I grew up listening to most of the songs on this album, and I know that Steve Arrington and the rest of Slave are chillin' sittin' on royalties due to them, especially by their songs being sampled by rappers. I was amazed at how Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri used Slave's "Weak In the Knees" for the hit "Money Ain't A Thang". As good as the rap hit is, the original song (and every song on this CD) is da bomb. I strongly recommend this CD for the lovers of funk or just simple classy music.
