Slave was formed in 1975 by Trumpeter Steve Washington in Dayton, Ohio.Vocalist Floyd Miller teamed with Tom Lockett Jr, Charlie Bradley, Mark Adams, Mark Hicks, Danny Webster, Orion Wilhoite, 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 single "Slide" in 1977. Their best tracks were lyrically simple and at times silly, but the arrangements and rhythms were intense and hypnotic. Their song "Drac is Back" exemplifies all three of these qualities.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. 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 1980s. Arrington himself left in the early '80s.

This was one of the best funk groups out at that time and they could afford to pay everybody...Slaves music going back to slide was always a Party favorite with is dope bassline no wonder that we in hip hop embraced it or rather them at that time..Especially "Son of Slide" Those were the label soaking off days of hip hop (Rainbow Records on 125th and what was Lenox Ave or Blue Note Records on 116th and 3rd ave) among other places
