Description

"I'm gonna add some bottom... so that the dancers just can't hide!" bellows Larry Graham over his bass intro to Sly & The Family Stone's "Dance To The Music," one of the all-time greatest dance tracks. Sly was the bomb and all, but for Graham, that legendary lineup was only the beginning.

Larry Graham is a living musical legend three times over: as the bassist-singer with Sly & The Family Stone, where his innovative thumping-plucking style of bass playing became tremendously influential; as leader of the hit-making R&B group Graham Central Station through the '70s; and then as a top-selling solo artist in the '80s. While Graham's career spans three decades, his most recent efforts are as innovative and inspired as his earlier work.

The first collection of its kind, Rhino's two-disc The Jam: The Larry Graham & Graham Central Station Anthology is brimming with 32 smash R&B hits from Graham's 13 albums released for Warner, P-Vine/BMG, and Star Maker between 1974 and 1992. Extensive liners include one of the most detailed interviews ever with Larry Graham. It's the ultimate funk destination!
