Im going to go out on a limb here. What makes this song and others played by Graham Central Station so funky is that, they are church musicians. Yea i said it. These are church musicians. They might not be playing in church now, but they have. Other musicians reading this know im telling the truth. Go to the beginning of this song to 0:27. That ain't nothing but church. Go ahead, put those hands together. We can have church now. Listen to there solo's. That ain't nothing but the church.

Larry Graham is a Jehovah'a Witness - I spoke to him about his religious affiliations after this gig ...

this vid was posted 2 1/2 years ago and only 183,000 views, just for a comparison in popularity I just had a look at Lady Gaga-Bad romance and it has over 275,000,000 hits after 9 months,...wow.!!! I cant believe that,oh well, we are the lucky ones then watching this astronomical musician...Larry's groove sends shivers down my spine, Lady Gaga's legs sends me to the bathroom!

@TheGetterdone It's been my experience that music puts the soul in church, not the other way around.

Yes, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. And I play a great guitar before I never knew the truth. Larry and Prince, well, may be more difficult for Prince, yet....he's still there. He has grown since he was baptized. Ok. he does not perform sexual explicit music he used to do? Logical, he accepted one true fact in our world, Jehovah is God, his rules for salvation and everlasting life are final. Anyone wanting to live forever just has to see what it takes to do th

They weren't just church musicians. They were very innovative and pionneric of their timy. Larry Graham was a musician foremost, and a lover of rhythm of soul next. God Bless You, for your innovative soul, and daring to take the guitar to the next level. BRAVO!!

@mordy91 That's brilliant, thanks! I'm seeing Larry Graham and Graham Central Station next Sunday; they're warming up for Prince. I can't wait!

[mordy91]

@1972Muttley Yeah. I discovered this tune recently when I heard a cover of it by Robert Randalph, Joe Bonamassa and Pino Daniele on the Crossroads '10 festival dvd and noticed that too :) I really like it. You should definitely check that version out as well if you haven't already. Cheers! ;)
