Always.. admired Larry for staying true and sober, a legend himself and a major influence on music with his playing style and vocals!

Love love love Mr. Larry Graham! Greatest bassist in the world!

Excellent interview especially in light of the recent passing of Prince. He now is in Jehovah's memory.

Fantastic interview, Mr Graham is a wonderful artist with a great singing voice.

Wow such a great interview! RIP to my uncle Wah Wah Watson!

Hear that voice Damn

A one in a million you…What a freaking great song..Larry is the man!

Wow now I see why Prince gravitated toward him and Sly Stone. I know Prince wanted to work with Sly as well. All three taught themselves many different instruments.

All Bass friends this is a great interview worth sharing!

Truly the First Bass Player that started the slap an thumb plucking licks Bad Man in the Good way.

You are a legend

Seems like everyone I've heard reminiscing, who was part of Sly's band, is good hearted and had each built they're own unmistakeable musical castles before and even after Sly. They all speak like "everyday people", in the best sense of the word, as well.

My favorite base player.

You are so sosososososo gifted

You are so bless

This was a really tough brother Larry Graham he was a Hell of a Bass Guitar player one of the best in the world he was one of my best Bass Guitar players I played Bass Guitar myself getting back into it and I personally didn't know about the other stuff in his life some of it I did but not all of it that was a really good interview of him thanks very much.

You are so brilliant

Good interview. I wished they'd asked him about his current day relationship with Sly and the other band members.

Great info here, thanks for posting this!

All MUSIC friends, this is worth sharing…:)….thanks for posting

You are the man

This is a master piece

You are so sosososososo talented

You are mesmerizing

You are the greatest

You are incredible

Such a humble guy. Also, absolutely the coolest cat I've ever watched playing on YT and being interviewed (unlike some jerks like David Lee Roth). He's at an altogether greater high.

Great interview.

I loved LG from first second I heard him sing and play for SLY. I patterned my voice after his voice. Obviously I have a "great voice for radio" or pillow talk. I played air bass guitar while listening to my collection of SLY + the FAMILY STONE albums, which included all the studio albums through GREATEST HITS and a live album from a music festival in Atlanta. I screened almost asleep the Woodstock film until the band appeared; then I departed the theatre after the band's historic set. LG was an integral contributor to the sonics associated with the best live band of all time. I saw thrice SLY +The FAMILY STONE at Madison Square Garden. You don't understand fully y anyone cares about the band unless you saw it live. LG was an important contributor. When he departed the sonics never soared as higher as when he and Freddie Stone funked up basic CHUCK BERRY for a wine so fine you had to drink it through your ear holes. Ask George Clinton. This interview is a musicological marvel. The facts unearthed are astounding. PRINCE bored me. But PRINCE knew cold GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION. I owned proudly that band's first two albums and made many good friends and lovers who were admirers of SLY + The FAMILY STONE, GCS and PRINCE. LG is an institutional force in pop music. Bless him!

Hey hey Larry on bass now adding bottom to your fun fun!

Bro Larry Graham became one of Jehovah's Witnesses, as Bro. Prince Nelson Bro. George Benson, and I am, as well... I became one through Sis Susan Williams & Larry's Aunt Victoria Green & Cousins Rickey & his Wife Gloria Green ... You've never met a more tenacious & humble family! - I met Larry in East Oakland Home, at the time that his album came out...a Tribute to his Father's Death! - More importantly, Larry is an upstanding individual...

i've been listening to a lot of george benson's early records and enjoying his playing and like him personally but of course sly and prince and larry are three of my favorite artists. if prince couldn't persuade sly to record, i suppose it isn't going to happen. i wish prince had been less interested in his music being shared on you tube or in people finding out he had a prescription drug problem and just gotten help. 3 great artists and people became 2 great artists and people. 8 years after, those are great brothers to have.

You are so gifted

Great work Larry and Larry's mum 🤣 The sound is still amazing 👍

You are a powerhouse

You go

Saw Larry a couple of years ago at the Hollywood Bowl he Still "BADD"!!!!

Larry respected the wishes of individuals and their private time.

Love mr Graham

You are so deep

Icon Prince was quoted as saying Larry Graham is the "Michael Jordan" of the Bass Guitar player.

'THE GOD FATHER OF BASS', one of the most influential bass players of all times. One of the few musicians to change the way we think of playing bass. I place Larry Graham up there with the best of the best, like Stanley Clarke, James Jamerson, Jaco Pastorious and John Entwistle. He has earned the title of " The Godfather of the Bass"!

The right of individual free will is a gift from God.

Anyone have a link to a video of Larry with the group live doing Thank You!? can only seem to find the bass players after Larry on Thank You.

Why didn't he reach OUT and try to save his baby brother " Prince" when the plane incident happened.....

Sorry, but the mixed thing started here in Memphis (Pryor to sly)with Booker T , Otis Redding , Sam and Dave ,with Steve and Duck 👍🏻

It started way before Booker T and the Mgs. Benny Goodman had a mixed-race band as far back as the 1930's.

Booker T and the MG's wouldn't put their pictures on the cover of their albums until 1968 and they had been releasing albums for six years. Sly put his band mates on the covers from the jump. I'm from Memphis and I love the MG's but they were afraid to be nationally known as an integrated band.

I'd like to know how you really feel about Sly Stone

I'm going to add some bottom. He shook the house up.

I came on for Sly Stone not Larry Graham
