One of my favorite old school JAMS! Anybody have any thoughts on that song??

That's one of my favorite old school jams too. Hey, did you know that Snoop Dogg samples it in his current single "Let's Get Blown"?

I remember that. They weren't that far apart in terms of release, right? Odyssey's song came out not too long after Slave's. I wonder if Slave got royalties for that.

They should have got the royalties, but I'm not sure if they did. You're right, "Watching You" was released in 1980 & Odyssey came out with "Inside Out" in 1982

Watching You is the jam. Shyne sampled it for Living Like A Hoodlum song on his unreleased cd Dear America. Slave's Just A Touch Of Love song is the jam also. That was sampled by Kris Kross for Alright song. Keith Sweat did a remake of Just A Touch Of Love. Steve Arrington who was the lead singer of Slave is from Dayton, Ohio & he's a pastor now at a church in Dayton.

The song is the bomb! That is my second favorite song my Slave behind "Just a Touch Of Love." It was also sampled in the early 90s on Snoop's "Gin and Juice."

'Slide' is the number one Slave song has far as I'm concerned!

isiahthomas · 02-05-2005, 12:15 PM

I remember Slide. Cameo did a remake of that. Tribe Called Quest sampled Slide for Go Ahead In The Rain song.
