Larry Graham Jr. (born August 14, 1946) first rose to prominence as an original member of Sly and the Family Stone from 1966 until his departure from the band in 1972. He would next serve as the frontman of his own group Graham Central Station from 1973 to 1979.

His solo career would follow afterwards with the release of his debut album, One in a Million You, in 1980. Presenting himself as a formidable ballad singer on top of his funk and soul background, Graham would go on to release five more solo albums, with his most recent being Chillin' and his most stylistically unique being Sooner Or Later.

Primarily known for being a bassist and baritone vocalist, Graham is also capable of playing guitar, percussion, harmonica and various keyboard instruments. He is credited as the pioneer of the bass guitar slap technique heavily associated with the funk genre and later picked up by Bernard Edwards, Bootsy Collins and Verdine White among many others. He is the cousin of former Sly and the Family Stone member Cynthia Robinson, the brother of Dennis Graham, and most notably, the uncle of Canadian rapper Drake.
