If there is a heaven, I hope i walk into it and i see this. God would be Larry; dressed up in all white, slapping his funk bass and talkin jive as fuck.
Man oh man...Love his groove...how he loves what he is doing...Not too many in this world can say that !....Long live Larry Graham.... d............n !
greg errico and larry graham are the best rhythm section in the history of funk! sly was very foolish to let these two walk away from the family stone!
Thanks Larry for introducing a totally fun and enjoyable bass playing experience that has become so unique and inspiring that it's addictive to beginners and veteran players alike.

Larry Graham is GOD ! He is just like Hendrix on the paddles . Can you imagine Graham as Hendrix's bass player ? Nice things to think about while hearing this master of the Bass
Graham was so Claypool before Claypool..lol. He's the Best man!! I was thumpin from the start someone told me my band sounded like the RHCP It was 88 I never heard of them. I went and bought 2 of there albums and was blown away. I got into Stanley Clark and few other jazz bassist but not Larry. I had all the pedals he has just about and was using a wah pedal in 1990 man I feel like he did all before anyone.
what you know about Graham Central Station and Larry Graham music and what do you know about good quality music? you look like a hip hop fan with all those off key singers and artist that don't know a note of music
Rolls in laughter...Oh I know so much that you have no idea but trust this, If Mr. Graham or anyone who knows him personally sees my message, he will instantly know the connection with Malcolm Ave.
MrTeatreeoil Nods yep I have fond memories of him and his kindness, I used to look for an Orange GTO car he had with a psychedelic roof.....the first gas pedal I saw that was shaped like a foot. Man I was on cloud 9.....
