65 years ago today, Larry Graham, Jr. was born in Beaumont, Texas. From Sly & the Family Stone to Graham Central Station, and a whole lot of other projects, he’s credited with the invention of slap bass.

Or as Larry calls it, “Thumpin’ and Pluckin’.”

Larry is still bringing it… Here’s a clip of Graham Central Station performing “The Jam” just last month.
