant in body building as that is the trophy for Mr. Universe.
LOVE “Slide”. One of my favorite songs by Slave. You caught the bicycle horn, but you didn’t catch that the other sound you hear is from an actual 10-speed bicycle wheel turning.
Yeah Jammin, right again, Slave was another funk band that was a reckoning force back in the day. This song was a "monster" when the vinyl hit the radio stations and the dance floor.
YES!❤
This was one of my very favorite songs back in '77.....yes horn is great!
Your party wasn't offficial if this wasn't played. This STILL kicks booooootay!!!
Slave was my group. Love them
Yes, that was a bicycle horn in the song. Bike horns were in a lot of (New York?) pop hits in the late 70s.
Doing a comparison on the generations which may be unfair a little, but, these artists were really for the most part, right out of high school. The ability to write, actually PLAY the music, sing in their own voices, and most importantly, not copying others made a difference for our range of music. Slave didn't sound like Con Funk Shun, the Bar Kays didn't sound like the Isley Brothers. Every group had their own sound which made the creative competition better with each group.
Exactly not like Today. Today a lot of Artist sound too much ALIKE. Back then they were Very Creative. They All had their own sound.
THE JAM ...this is the song that put Slave on the map in 1977....Slave is one of my favorite funk bands of the 70s probally in my top 5....you knew a Slave song just by their unique bass guitar sound....they sound nothing like Parliament at all....best way to describe Slave is that they were New Jack Swing before anyone knew what that was...New Jack fused with rock, funk, r&b...great reaction
One of My FAVS.
Yes! High school days in the Land of Funk, Dayton, OH! Yes, they’ve said that is indeed a Schwinn bicycle horn.
R. I. P. Mark Adams (bass), Mark Hicks (lead/rhythm guitars), and Danny Webster (vocals, September 2020).
Always amazes me how intricate these songs are but yet they were overlooked back then because of the genre.
THE Funk anthem! The "Hansolor" Mark Adams on bass and Mark "Drac" Hicks on lead guitar! One of the hardest grooves in funk history! Slave has always been among the funk elite! 💯
B4 there was Slave, there was the Ohio Players, never 4get that.
Yesssssir ! Str8 funk ! Slave came hittin hard and nasty ! Stank face funk !
Agreed!!! I wore the grooves off this one !!
Bassist Mark Adams was only 17 years-old and the track was cut in just one take, sick talent, sick!
Come to think of it, Drack on the guitar solo was about the same age as Mark Adams, 17 or 18, ridiculous!
MY BROTHA, THAT CHORUS SAID YOU CAN SLIDE YOUR FINGERS ON IT., LOVE THESE BLACKNIFICENT BROTHAS, THAT WAS A BIG HIT 4 THEM
This was their very first hit. Pre Steve Arrington of the 80's. Steve Washington was the leader in 77 and he was from my HS in East Orange, NJ.... When Arrington took the lead they blew up on the R&B and Pop charts, but were still FUNKYYYY....
I was 11 years old in 77. My cousin introduced me to this album along with all of the PFunk things that were happening. This was the first song I learned on bass. I was thrilled when I finally got it down after moving the record needle back and forth to try to catch the nuances. I'm so glad your channel is doing this man. Keep up the excellent work. Nobody, I mean nobody is reacting to what you react to, and I wish more would. but we got Just Jammin' bringing back great memories of production and musicianship on the Soul side. Thank you Brother.
THAT BASS IN CERTAIN PARTS SOUND HE ABOUT TO PLAY LAKESIDE FANTASTIC VOGAGE.
The was THE jam and got MAJOR radio play....was a #1 R&B hit! I was a kid when that cut was hot ....I remember we would ride our bikes slow down the street in the neighborhood saying “sliiiiiidddeeee........sliiiidddeee” in unison......great cut!!!
One of my favorite songs of the summer of 1977 I was 8 years old almost 9. Summer of 77 had a lot of great songs.
This was the Jam! There was a dance called "The Slide" that naturally everyone did to this song. Great memories!
