Larry Graham has more funk power in his right thumb than most bands can generate between them.

His Graham Central Station albums featured jaw-dropping examples of the thump'*'pluck bass style he invented, a gulping, propulsive sound that somehow hung coolly on “the one” while driving the beat forward. It's demonstrated here on new material and re-recorded GCS classics like “It Ain't No Fun to Me” and “Throw-N-Down The Funk”, on which every element is sculpted for maximum funk impact.
