That's Billy Preston on piano.
He produced this album for the Stairsteps. A true JAM!

Great song thanks for posting

@XSGAME4U Not so. Funkadelic emerged C.1970, this was released in 1976. One of the best albums of a very great musical year, IMO.

@blueman2bass Louis had LG down cold. Louis picked it up on his own. The difference between Keni's style of play from Louis's was...Like Larry, Keni rode his thumb on that bottom E and kept a rhythmic basis for the total sound. Larry foundation is a "1-3-5 blues style of play" Keni is hte same. If you listen to keni's bassline in Mary J Blige's "Be Happy" Keni's octave attack is what brings him closer to Larry's flavor of play and at the time they both used Rotosounds
Hey what's happening heyroz27,that's keni burke on bass.Larry told me that keni used to come to his rehearsal with sly and the family,that's why he's so funky.Love you KENI BURKE and the stairsteps. OLDSCHOOLBASS.