I love these'' Reaction to'' videos..It gives younger folks a chance to hear great music for the first time as folks my age enjoyed it.. If you like the groove on 'Slide' from Slave..you should check out "Sizzling Hot'' from Slave..it will blow your mind
Snapshots Funky too
Slide is considered classic funk and is included on a lot of funk compilations.
You have uncovered a serious jewel young man.
Most of these dudes were teenagers when they made this song. The Fearless Leader Steve Washington help bring this all together to include bringing us Aurra, going on to help write hits for P-Funk. Be sure to check out Stone Jam, Volcano Rupture, Drac is Back, Are you Ready for Love, The Worlds on Hard, to many list.
Yeah! Slide.... Slide... Slide... LOVE IT!!❤️❤️ And you have to do the Slide to it. Great #memories
Definitely. I can also hear the horn section influence of Brass Construction. Slave benefited greatly from the music of the times.
The very definition of funky...man dude, talk about filling up the dance floor. WOW.
These boys where in the 10th grade High Schol when they made this album, SERIOUSLY TALENT !!!!
That was a a mean guitar solo and these guys were only 18 19 years old when they dropped this album. Kids playing some serious funk in Dayton Ohio.
Remember my brother. This song is a true classic from these guys known as Slave 😌👌💯
I was a black kid in the projects in 1977 when this came out. Knowing that some other black teenagers hit it big was truly inspiring. Get down with the get down J.J. PeeEss : Mark and Drac, rest in power.💯
This was played at skating rings back in the days. 😊
Summer Madness on the intro😎& one best funk Group of all time 👍🏾
If you dig Slave check out "Wait for Me" and other songs by Steve Arrington like "Spice of Life", "Weak at the Knees", "Dancing in the Key of Life" and "Feel so Real".
"Weak In The Knees" is my favorite jam by them. I was reminded when I saw them live at Wingate Park in Brooklyn. Ever since then, "Weak In The Knees" has been in my playlist...
Deep into the funk here. Still holds up just like back in the day.
At the time album covers were very important. Since vinyl was in a 12in x 12in package it was an opportunity for the group to convey a message as to who they were.
Snap Shot. One of their best.
WOW Just Jammin, you're reacting to so many top r&b funk bands that were and still are my faves. I LOVE SLAVE❣My dad n I yousta groove to this song back in the day. 💃🕺🤩✌
Ah yeah!😍 The great Mark Hicks on the lead guitar. RIP And that slide bass playing by Mark Adams! RIP also. Loved this band back in the day! Representing southwest Ohio from the city of Dayton! 👍😊
I am James F Jr... Don't quote me but, I would imagine the weight of the sphere on his shoulders is the Struggles we endure in LIFE. I would say that Blacks have endured but that could stir up something. Slide is a combination of Rock, Funk and just feel Good music. Drac the guitarist Rest his Soul and Mark Adams. Drac on of the greatest guitarist of all time. I believe he also Influenced people I would imagine such as Vernon Reid of Living Colour. However, Black guitarist did not stop with Jimi Hendrix. Listen to Mint Condition. Anyway, this Song and Touch of Love, and Screw Your Wig on Tite are my favourite Slave Songs. I am in my 60s and am happy young people get to experience this Great music. Be Bless ALL.
another jam like this was "Glide" by Pleasure, you gots ta do that one
Slave😎yes! Turn 60 today! Bring back some memories. We used to Jam this & still DO!!! That them OHIO boys letting it go! A lot groups came out Ohio
You should check out more of the Dayton Funk. Sun, Ohio Players, Lakeside, Heatwave, Zapp, the list goes on. Dayton, Ohio was the Land of Funk in the 70's and 80's. It is the most sampled music there is, thanks to the west coast rappers, they loved their funk
Mark Adams on that bass. Crack on that guitar. Bro they were teenagers when they recorded this song. Think about that..
these guys were teenagers when they released this song and album
My favourite jam from Slave! The bicycle horn worked.🎸🎷🎶🎺
You youngsters HAVE TO GET WITH THE FUNGKH! Slave was HUGE! The cover depicts the STRUGGLE, the weight of the World on our shoulders.
Drac on guitar, Mark on THE MONSTER BASS! IT'S about the BASS.
