Larry Grahm/Gregg Lerrico -- Sly and the Family Stone
Perhaps more than any other band Sly and the Family Stone fused the two worlds of rock and soul. Coming out of Oakland, California, this band changed rock, pop and soul music everywhere in every way. Larry Grahm and Gregg Lerrico were a big part of the band’s success. Their syncopated playing style and Graham’s early use of the slap funk bass style took the band to new sonic levels.
