Larry invented slap bass . DUDE is amazing . Legend .

[@deadbeatproz]

funk father on the bass.

[@ARANDALL53]

Larry Graham has outlived and outplayed more outstanding bass players than you can count! Add to that, his great spirit and humble presence.

[@glenndjubilee]

Larry Graham is a upstanding human being and an OUTSTANDING musician. He has been an influence on how I approach the bass. Thanks Larry, Godfather of Funk!!

[@marcusstewart4444]

Amazing for him to last that long and to have that quality in his sound a true bass legend!

[@jofreeman9517]

Exactly!!! He has the same voice, and can jam that base guitar just as he done so in the 70's.

[@ddawg470]

MASTER!! Had the privilege of seeing him and his band I was dancin’ like a MF for real true legend and pioneer these are the people who should run the music industry!! Just saying 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@nashboro1847]

So beautiful! People lovin' and jammin' Larry Graham and SLY all over the world!!!

[@BULKBOGANS]

Graham on You Tube. That's entertainment.

[@paulemma8125]

It’s so great all these comments about this amazing musician. There couldn’t be enough exclamation points !!!! Or words written in CAPITOL letters to explain our admiration for this man. Larry the fans have spoken.........Funk on Larry we love you.

[@everrettcadotte-xr4hh]

What the FUCK! This guy is a destroyer of destruction and I mean that in a good way! Every time he plays a live show he does it like it is his last! RIP to his friend Prince. I will never forget or stop loving you the memories are eternal. Cheers to the music lovers of KZbin .

[@Tutor2KMC]

Larry is Amazing on Bass Guitar he has Awesome Groove & Awesome Bass playing. I love watching him & learning from Larry - Vernon

[@timcox9021]

Gotta give the female vocalist her props. She's filling the shoes of the legendary Patrice Chocolate Banks - heavyass shoes to fill, no doubt. She does a great job here - all night long.

[@XPurefunkX]

+tim cox I agree. She can hold her own.

[@JeffWatchesYoutube]

Her vocals on I Can't Stand The Rain at 28:30 blow me away. When they slow it down at 31:50 and lead into her super soulful breakdown, I literally get chills. It's just so good.

[@ivalo03]

What is the women name?

[@Aaron-iy3bj]

Sooner or later....everyone knows how outstanding this guy is. A legend doesn’t do justice.

[@ChuckKarges]

I had that album the jam was the first song been listening to larry my whole life thank u

[@atreide9358]

I was on this stage, wonderful memories

[@ichunt6165]

You think he is bad now you should have seen him back in the 70's. No one and I mean no one wanted to come behind him in concert. He would flat turn a concert out. I saw Chic get literally booed off stage after they were the headliner and came on after Graham had literally ripped the floor up.

[@roger1uk676]

This guy is The main man! He is the original funk and slap maestro!

[@andreavelinoGTR]

I also witnessed Graham several times back in the day. Like you said , NOBODY wanted to follow him. I saw folks walk out on the Ohio Players, The Isley Bros, and he made the Temptations seriously sweat ! It was so severe that some places wouldn't even put his name on the marque ! I saw them in some places where in my personal opinion , the sound company would purposely mess with the sound system. The Cow Palace comes to mind when there was a double bill with Tower of Power. Graham Central Station... What a dynamic group !!!

[@markbritton6798]

I can think of a few others who could compete .Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clark, Charlie Mingus Ron carter! I love Larry Graham but he wern't the one & only!!!!

[@gaffneykenneth1]

Yep

[@wreloise1]

I may be late in responding...FABULOUS by Jehovah’s Grace & Mercy

I hope stay with us for long.There is not monsters like that any more !God bless Larry and the Funk he brought to all of us.!Great public in bataclan made Larry be emotional. He deserve all the respect and admiration ! He is the LORD OF THE FUNK !

[@dannyguillory8941]

Wow! I don't know if Sly would have ever had that funk without Larry Graham

[@wolfkarel]

the FATHER of funk bass

[@dordjaka]

[@jofreeman9517]

Now this is the kind of music I jammed to in the 1970's! Just jamming and dancing and having fun!! Larry ya'll gotta come out here to Los Angeles, California!!! I was feeling bad because of family personal problems, and I came across Graham Central Station Wednesday August 19, 2020 at 11:46am Long Beach, CA.

[@rsilva1031]

🇧🇷Isso que é música de qualidade, mto swing. 👏👏🇧🇷

[@YanusDV]

Dude holy shit, from the very beginning this is fuken awesome! LG is a LEGEND!

[@jofreeman9517]

All my living I have never heard a base player play so elequently and soulful and funk all in one. Larry Graham is truly one of a kind. I wonder does U.S. give him this much recognition as the wonderful people of Paris and Europe? If not. They should!!!!

