Wow i feel thirty years younger just listening to this Funky Music , where did Time go ! Yes the new stuff they call Music Today is just spinning its wheels .
@mevtrop For the record, no pun intended, "Watching You" by Slave was released in 1980. This copy, "Inside Out" which was also produced by Slave, was released in 1982.
when i hear this it makes me want to sell up and go to ibiza forever and play this every morning when i wake looking over the sea.................come on 5 and the bonus
This song brings back so many memories of my teen-age years, and my coming to terms with my sexuality. More than that, it brings back memories of my first love. When I'm 80 years old, I'll sit back and think of this song.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker. True. I say it all the time just like you said. I find myself going back pulling up music from the past I didn't too much care for or overlooked back in the day and it always blows today's best away. Although not the case here for me, I LOVE this old school joint...always have. I am just saying I agree with your comment about the crap they are putting out today.
erm...all comments seem to be from Americans...well, I'm English, but I'll try & join in. Here goes; Hey dude, I dig this shit... man... (How was that?)
@MultiMrPhill Not a bad attempt at the slang. The only issue I can see is the use of "Dude" and "Man" in the same sentence. They are very seldom used in the same phrase. Proper - "Man, I dig this shit!" or "Dude, I dig this shit!"
@marla1477: Yea, I am a major music afficianado. Lifelong househead, I grew up on rick james, the isley bros, parliment p-funk, james brown etc, Si I love it all, disco as well as 70s and 80s funk and soul will always have a special place in my heart. Now Im all about freestyle, deep house music, rock, glam and metal too. I love it all but for me it all started w/ disco!! Big Up!!
this was sampled for a DJ Quik produced track...inside out...he appreciates this music...otherwise he wouldn't have sampled it! This song is sweet, love originals (even tho it sounds like ''watching you'' :P)
This is my music love song from back in the days of being a state fair player..yyeeeehh i pops the p's in all the female's minds and give yu that sweet taste in yur mouth....but sad to say its not like that anymore :( can't b bad forever!!
Funny thing...this is the same song as "Watching You." This producer double dipped and got 2 hits from one SLAMMIN' beat. I didn't notice as a kid, we just loved both...of course the slave version is better—better story, better vocals!

Just amazing, everything about ths song says "CLASS, IT'S AN ALLTIME CLASSIC". The bassline still gets me today and I still wonder how it was played. Its just an awesome track, and yeah, I'm still learning the bassline..
@kax61 Who played bass in this song has been under debate for years: Sandy Anderson or the late Mark Adams. But rumor has it that it was Sandy Anderson. If it was Anderson, he has gotten Adams' style down to the Tee!
@SuperBalloon1 - The musicians haven't really "gone" anywhere, you have a ton of good ones for example in the jazz community, it's just that music like this isn't the "flavor of the today" so they're underground.
This is not one of my favorite old school jams...but anything is better then the crap they are putting out today. Even the not so hot music from back in the 70s,80s and 90s sounds better then the best they got today.
@coachsoop what you mean "WAS" the joint? This shit is STILL the jam! First time I heard it it came on WBLS it was a late sat night and I heard this jam come on and yo this shit made me jump up, throw some gear on and bounce to the club!!! No one spins the old school jams Like WBLS Quiet Storm!! NYC IN THE BUILDING ALL DAY!!!
@Nyhousedancer7 could that club be; The World or Bentley's, could it be The Red Parrot, the Latin Quarters... maybe you travelled over to S.Orange NJ to Club 88.... lol...cause you sound like a real music affecionado'.. 80's music still had elements of disco.. which we know evolved into House/Club
jimmy douglass stole this song from slave...i know because he stole songs from me....wayne foote and did not properly credit me on bad enuff or new plateau thanks jimmy..yes i still hold a grudge very much so.plus he screwed me out of my publishing with slave....that's o'k' because now even 30 years later i wil produce my own shit on the web watch out for my debut film "the art attack"
@donkeydick11 Inside out, was produced, ghost written by Steve, Arrington of Slave. It also features, the same musicians that played on Slave's, "Watching You", including the bass player. I have been D.J', for the last 25 years and most of us who have been doing it, know this as fact.
DANG IT...DANG IT!!! I'm finding all these old club and disco joints on Youtube tonight!!! LOLOL I remember this - this was the lick up in Silks Nite Club in Emeryville CA. and The Palladium in Frisco back in the day. I love this song...such a cool funk beat. Thats for a great post!!!
you have 2 turn from the Inside ..and share Out..4 others to really feel..and be moved, you can also just close your eyes and express,with a smile on your face, on the dance floor ..That's how we connect..when loving a groove "Like" this.
Because the music is done by slave mark adams and steve arrington as well as other members of slave play the music for odyssey as well as orca another slave production. There is only one slave sound with that driving beat and that stereo bass From master han solo(mark adams)
