Adams held down the low end on the group’s many classic singles, including “Just A Touch Of Love,” “Slide,” “Snapshot,” “Watching You,” and later joined former Slave frontman Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame project, playing bass on funk jams like “Nobody Can Be You.”

Arrington confirmed Adams’ death on Twitter, writing “My friend since high school has passed early this morning. The great Mark Adams bass player of Slave. I can’t believe it.”
