[Fontego]

Who the fuck are those 63 jerks?!??

[mickhutchinson]

Larry Graham is a genius .This is BRILLIANT



[celsoldmjr]

Look at total time of video (4:20) it's answers many questions!

[BassKicksAgain]

Larry caught me with my funk down!

[bob20202020]

Around 1:10 when the keyboardist does the classical breakdown I can just sense the confusion in the crowd. "Should we.... keep dancing?"

[jimmiow]

This is awesome

[IIITheFreshPrinceIII]

would like to see this live...but a fucking funky song anyway :D

[conradcoolio]

@IIITheFreshPrinceIII he still performs dude! i saw him at a dave koz concert. so beast! lol

[nanoload]

Dear black people,

Love,

Music

[zolenors]

powwwwwwwwwwwww !! they just broke my stereo system....

[leonoff89]

this sounds so ahead of its time the bass i mean

[Tremblay343]

terrible lip syncing, funky ass bass slapping.

[bassdude70]

I always thought that Larry looked like the guy who played Isaac Washington on "The Love Boat". :-)

[BobNThat]

The original Les Claypool

[fuckamerica109]

FUCK YOU CHUCK NORRIS

[robthechannel]

Thumbs up if you saw the guy in the white shirt coming in from the left of the screen dancing like a retard at 3:26.

LOL

[ChildOfFury]

Also find it funny how everyone disregards the synthesizer solo. It was a sick solo :o

[ChildOfFury]

When i first saw this vid, it only had like 230k views. Totally righteous that it has passed 1million views. Long Live the funk master.

[JHmusic4ever]

0:38 NINJA KICK downside of the screen lol!

[gingnang1015]

素晴らしいー

[A2TRaNQuiLiiTy]

Drakes' Uncle... =)

[matto902]

that guys just like "well nobody in this band lets me solo, fuck guitar for awhile I'm just gonna dance"

[hakkikt]

so much groove! I LOVE IT.

[shadowplay1976]

I was born in 1976.....I was born too late !

[Mogratton27]

@shadowplay1976 I was born in 1993 ...I was born FUCKING too late

[shadowplay1976]

@Mogratton27 We need a DeLorean :-)

[grodytoadstools]

i love the absurd breakdowns in the first two minutes.

[Moloch95]

when black people were cool. 

[emomikey2000]

is it weird if i start feeling a little black when i hear this even though im white?

[chunkyluver55]

I like the part where Larry Graham 

[Iskander67]

3:37 the funkiest guy ever ^^

[cocothunda79]

is it just me or does he look like Damon Wayans with a fake fro? maybe it's just me....

[iF3nd3r]

Yesterday i was in a music store and someone said i should listen to

Graham central station - pow :)

[BruceyBassLines]

I can play this on bass..... now i can die happy xD

[craggot6968]

[11multiplayer]

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!



[lukeywilkshire]

absolute insanity at it finest

[passeriformes33]

i'm currently pantsless

[adamjur83]

60 people got caught with their funk down..

[brianownsall123]

THIS GUY IS SUCH A BEAST PERFORMER!!!! not to mention the father of modern bass guitar..and other such small, slightly noteworthy things...

[leadbass4thewin]

I know it's only simple slap bass. But that is just so damn good. This guy is just so cool!! Victor wooten made slap bass a whole lot more complicated and great in it's own right. But he just won't beat this guys legendary coolness. What a legend!! XD

[etpiersel]

Where did all my clothes go?

[gHGplayer]

DAT BASS

[MrSuperboiii]

Larry Graham = Drake's uncle

[Jassurin85]

Where's Vincent Vega?? ...

[moldedfaces]

Pissing lasers this is sho' nuff one of the funkiest basslines of all time but he's with Jehovah nw

[bm118118]

I'm pretty sure O.J. was humming this to himself when all that shit went down.

[MrLittletomdj]

From 2:57 onwards .... sweet jesus! pure funk!

[BassNewbieNorway]

I`m speech less, this is so uber funky, sitting here smiling and laughing :)

[MrLamps1986]

I love the amount of talent in this video!

[kengogo4649]

早くてひけねぇ

[thelizardking887]

Ah, just like a smooth Colt 45, Graham Central Station works everytime.

