SLAVE - Watching You

In 1975 the funk band Slave was formed in Dayton, Ohio, and by 1977 they had a hit with their single Slide. On their third album in 1978 drummer/ percussionist Steve Arrington joined the band, before long his role expanded to back-up singer too. By Stone Jam, the band's fifth album in 1980, Arrington had taken over more singing responsibility singing lead on a few of the albums tracks. Because of the popularity of those tracks, including the often-sampled song Watching You, in 1980 Arrington took over as the group's lead vocalist. It wasn't long before Arrington would expand his role again, and in 1982 he left Slave to start his own band - Steve Arrington's Hall Of Fame.
