    Larry Graham was the Bass player for the 70’s band Sly and the Family Stone. After he left he had a solo career with his own band called “ Graham Central Station” which was a successful band, check out some of their hits.

    40 years later this song is still so good. Larry Graham's powerful and smooth voice is timeless. Plus, the composition of this banger is epic. The flute, drums, and piano were on point. Outstanding.

    I met my wife at age 14.5
    She was 16
    We’ve been married 50 years -
    This is our song

    Larry Graham is singing this great song so beautifully. I can't stand it. If you've ever been in love, this is the song that personifies that feeling.

    I sang this song to my wife as she walked down the aisle at our wedding. Love it!

  • @ronaldmillner6387
    @ronaldmillner6387 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    People forget his voice, because he's known as the Godfather of how the bass guitar is played today. He started the slap bass technique with Sly and the family stone

  • @harpergras
    @harpergras ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Larry was always in a groove back in the day...An awesome voice...He has some really nice songs.

  • @curtliddell3982

    Another under-appreciated artist. He was an original member of "Sly & The Family Stone". He was the bass player.

  • @kellyjohnson3617
    @kellyjohnson3617 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is one of the most beautiful songs. His voice is so rich and beautiful. I read an interview by him that this song is just as much about falling in love as well as his discovering the faith he started practicing around the time he wrote this song. That he truly fell in love with his God. I was in high school when this song came out, around 1980. It’s just as fresh now as it was then.

  • @maggieanne5340
    @maggieanne5340 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    "That's within my pocket" 😂😂😂 So cute. I have always loved this song. A true love song. This came out in 1980.

  • @MariaE41283

    My husband and I loved this song so much that we danced to it as the first song at our wedding.

  • @leanebony
    @leanebony ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Thank You. I grew up listening to this as a young boy around the house. Brings back memories. Like BJ said they dont make it like this anymore. Thanks Guys for appreciating the ole tunes.

  • @ioniajones2069
    @ioniajones2069 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    He lead the group Graham Central Station and efire that he played with Sly and the Family Stone. And yes, this song was played at many weddings, back in the day.

  • @keithroberts4952
    @keithroberts4952 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Larry Graham is the voice one hears in the Sly and the Family Stone 1968 classic, dance to the music, when he sings " I'm gonna add some bottom, so that the dancers just won't hide". He revolutionised bass playing by introducing the slapping technique on the Sly and the Family Stone classic, Thankufallentinmebmiceselfagin. He has another classic song called Just be my lady which you guys should check out.

  • @ronwilliams2647

    He reminds me of the late great Lou Rawls...beautiful baritone voice!

  • @carlbaker7242
    @carlbaker7242 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I say a BIG WHOA. I Have a large appeal for this man, his music and the person who he became. I got to meet him in 1978. It was intimidating!!! but he was truly " Every day people ". Thanks guys.

  • @LadybugLuv

    I love Asia's emotional reaction to Larry's song and voice. I was so crazy for this song when it came out and it was on the radio ALL the time! Such an amazing voice! Shout out to Uncle Charles. LOL

  • @blitztim6416
    @blitztim6416 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This puts me back on Bourbon Street in the eighties. A woman in a gift shop was singing this as she shopped. I knew the song. And that’s what it reminds me of whenever I heard it.

  • @jamesrobbison
    @jamesrobbison ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Larry Graham's voice is unique for sure, you always knew it was him when a song that he sang came on the radio. Check out "Love Covers a Multitude of Sins" it was a really popular song played on contemporary Gospel radio stations in the mid to late 70's.

  • @edalisauskas7313

  • @abevillanueva1974
    @abevillanueva1974 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, it was the most played song at weddings we went to. Larry is part of the most diverse and inspirational soul/funk band ever! As many stated below, Larry is among the GOAT bass players with his "slap" style.

  • @randymccloud5743

  • @terribanks8633

    There was a time when this song was out, whatever guy you were dating would try to serenade you with this song. 😃 😀

  • @TZ61
    @TZ61 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think you nailed it with the sincerity on display here. He could have done more singing with The Family Stone, and I would have been OK with that, but it's hard to argue with most of how they did what they did with Sly. This is a truly romantic gem.

  • @jimmoore8951
    @jimmoore8951 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Larry was my favorite bass player but only gave us a glimpse of his vocal range while we sang along to him with Sly and Graham Central Station... until this song came out and then the whole world found out about him

  • @true1evanique
    @true1evanique ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Supposedly, Larry Graham is Drakes uncle. He played in the band, "Sly and The Family Stone" in the early 70's.

  • @jamesjohnston9225
    @jamesjohnston9225 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was played a lot back in the day. Asia right - slow dance song. I always sing along with this cause, as BJ said, his range is in my pocket (lol, get down to your appendix). Such a smooth depth to his voice. Nice! Graham Central Station and Sly and the Family Stone work was good, too (as Bassblvd commented below). Nice reaction!

  • @marthaz
    @marthaz ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's an old schoolmajor hit, and a classic romantic love song by the uniquely smooth vocalist, incomparable bass player, Larry graham 🥰
    Check out the group he led before going solo - Graham Central Station - good introduction song is "The Jam." His baseball-playing will blow your mind as much as his beautiful voice did. 🔥😉

    Asia & BJ, You’d like "Feel The Need" and "Can You Handle It?" from Graham Central Station, a band he fronted.
    Today’s song is his one solo hit song on the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B charts. He had several more hits on the R&B chart

  • @CCTH2221-lp2zj
    @CCTH2221-lp2zj 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    With this Larry threw a bit of a “curveball” because so many people knew & remembered him from Graham Central Station and with Sly. But I think with this he went back to his Gospel roots a little bit. Great slow jam🎼

    Larry Graham was the bass player for Sly and the family Stone and Graham Central station so he was also famous for his funky bass playing style and he also influenced Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson with his style of bass guitar funk. You have a long way to go when it comes to Larry Graham