[@Saxyworld]

This is lady is invited to the BBQ singing with Larry! No Joke! ❤ !

[@restanibalu]

That’s some FUNK

[@scarecrow32]

Truly great. Such a treat to see this show.

[@mobandy8660]

I still have cassettes of h is concerts in the 18,000 seat Keil Autorium in the mid 70s. This man rock the joint so.....he made plaster fall from the ceiling!!!!! Original Rolling Rock....lol

[@jofreeman9517]

That was really nice he got down there to be in the center of his fans, Larry Graham. Singers today don't even want you to smile at them or say hi (Kenye West) to their fans and he is just one of the singers in this 21st generation today. (not picking on him).

[@terryscott8084]

MY GUYS!!! I Know and Love each one of these guys in the band. Great Guys, and Girl, And Great Musicians! SLAM BROS!!! Of Course Larry Graham is Awesome!!!

[@wilcurrie2651]

l saw that man play that bass so hard that he took it off laid it on the ground and start popping ithe stringss with a scarf and not miss a beat!!!

[@reinerbolzer3460]

Wenn ich nur mal darüber nachdenke ob Graham nicht heißer ist als unser Gothfath of Soul James, dann habe ich aus einer gewissen Ehrfurcht heraus fast ein schlechtes Gewissen. Aber definitiv ist unser Larry grenzwertig spitze 👍👍👍

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

Detroit, 1978. We were there when the trucks got to Masonic Temple. The crew let us help unload the gear from the truck; in return we got to see the concert for free. Booker T & The MGs didn't show up to open. GCS played from 7:30 til midnight. Larry did "Earthquake" like Hendrix on bass. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@jofreeman9517]

Awww Larry Graham is sooo happy and flustered. ALL ABOARD!!! ALL ABOARD!! GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION!!! I LOVE IT BECAUSE MY NIECE'S AGES ARE OUT THERE, AGE 17 AND 19, AWWW. BEFORE ALL THIS DRUGS AND GANG BROKE UP A LOT OF HOMES! LET'S BRING IT BACK 50'S AND OVER!!! LET'S SHARE WITH THE 40'S AND UNDER WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS ABOUT BEFORE THIS GANGSTER RAP ENTERED IN 1990'S!! LET'S BRING THE DRESS CODE BACK AND GET RID OF THE SAGGING PANTS AND UNDERWEARS SHOWING!!!

[@AlexandraLajoux]

Heaven!

[@steverincklakevanendert8133]

What a great funky shit! great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tobor58]

Will NEVER forget seeing GCS in the 70's in DC - Carter Barron Amp. before the 1st album even dropped. After that year and year after year at Cap Center the legendary shows opening for Sly Stone - No Show night.. GCS & TOP or GCS Headliners -- spot on showmanship, power, funky and FUN. The original band give or take the changes at drummer for those magic albums 73~78 - kicked ass. KZbin if you could only shows some of the those times.. So glad we still have Mr. Graham. RIP Robert Butch Sam RIP Willie Wild Sparks RIP Gaylord Flash Birch RIP David 'Dynamite' Vega Give me Patrice Chocolate Banks over my biscuits any day. Play on Hershall "Happiness" Kennedy

[@williamgravely8191]

Who is this? yea I remember that show thats when you could afford to go to a concert and have a good time. You think I'd pay 1200 to see someone today. Not Bruce, Beyonce or nobody whoever does is a dam fool. Back in the day 20 bucks you would see 3 top performers. 1200 for one come on now

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

@@robonoskiRST Great comments and great list...but none of them are Funk bassists like on the previous post. Sorta apples and oranges but every single one of them are/was exceptional...🤘🏾

[@robonoskiRST]

@@OriginalOldSkoolFunk 10.4. So many great styles and talents. Simpley put i can dig it.

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Yes they’re great but Tommy Cogbill stands above them all on the bass.

[@moe9196]

Mark King singer & bassist with UK rock,pop,funk,jazz fusion group Level 42 (their prime 1980s-early 90's imho ) credits Larry Graham with inventing the hand slapping bass playing technique . The story is that Graham invented it when sly & family stone were just forming . They had no drummer so Larry invented it and employed it to give the early band a percussive sound when they were rehearsing, playing small club gigs and yet to record . Mark King said the same thing when Level 42 was just starting and had no drummer ... It was long ago, can't remember the records, but i do remember Larry Graham making some beautiful adult genre solo love songs in his natural, deep, clear bass - baritone voice . It was refreshing because so many singers were singing so high it got irritating from the late 60s thru the 1980s . Graham"s solo hit love songs remind me of American Songbook days: Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Hartman , and the rest

[@chriso8193]

But we knew that back in the 70's when music was still segregated. Funk didn't get as much love or awards as other music.

[@jofreeman9517]

Man did they get down here! You need to come to Long Beach, CA!!!
