Graham Central Station
Graham Central Station was a
funk band named after founder
Larry Graham and
Grand Central Station in
New York City.
Graham Central Station's biggest hit was Your Love, which charted at number 9 in 1975. The group also integrated gospel music sounds into their music, and played with the dichotomy between the funk/rock star image and the "sanctified" gospel group image. Some of their recordings feature the Tower of Power horn section.
