We show that the soliton and heavy meson are bound in an attractive harmonic oscillator potential. The Isgur-Wise function for $Λ_b\rightarrowΛ_c\, e^-\,\barν_e$ decay is computed in the large $N_c$ limit. Corrections to the form factor which depend on $m_N/ m_Q$ can be summed exactly ($m_N$ and $m_Q$ are the nucleon and heavy quark masses). We find that this symmetry breaking correction at zero recoil is only $1\%$.18 pages, 0 figures, uses harvmacHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyThe Baryon Isgur-Wise Function in the Large $N_c$ Limittext
