Slave - Showtime 1981

MAAAN this group doesn't get enough credit.  That good late 70's and early 80's fantasy funk out of Ohio. Somehow Slave was one of the few funk groups that was immune to disco (not that there's anything wrong with disco!!)  It seems as if it's an Ohio thing, Ohio being one of the huge funk portals in the United States.  This record is one of their last successful records, landing on the Top 10 on the R&B charts in '81.  They do a good job of carrying that sci-fi fantasy torch handed off by Earth Wind and Fire into the 80's, bringing in that new groove while sticking to that old school.
