Summary: Upper Persuasion for the Lower Invasion
Comment: I discovered Slave in the early 90's after devouring Steve Arrington's Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame, Vol. 1 and his now hard to get Steve Arrington Hall Of Fame, positive power. I have to confess that being a total nut for all things Stevie, the cuts that stand out for me have him to the fore. Songs like' Snap Shot (with it's stop/start bass, electric, it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up) Wait for me (with it's lovely string arrangement) the classic over sampled 'Touch of Love', (which also features the vocal talents of, what would later be known as Aurra (& much later Deja).But there are other toons where Steve shares the funk:' Stone Jam, (even through Steve, brings it on that tune). I defy you not to like 'Watching You', which was inspired by the band checking out the ladies in Central Park. This CD also features moments from the fore mentioned Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame, Vol. 1 , 'Nobody Can Be You', 'Weak At The Knees', and the classic ' Way Out'. All in all this is a great place to get into Slave, and especially the man known as Steve Arrington. I would also recommend:Stone Jam as an ideal starting point for other Slave CDs.

Summary: Great CD
Comment: I'm giving this compilation a 4 because there are a few tracks that I like that aren't included. Other than that this is a great comp by Slave
Customer Rating:
Summary: the funk runs out of steam
Comment: this compilation loses its momentum at the half way point. but as it goes up the hill with songs like 'just a touch of love' and 'slide' it is a helluva ride!

Summary: Truly the Best of Slave
Comment: I grew up listening to most of the songs on this album, and I know that Steve Arrington and the rest of Slave are chillin' sittin' on royalties due to them, especially by their songs being sampled by rappers. I was amazed at how Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri used Slave's "Weak In the Knees" for the hit "Money Ain't A Thang". As good as the rap hit is, the original song (and every song on this CD) is da bomb. I strongly recommend this CD for the lovers of funk or just simple classy music.