The album cover is a nod to depictions and statues of the Greek titan/god, Atlas, who was condemned to carry the weight of the world (or the Heavens) on his shoulders. In this instance this very, very ripped brother on the cover represents an Atlas type character and that ball could represent the institution of slavery. Either way, Atlas is the inspiration. Slave was a hard-hitting funk band that had a good run (like every funk band of note, they had a superior bassist and this one had is own signature. He's got memorable bass lines throughout their library. I'm sure Slave has been heavily sampled; certainly their hits that followed this. No great or outstanding lead singer; they flat-out jammed. ANOTHER GEM OF A RECOMMENDATION FOR YOU: PLEASURE (songs, "Glide" and "Thoughts of Old Flames." - Trust.
Drac - one of the best guitar riffs ever !!!!
Awwww I just love your channel🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song forever goes hard
Steve Arrington was another Dayton, OH legend......
Their first song! Many of them were 16 when they made this...
Teenagers, really amazing, but growing up in the Midwest in 70s there were a lot of young dudes playing like this. Dayton simply had a lock on it. A friend of mine who grew up with these dudes, said it came out of the competition within school bands and neighborhood battle of the bands.
The 80's Slave was totally different than the late 70's Slave.... They had a more raw funky sound in the 70's and more polished sound in the 80's with Steve Arrington.....
How about that.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO MORE FUNKADELIC LP'S BEFORE ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE. YOU WILL HEAR WHERE THIS CAME FROM.
One nation was released in 1978
Slide released in 77
Another great funk group from back in the day. Btw playing Summer Madness on the intro brings back memories of listening to one of the greatest underrated albums of all time.i wore that thing out. Summer Madness was the surprise on that album, the rest of it being super funk, that was Kool and the Gang at their best before they sold out and turned pop. You’ve got to go through that album if you haven’t already.
funky song in my senior year of high school. party anthem for sure. make sure your speakers can handle the funk....
Sliiide!!!!
Most of their early albums were a reference to "Slave". The cover with the man holding the baby was a direct reference to the book and movie, "Roots".
Steve Arrington and Slave had the 70s and early 80s lit!! They had this one joint called, 'Snap shot' I think U would enjoy probably better than this one.
Love Snap Shot.
@@dgodfrey3914 U already know what it is!!
Yes, love Snap Shot!
My favorite is "Snap Shot".
@@lb8471 I hear U. Maybe our dude Jammin here will check it out..
To all concerned, you have to hear Steve Arrington & Company do this and "Watchin' You" live! today. This is from February 21, 2020: th-cam.com/video/eK-nFIBjFCE/w-d-xo.html. He has still got it!
First album I ever bought.I was 12 when this came out.I've never been the same since I played it that first time.And I did let my grandmother check this out.She loved it.
You should have been at the roller skating rings. It was hip, and I mean hip back in the mid to late 70s.
Slave from Dayton, Ohio .... which was the funking-est city in the land, one mo' again in the house!
Believe or not and take a look at the video of the song. These cats were teenagers at that time. Hands down the leaders in string. Rip Drac
If you're going to react to any other song by Slave; please react to "Weak In The Knees". This a total funky jam...
That's Steve Arringtons album though.. he wasn't in Slave when Slide came out
JJ, A Tribe Called Quest sampled "Slide" for their song "Go Ahead In The Rain" (1990), a track you've reacted to before
Success N Effect also sampled this for Freeze.
Rest In Peace Mr Mark Adams And Mark Drac Hicks,
Check out their album "Hardness for the World" Also "DRAC IS BACK" Classic Mark Hicks shredding.
On Slave they are sayingYou can slide your finger on it you can slide but we don’t wanna
Another great reaction! :D more slave pls!!
Whoa Breakwater and Slave reaction in one night in one night. Brilliant. Keep it up with the more obscure but brilliant stuff.
The horns put this over the top
Yesssss!!!!💕🎸🎤🎼❤️
Love this song It's so FUNKY!! ❤❤
that is Drac wailing away on that lead guitar!
