Recording information: 1979. Arranger: Larry Graham. By the late '70s, Sly Stone wasn't nearly as popular or as visible as he had been in the late '60s and early '70s. But his former bassist Larry Graham was still going strong. Released in 1979, Star Walk was the last album that Graham would record with Graham Central Station for quite some time; in 1980, the influential singer/electric bassist officially became a full-time solo artist and soared to the top of the R&B charts with his debut solo single, "One in a Million You." And not until 1998's GCS 2000 would Graham use the GCS name on another album. If the name GCS had to be put to rest for a long time, at least the band went out with a bang on Star Walk. This excellent LP, which Graham produced himself, is full of sweaty, aggressive funk treasures; anyone who appreciates gutbucket funk would have a hard time not loving "Scream," "The Entertainer," and the single "(You're A) Foxy Lady." But not everything on this record is hardcore funk. "Tonight" is a lush Northern soul ballad, and the unexpected title song finds Graham getting into a synthesizer-driven Eurodisco groove -- if you didn't know better, you would think that Graham traveled to Munich, Germany, and hired Giorgio Moroder to produce the tune. ~ Alex Henderson Producer: Larry Graham Engineer: Christopher Becker; Larry Graham   Compilation Appearances Funk Box Baadasssss Cinema Black Magic:music From The Dan Klores   Associated Artists and Works My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me ~ Graham, Larry My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me ~ Graham, Larry Star Walk ~ Graham, Larry Greatest Hits ~ Graham, Larry   Technical Info Release Date : 02/26/2008 Original Release Date : 1979 Catalog ID : 3322 Label : Wounded Bird Records Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00664140332225    Product Image
