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.

"Dancing In The Key Of Life" reveals his conversion, not "Just A Touch Of Love."

Did anyone say anything about EMPD using this song? Has anyone notice the effects around the 1 min. mark? There's another version of the same video on YouTube minus the effect. Shot from the same angle.. How did they do that?

the jam that put this group on the funk map was "Slide". It went no. 1 on the r and b charts in 77' and the group was known for sheer funk. Steve Arrington came later and helped shaped the groups funk legacy. He later became a minister. His song "Just a Touch a Love" reveals his conversion. The industry was not friendly to his beliefs. So he left it.

No problem man. It was from his self titled "Keith Sweat" album released in 1996. The same album that spawned the hits "Nobody" and "Twisted". Keith had a great year at that time and gained more national exposure by winning a Grammy that year.
