Slave - Slide (1977)
Speaking of "Old-School" R&B radio, why do they play SLAVE's other songs, like the irritating Just A Touch Of Love WAY more than Slide?!

Poison Indeed!
Recently, a commercial came on about an upcoming concert featuring Bell Biv Devoe, among others, at the beginning of this ad, I heard the phrase - 3 bands that changed the sound of R&B! Hmmm... first of all, Bell Biv Devoe is NOT a band, they're a group, & second..... yeah, you're right, unfortunately they may have changed the sound of r&b.
Their biggest hit- Poison- shouldn't even be called an R&B song, its actually more hiphop than R&B. The so-called music is more an example of beats than actual musicianship, and the lyrical content is more in the realm of gangsta rap, with its borderline misogyny- "Keeping one eye open, still clocking the hos" & "Me and the crew used to do her" or whatever........
Nothing like the lyrical & musical substance of 70s & 80s R&B.
R&B has gone downhill since Poison.
And isn't it typical that the mindless masses just LOVE Poison, and the so-called Old School R&B stations bombard us with Poison, instead of superior songs I haven't heard in years.
BBD and some other people dumbed down the sound of R&B!

‘One more war based on a total lie’: Protesters across US speak out agai...
Thank you, Sara Flounders for telling the truth!
Just like Iraq and Vietnam were lies.
Funny how western media doesn't seem to care about the women & children being murdered in Yemen!
Stevie Wonder - You And I (We Can Conquer the World)
If this doesn't make you tear up..... you're dead inside.