Glad u finally got to this one. So good
You need too check out their Stone Jam album 😎
Slave ft Steve Arrington is dope
Man you got my sub and like......I been seeing your videos and you really dip into some deep R and B.....I appreciate you sharing your voyage on the mothership with us....live on the 1
Some rap samples.
Go Ahead In The Rain- A Tribe Called Quest
Freeze- Success n Effect
Pawns In The Game- Professor Griff
I'll Make You Weak in The Knees. By Steve Arington one of the members. React to that you will not regret it. One of my favorite records of all time.
Another banger that was always in rotation in our barracks while Deployed Overseas!! "76-78"💽 #MilitaryLife🇺🇲Hooahh!!!
I think this was Slave's first big hit. Sliiiide!
Yes, it was their first hit song, They were teenagers.
What a song to hit with!
Slave . . . "SLIDE" ❣❣❣
Hi guy! Do you know the Ohio Players? They had 2 smashes back in the day." Fire", and " I want to be free". You need them in your life, if you haven't already invited them in!
The similarity you mentioned after the first few seconds is THE FUNK sound. Bands from Ohio and elsewhere spread the Funk sound all over the world.
You will be funketized soon. 🙂🎼🎶🎵
Someone may have already commented regarding the album cover.
I believe it was their depiction of Atlas from Greek mythology.
Slave is definitely one of my favorite funk bands of all time! Hailing from the funk capital, Dayton, Ohio, along with The Ohio Players, Roger & The Zapp Band, Heatwave, Lakeside, Sun and Faze-O, they also spawned the subgroup Aurra and Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame! Their hits included, besides "Slide", "Watchin' You" and "Just A Touch of Love", "Stellar Funghk" th-cam.com/video/EC8Gv_7B5fs/w-d-xo.html , "Snapshot" th-cam.com/video/xd_VR2kaKZQ/w-d-xo.html but you should also review Aurra's "Checkin' You Out" th-cam.com/video/QTlYX2u-npI/w-d-xo.html as well as Steve Arrington's "Way Out" th-cam.com/video/Wvp2p9w3AeI/w-d-xo.html, "Nobody Can Be You" th-cam.com/video/44jtbpZL9t0/w-d-xo.html, "Dancin' In The Key of Life" th-cam.com/video/nVXYsQWvYu0/w-d-xo.html, "Weak At The Knees" (Live! at the Arena Theatre in Houston, Texas): th-cam.com/video/ePe8qiWtt98/w-d-xo.html and "Feels So Real" th-cam.com/video/IS0kS7RINfQ/w-d-xo.html. For the record, I always thought the picture on the cover was of a man holding up a globe of the world but I will ask Steve Arrington to be sure!
Slave in my top 5 bands for sure. On point reaction - nice request.
It's black Atlas holding the Earth!
This was their first release
lets go rollerstaking!
You should have been at the roller skating rings. It was hip, and I mean hip back in the mid to late 70s.
Since you have a thing for Funk Music, I have been playing catch-up on your reactions, I don't recall you ever getting a taste of The Fatback Band. Their songs Backstrokin and Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money) are as funky as it gets. I may be wrong about you listening previously. I have a lot to catch up on.
They also have the rap version on this incorporated into the song. You gotta hear it on your own you'll enjoy im sure
Now this song was my 'national anthem ' back in the day! And whoever the lead guitarist was, Prince or Jimi Hendrix ain't got nothing on this dude!! I wonder was it old Stevie boy himself?
If anything Prince was influenced by Slave.
@@moeanthony9308 I can go for that.
@@innnergmoney8891 Drac was severely under rated. Another guy I recall was Jesse Johnson who was part of the Prince clan. Very underrated guitarist
@@moeanthony9308 Good looking out Man. Wow!! I forgot all about Jesse! I recall his hit, "I wanna be your man' back in the 80s.
@@innnergmoney8891 Exactly. There's an old current video.. Phil joyner show I was like wow. He's still plays venues here and there. Morris day and time start their tour this summer since everything opening up
LOL Wuz just painting my room listening to "Son Of Slide"...Took a break and JJ is listening to "Slide" NICE!!
DJ Magic Mike sampled the bass line for “I Ain’t Finished Yet”. Check it out.
