It’s amazing that he can play and sing that at the same time.

Graham Central Station and Larry Graham will always be one of my favorites when I want to jam! “ The Jam”, “ I Can’t Stand the Rain “ , “On Top of Old Smoky,” etc. are just a few of my favorites.

The BEST concert I have ever seen was Larry Graham and GCS. They opened for Earth Wind and Fire but when they left the stage, the crowd left with him. There was nothing left to see or experience. They turned the place out! I’ll bet that EW&F never made that mistake again. Larry and Company are outstanding and complete showmen and ladies.

That's the GOAT right there. Others might have followed, but he's still on top with that natural groove.

I am thankful to say that I saw him live with Sly , with Grand Central Station, with Prince and met him in person back stage at a show in Cleveland. He is a great musician, wonderful person and a humble spiritual brother.

He has an antique pedal called the Jet-Phaser that makes that effect which is basically a flange/phase effect. He talks about it in the Japanese Super Slappin Bass video.

Thumping and Plucking, somebody else came up with that Bull S"" t slap bass , I myself played the Bass Guitar in the 70's Thumping and Plucking bro.

I love this man with every fiber of my being

so i was sitting down with my bass, ready to try and play along during the intro. i was gettin all excited and ready to go. Soon as he started playin.. i just started laughing. noway im keeping up with that. Hes so damn good

larry graham is the godfather of bass, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't play.

THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BREAK THAT BASS,,, ALMOST STARTED CRYING

Larry is the funkest bass player on this planet.

mind bogling that he could sing ,pop and pluck simnultaneously!!

Larry Graham is a beast on bass! ☆☆☆☆☆ 😎

The man is a bass guitar genius. Enuff said. He's untouchable.

Made me cry with musical pleasure!!! thankyou!!!!

Saw him bring it in 1975 and 1995. LG is unmatched!!!

I'm a long time fan, since 1970, and if theres ever any doubt about this man or his band, GCS, just try to find a recording or video of 1975 show "the Midnight Special". All doubts will be forever erased. Its now 2008 and and still have it fresh in my mind. Its the reason Stanley and Marcus and many others are fans of his.

He influenced everyone who slapped, since the man basically invented the technique.

That is GENIUS!! Thanks for the upload

After all these years people still gig this song! My fav. L.G. song!

Oh man, this song just makes me wanna grab my bass and play all night.

OMG....He is sooooo F.A.S.T. LOVE this song...... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, nas-tay......

At 1:53 Larry Graham's funk tears a hole in the space time continuum.

love those bass licks great!!!!

absolute legend this man

Colossally Amazing!!

gracias, maestro, genios

What a beautiful talent.

That funk is so stanky it will never come off!

this is epic stuff......a REAL BAND !!!!!

I used to learn practice licks by marcus miller and stanley but i didn't get really funky unitl I discovered Graham. After playing Graham licks those Stanley and Marcus licks started to sound better! His licks may sound simple compared to other slappers...but try playing "release yourself" and singing it at the same time!

Definitely the Godfather of funk bass...awesome!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Himmlisch funky Bass....phantastisch🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

WOW !!

i like the video

A stellar talent among soul musicians whose prowess never fully crystallized in large measure owing the scandalous glare bedeviling his affiliation with Jehovah's Witnesses and there stringent proscriptions on some forms of music.

totally insane funk!!!!! one of the dirtyiest I have heard. This is what I call doodoo funk my friends. the best of Graham

1:53, Unscheduled fashion show. They were dancing to though!!!

No one Bitch Slaps a Bass Like Larry Graham! The God of Slap... & potentially Funk in my eyes...and definitely my ears!

i always wondered what happened to him after sly and the family. man he can really bang those strings!!!!

The iconic "Fuzz Phaser"...

larry graham is as great as jaco pastorious but in diferent styles this is pure genious

you are 100% right. people just don't give enough respect to people who invented stuff..larry grham is more than a genius,and people don't give him enough credit on my perspective. always when someone speaks about a really good bass player,it's always victor wooten/Flea(red hot chili peppers)..and it really pisses me off sometimes.

Far out...I never imagined he would bust out that Townsend/Hendrix stuff at the end! Classic!
