But we can't mention the music of the American Midwest without bringing Dayton into the equation. It's probably more famous in the eyes of fans of RnB music due to the number of great bands that originated there in the 1970s and 80s and gave the world The Ohio Players, Lakeside and Roger Troutman and Zapp, to name but a few, and all available on Robinsongs releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlave\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose music is the focus of this 3CD compilation, selects key musical moments from the group's back catalogue as well as crucial tracks from two of the group's offshoots; drummer-turned-vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Arrington\u003c\/strong\u003e and the band, later to become a duo, \u003cstrong\u003eAurra\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robinsongs","offers":[{"title":"CD | x3","offer_id":50458796130635,"sku":"1156946","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/728dd8be-5bc3-46a4-888d-5f98a98529fd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727214089","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-definitive-collection","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