[DaddyOD13]

Growing up in the East Bay Area in the 60s & 70s.

Funk had a big influence on me.

And I always watched Soul Train.

So thanks for this blast from the past, Mr. Funkonaut.

[Leotheleprachaun]

oh shit! i got caught with my funk down!

[delmarvamulaa]

FUNKIEST SONG OF ALL TIME!

[Njgger8001]

this is some funky shit

[luvthatjaz]

This is a sample of true entertainment!

[shredder1500]

is this on any albums?

[pharoahoffunk]

@shredder1500 It's on the Graham Central Station album My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me.

[BabyJthe1]

I remember a guy posting a comment while back saying,

"This is how sex sounds like when you're doing it right"

HAHA

[kyubi965]

@BabyJthe1 What did you expect? ;D

[Maxbtwshow]

@BabyJthe1 OMFG. A comment inside a comment. COMMENT-CEPTION!!!

[cr275standrews]

[TheWhiteyLightnin]

[breizhpunisher26]

[fortheloveoftunes]

Slappin da bass as bad as slappin da ... oh yeah! .-)

[TheFunkyfeelings]

FUNK IT ALL the waaaay!

[niknotez]

[niknotez]

How you slap the bass that hard and dance at the same time!! Thats soul!

[rushpython100]

[DreadScottamus]

[MrBlkheart]

[LilithFilth]

[andersnoer]

2:38 Guy in white jeans dancing in the crowd.

[bigdaddyshit]

Shit this is song is really good and actually a little funny.

[shatchett0]

Too funky for Soul Train!

[NickSm1]

That's the grooviest gig I've ever seen.

[drummerformel]

pow



[iwaslikepfffft]

after watching this...i really need a shower

[clocklife]

Larry can lip-sync with the best of 'em!

[jesusfreak9k]

@clocklife Audio-visual lag, it's not lipsync haha

[IsaacBearMusic]

Slap Master Graham...and his Karate Apprentices. This video is a Golden Funk Nugget. Did you know that when you fly a space ship off of the lunar dealership it loses like 2000 space dollars in value?! That bass line is timeless though...as far as interstellar time travel is concerned. Definetly worth more that 2000 space bucks! Bam

[CptChaos88]

ähm... playback...

[GiannisVP]

GOD I'LL CRY!! I LOVE THIS FUNKY SHIT!!!

[Buckeyecat2002]

A hell of a lot hits for an album filler throw away cut. Larry Graham is ranked #3 on Digital Dreamdoor's list of "100 Greatest Rock Bass Guitarists of All Time."

[DanAndHoe]

I've seen them Friday! :) They were awesome!!!

[maxmann1010]

haha the white keyboard players solo



[cindytee1]

Led, you say you're pregnant? Must be a slammer jammer song! Larry G. KNOW he a bad brutha!

[arod2211]

This is too much funk for one person to handle!

[2222222222222222XXXX]

I have this drum n bass solo in my head everywhere.

It's always really cool when I have these funky earworm during a class test.

Wait! Is this the reasons for my good tests in school these days?! ;D

I guess...

[dwheresmymana]

On what album is this song originally?

[cindytee1]

This be all funked up!

[alex1414oploto]

Oh so good tyeahhhh

[Galv1nBass]

He drunk a bit too much of the Funky Shake!

[Galv1nBass]

This makes me want to be born in the 60's, so i could be a teenager in this period :D

[weezyFshady]

one word. versatility.

[Nynns]

Just came home from a concert with these guys. Fuck, Larry Graham is the Black Jesus!

[JHmusic4ever]

Now that's some real Drum&Bass :)

[loulouloudaurat]

it made me smile for 8 hours... WOW..

[GabriHell23]

FUCK! that man can sing dance and play that fucking bass like a god all at the same time!!!! and he can also do yodel! larry graham is a winner :)

[bustindustin01]

58 people got caught with their guard down.. POW!

[TheDavid2222]

it kinda pisses me off that they made classical music sound like shit. They are great though!

[Dennemark]

The best part is when Larry is playing the funk with just the drummer, who's building it up. The last part of it, just makes me swing da toes independantly.

[PGROSYE02]

Hey guys here's a shocker, Larry Graham is related to...drake. Sorta dissapointing.

