Slave - Sizzlin’ Hot
Posted by eddie | Filed under Funk Gems
Seriously one of the hardest funk bands ever! Inspirational lead singer Steve Arrington started out his career with these guys before eventually going solo, but never found the same success that he had with Slave. This track from their 1980 album Stone Jam. Hard funk gem!
