"Slick, Black Cadillac" is the opening shot on Quiet Riot II, the second album by the American heavy metal band, which came out only in Japan on December 2, 1978. Kevin DuBrow wrote it and sings it, with Randy Rhoads on guitar and Drew Forsyth on drums; Lee DeCarlo produced it with Warren Entner and engineered with Cary Pritikin, and Mike Beriger mixed. Rudy Sarzo got the album credit and the cover photo, but the bass on the record is Kelly Garni's.
It was Rhoads' last Quiet Riot album before he made his name on Ozzy Osbourne's first two solo records. The song got a second shot, too: the band re-cut it for Metal Health, their 1983 breakthrough.