[heckto35]

@PGROSYE02 I agree!

[crazygooner14]

who needs religion when you have this

[roccom80]

@spandexislove really?!?! talk about nepotism gone wrong...



[adebicki]

major thud!

[YouriCarma]

Bass Solo – watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I#t=2m56s

[GSJacket11]

Funky and choreographed. Deadly combo.

[princess1238919]

thats my uncle im !@#$% marie graham i dont wana put my name on here his uncle is my grandfather

[ltpaddy5]

Super awesome jam. But they are playing to a recording and lip syncing.

[michaelmendez805]

drakes uncle O=

[spandexislovexx]

How in the world could Larry Graham be Drake's (Aubrey Graham) uncle? Impossible. That kid has no talent. This is the real deal

[mujari]

@spandexislovexx  tell me youre kidding

[heckto35]

@mujari Why would he be? Drake sucks, Larry doesn't. End of story!

[Gladius53]

Einfach nur genial

[StrictlyBG]

the space synth sound ....

[Adam2kk]

58 people where caught with there funk down

[Ddog2k3]

Ahhh, nice, nice to see Graham Central Station on Soul Train for 1978. Sweet.

[heidehutte]

This is my absolute favourite vid on Youtube. If I'm ever in a bad mood I'll put this on. Impossible to be unhappy after four minutes of this!

[SuperSukme]

3:12 camera almost couldn't handle funk of that magnitude

[belem99]

não me canso de ver esse video

[mitch77ell]

Massive props to the keyboard player. Hang in there brother!

[JazzBass420]

F-U-N-K!!!!!

[imajeepster]

I wish i was a better dancer!

[thethundersnatch]

Slappin Da Bass Man, Slappin Da Bass

[lukeisareilly]

I was once caught with my funk down.....

I'm no longer allowed in Starbucks

[MegaSoulSearcher]

DO THIS - Save this video, when you get up in the morning, play it and crank the volume up - get ready for work or whatever - you will have a good day then!

[hoxvoxbox]

Life is beautiful

[hoxvoxbox]

At 3:00 Larry sculpts with provocative ease the Paradigm of Funky. I am moved.

[swagme0ut]

this is fucking crazy haha

[pvcaseyg]

57 people expected to hear a little classical opera

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

I'm now pregnant. I am a dude.

[lcturnedintoamartian]

The guy in the black shirt by the stage from 2:13- 2:25 is the king

[ThorThunderGod14]

@lcturnedintoamartian Just too much Funk, no more Funk for that man - lest he slips into a Funky coma.

[Munnchbunnch]

Bass to your face, extremely.

[Ibanezzer897]

when he does that bass solo break, my speakers just shudder with excitement asking "I like that, whos doing it, i wish to marry them"

[KazakageoftheSand]

what is this

[gumazon]

To Chocado!

[originalmo07]

Pow!

[assdestructionguy]

if somebody should be 40 lightyears away and watch us... this is what they'd see!

[vidform]

This song hits you soooooooo hard. I mean, POW!!! The title of this song fits perfectly. You couldn't call this song anything else but Pow. I even like the sound of the "laser guns" you can hear right after that say "pow." This song is about 4 minutes long. If a 300lb fat man heard this song, I guarantee he would lose half his weight dancing to this in 4 minutes. I like how the musicians dance as they're playing. You don't see that anymore.

[shabower]

0:36 i wish i walked like that all of the time!

[deege10]

57 people got caught with their funk down

[challister]

Funk me, sheer amazingness.

[NoPussyBlues86]

hahaha i love the synth's star wars sound..haaaaaaaaaa i got yaaaaaaaaaaaa

[hecbiz75]

After thinking about all the bassists and other musicians we've lost, I realized how lucky we are that Larry's still around thumping that bass like a badass mofo. LONG LIVE LARRY GRAHAM!

[NickyDark17]

Dude, this is legit. :D

[zcguitar]

@codehendrix one, thats the gayest name ever. two, so you hate the bassline and larry's afro and maustache? What an asshole loser.

[TedHeem]

1:28 is the funkiest little pop noise ive ever heard, the opposites of yodeling and then some Larry Graham super funk. Larry Graham is who black dynamite wants to be. FACT
