Central Station

An exuberant mid-'70s funk group, Graham Central Station made some fine singles for Warner Bros. Former Sly & the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham renamed Hot Chocolate (not the British group) Graham Central Station after he moved from producing the group to playing with it. The group included Graham, guitarist David Vega, keyboardists Robert Sam and Hershall Kennedy, percussionist Patrice Banks, and drummer Willie Sparks. They utilized the identical funk cum rock and soul formula of Sly, though in not quite as imaginative a fashion. Their debut single, Can You Handle It, reached number nine on the R&B charts, and they landed a number one record in 1975 with Your Love. They recorded as Graham Central Station from 1974 to 1977, then as Larry Graham & Graham Central Station in 1978, and during their final year were called Larry Graham with Graham Central Station.

Graham Central Station is the 1974 debut album by Bay Area funk band Graham Central Station, lead by former Sly & The Family Stone bass guitarist Larry Graham.

Release Yourself is the 1974 album by Bay Area funk band Graham Central Station. It was first released on compact disc in Japan in 1990 but was not released in North America until 1997. This is that American pressing, released on Black Music Ol' Skool, a short-lived Warner Bros. subsidiary.

Release Yourself is the second album by Graham Central Station released in 1974 on Warner Brothers. This is the first digital release of the album, taken from a Japanese CD pressing made in 1990.

Live In Japan '92 is a self-explanatory 2CD live album by Graham Central Station. This is an independent release released by the Star Maker label of a show at Koseinenkin Hall on 6 July, 1992 in the city of Tokyo. They perform some of their best songs from their early albums before they turned into Larry Graham and Graham Central Station, and end the first half of this set by Graham doing his biggest solo song, "One In A Million You". They get back into the funk and end the show with Graham reaching back into his Sly & The Family Stone roots.

"In The Evening" is the 1997 single by Jamaican-American actress Sheryl Lee Ralph. She got into Hi-NRG music and failed in the process but the songs are bangers. This was released by Central Station in Australia.
