The one's that stand out in my Mind, as The Best Soul/Funk/Jazz/R&B Albums ever Released. All of them, I purchased on Vinyl many Years ago and also now have them on CD or Digital Download today.
You may have a Differing view (as we all do) on these Choices, but these are my Favorites!
Number 15...........SLAVE..........SHOWTIME
It was the Last album to Feature "Steve Arrington" before He left to Form His Own Band "Hall of Fame" the Following Year!
The Album Reached Number 46 on the US Billboard Pop Album Chart and Number 7 on the Us Billboard Soul Album Chart.
The Track list, as follows:
- "Snap Shot" 4:43 ( Adams, Arrington, Carter, Douglass, Miller)
- "Party Lites" 4:55 (Adams, Arrington, Carter, Webster)
- "Spice of Life" 4:57 (Douglas, Carter, Arrington)
- "Smokin" 5:25 ( Carter, Webster, Arrington)
- "Wait for Me" 5:18 (Adams, Arrington, Carter, Webster)
- "Steal Your Heart" 5:24 (Adams, Arrington, Carter, Douglass, Webster)
- "For the Love of U" 5:08 (Adams, Arrington, Carter, Carter, Miller, Webster)
- "Funken Town" 3:46 ( Carter, Webster, Miller, Johnson, Parker, Carter, Arrington)
Slave Personal for the Album:
- Danny Webster: lead and rhythm guitar, percussion, lead and backing vocals
- Kevin Johnson: rhythm and lead guitar
- Sam Carter: keyboards, percussion, vocals
- Charles Carter: flute, saxophone, keyboards
- Mark Antone Adams: bass guitar, keyboards, vocals
- Steve Arrington: drums, percussion, vocals
- Roger Parker: drums, percussion
- Delburt Taylor: keyboards, flute, trumpet, flugelhorn, vocals
- Floyd Miller: trumpet, trombone, percussion
All Track's were Uptempo, apart from One (Track 7) and that was Probably the Weakest Track on the Album!
Which was The Best Track, I would probably say "Wait For Me"
but they are all Great, but as I Love the "Bass" with the Late "Mark Adams" being my Favorite Bass Player, I also Liked "Smokin"
The Album had 3 Singles Released: Tracks 1, 5 and 2, with "Snap Shot" gaining the Highest Chart Placing!
The only Trouble was, on the Journey back from Holiday, the Suitcase must have Been "Really Hot" on the Aeroplane, Because the First Track on the Album was "Warped" so that Meant Track 1 on Both Sides "Was Unplayable" Snap Shot and Wait For Me!
Luckily these were The Single Releases, so I got them that Way.
What a Fantastic Album and to think its now 31 Year's Old!
Play or Download the Album!
