Steve Arrington is definitely a master of FUNK. Funk is the cornerstone of ALL music.

[@BKHoliwell]

Steve Arrington, I exclaim is the "Minister Of Funk" and will assuredly get everyone all Funkified up on the dance floor with his driving syncopated beat!

[@roycecovington2154]

So glad to see that Steve is still with us and kept his voice!

[@leongreen8055]

I just thought he could have taken care of himself that got so big and not dressed nice you know I mean they just better when he was younger as cutting all I'm saying when he first recorded those songs he look better then than they do now and I realize that we get older my face feature change but we can take care of myself better than that we have a show to do with them when I was saying with this group called Truth and we was on tour with the O'Jays was on The O'Jays record record label and 1977 and we didn't show in New Orleans and they got upset with Eddie Levert because they won't let them bring all the equipment on the stage cuz it took too much time to set them up and then break them down but I've always loved this band but you look just so much you no different than he was when he was young up again like I said I know we get old enough a sweet to change but that's no excuse for looking bad like that I mean that outfit you should have you just threw something on and that was it that's he should know better than that

[@williamsnyder7945]

Have mercy. Yup.

[@larrybutler8965]

You remember the drummer and the bass would kick the songs off.. make em hungry Steve! Talking bout funk.. You remember you’d be walking through neighborhood and there would be some music .. I mean somebody actually playing music.. You draw to it like a magnet. That’s where it all started.. Jamming on somebody’s porch, garage, and at the park.. Aw yeah you stayed to the end.. Yep I was there.. LB realize your youth, July 2022..

[@Walid-bu4kl]

There is no definition to any music. The music must be positive. 👍

I grew up with this.I’m so happy I experienced the real joy of real original funk.

[@itate363]

SLAVE is one of the greatest bands I’ve ever heard. I can’t get enough!! Signed a eternally grateful admirer all of 25 yrs old. Steve Arrington thank ya!

I appreciate your condolences, Leonard, but there is such a thing in this country ( USA) as free speech & free expression!! And you are being very insensitive & contradictory; and as a matter of fact, I am very offended by your statement!!

Slide was 2nd song I learned to play, first one on bass, and made me a bass player for 40+ years. It's a tragedy the luck that befallen on them. They are what many of us found out what funk was, sounding raw but tight. All the guys thar are still with us, got a little thick in the middle, but the funk still shines thru. Thanks for the memories

[@Suri-o7w]

Slave was once a 🏠 hold name back in the days but then Steve Arrington went solo but even so... this new generation of folks aren't as familiar with this iconic band nor this iconic hunk of a man and who was once lead vocalist but is now solo artist Mr Steve Arrington he is most definitely a icon and legend I really love this man always been a fan matter fact a whole air conditioner feeling a little over heated WOW 🔥

[@rcollins4958]

Man listen...SLAVE is definitely in the historic album of the black community's legends of music.

[@charlesjackson1693]

Eric EQ Young on the bass. He brought the funk for so many years to Confunkshun. He's now playin with Charlie Wilson. Bad dude.

[@mikebrown9104]

Steve still himself sound just like slave good music like always!

Steve Arrington is an r & b legend man no doubt One of the trailblazers of the Dayton Sound Solo songs like Nobody Can Be You, Weak at the Knees, Feel So Real & Dancin in the Key of Life are timeless r & b classics I remember Jermaine Dupri and JZ sampled Weak at the Knees in the song Money Ain't a Thang If Steve isn't in the R&B Hall of Fame he needs to be there im sure he's earned it

Is that Steve Arrington? Wow. He hasn't missed any meals. Guy was one of the best from 1978-1982.

[@I_be_e]

Why come here to disrespect the legend when the rest of us that are just glad the brother is still living here with us and enjoying his gift of music. Your a whole clown

[@crosbonit]

​@@I_be_e Can you not read? "Guy was one of the best from 1978-1982." This is one of the problems we have. The inability to comprehend while evaluating reality. The guy is just a little larger than he was back then, dog. Damm, people are just too sensitive.
