 Sly Stone/Graham Central Station
Graham had left by now to form his own band, and the bass lines are by Sly himself or new recruit Rusty Allen; the rest of the band was basically unchanged.
Graham's band had almost disappeared by now, with Larry playing nearly all the tracks, and bringing in outsiders Ron Kersey and Maurice Spears to add strings and horns respectively.
Larry played and wrote almost everything himself (no horns or strings), and a couple of tracks are winners: "Stand Up And Shout About Love" has a moving verse, bouncy chorus and funky fade; "I'm So Glad It's Summer Again" is lightweight but fun.

 The Artist with Larry Graham
Larry Graham appeared in sailor's whites and rolled out a few tunes from his days with Sly and the Family Stone, including a punchy rendition of "Thank You…" and a backbeat-heavy take on "Everyday People."
Though most of the instruments sounded surprisingly clean in the warehouse space, Graham's bass was muddy and lost in the mix.
Graham exited and the stage was filled with a green sea of lasers and smoke for a laid-back rendition of "Purple Rain" that climaxed with a reworked solo of stretched-out notes, hammer-ons and trills.

 One in a Million You - Larry Graham - Song Listings
As the leader of Graham Central Station, Larry Graham was responsible for some of the nastiest, grittiest, most gutbucket funk of the 1970s.
This isn't to say that One in a Million You is devoid of up-tempo material; one of the best things on the album is the very danceable and infectious "I Just Can't Stop Dancing." Nonetheless, the LP is best-known for its ballads.
Less impressive is "I'm So Glad It's Summer Again," which is nothing more than a poor man's "Hot Fun in the Summertime." But this album's strengths by far outweigh its weaknesses, and One in a Million You is enthusiastically recommended to R&B lovers.
