Slave Vinyl Records: A Legacy of Funk and Soul

In a music industry dominated by rock and pop, Slave emerged as one of the most influential funk bands of the 1970s and 1980s. Formed in 1976 by Steve Washington, Mark Woods, and Curtis Jones, the group's unique blend of soulful vocals, driving beats, and catchy hooks helped to define the sound of a generation.

With hits like "Slide" and "Watching You," Slave built a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in music.
