I love it but I always have to give the dis crown to Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. Due to the added bonus of him having the person he is dissing singing chorus in the song.

[John E. Dynamite]

I love the whole P-Funk run, I really do. I even like the late-run Parliament records. But for me, it's always going to be the first three Funkadelic LPs.

[Elsalvajeloco]

Why was I thinking you posted something with Cicely Tyson before the videos loaded? I just started laughing my ass off.

[Burgundy LaRue]

Don't laugh, friend.  Ms. Jane Pittman can probably take it to Funkytown with the best of them.

Since there's even bigger funk fans than me on this board, does anyone recognise the song Caswell Martin comes to the ring to in this match from Germany?

 

[Thomas Bugg]

Just so you all know, I'm about to flood this thread with songs from Slave! Someone already posted their most famous song, Slide. But they were so much more.

 

And the female singer, Starleta Young? Oh my GOD, if I were old enough back then I would've had a massive crush on her!

 

In all of these songs that I post here, one thing will be a constant theme in all of them: BASS!!!

 

 

Shake It Up. Dig the sax solo.

 

 

 

I'd Like To Get You

 

 

Just A Touch Of Love. I'm surprised no one's posted this one, seeing as how every rapper pre-Lex Luger/Three 6 sound sampled the shit out of it. Even Keith Sweat did a remake. And you can hear Starleta Young's fine ass singing in the background.

 

 

Watchin' You. Another heavily-sampled one.

 

 

Dreamin'. DAMN THAT BASS!!!

 

 

Feel My Love

 

 

Sizzlin' Hot. These boys wasn't playin' around!

 

 

Snap Shot. Steve Arrington at his best.

 

 

Wait For Me

 

 

Also, Slave had an offshoot band named Aurra, with the aforementioned goddess Starleta Young!
