"One in a Million You" - Larry Graham

WTF????? I never heard of t his shit. Is he a one hit wonder?

I can sing this song karaoke except for when he holds the notes at the end.

Is this a thing?It looks like soe 70's drek.

You guys must be very young or very white.

Larry Graham is a pop/R&B/session legend; he created the "slapping" bass technique, and lent both voice and bass to Sly and the Family Stone and his own group, Graham Central Station.

It was all over pop/R&B radio in the summer of 1980.

It is a good karaoke song. Singer's voice is nice and low (no crazy high notes).

Dionne had a nice go at this as well.

There's a lot of great ballads that came out in the early 80s.

Cool Night

He’s Drake’s uncle.

I would do him and Drake

I loved this song when I was a kid!

"A one in a million -- chance of a lifetime, And liiiiife showed compassion And sent to me a stroke of love called 'You' A one in a million you"

For younger gays, in addition to this song, Graham was famous as a member of Sly and the Family Stone, and as the founder of the group Graham Central Station. He's also the uncle of rapper Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham)!

Thank you r4. This is the song Larry Graham is most famous for as far as bass playing. You all probably don't even know this

That song "One in a Million" was sort of a fluke hit for Larry Graham because he was more known for harder edged funk with his band Graham Central Station.

r4 classic R&B and funk particularly, haven't survived the corporate, auto-tune onslaught. This generation views them as samples, if at all--and it's not just white people.

I watch a lot of reaction videos, and seeing 22yo black twins only know Stevie Wonder as a celebrity name shocked me (they talk on it at the video start.) I could see them only knowing his biggest hits, but I assumed they'd at least have heard them growing up from their family, even if they rejected the genre later on.

I really feel like we're losing culture to corporate technology & it's never coming back. In the past, I've chalked it up to a nihilistic attitude stemming from deteriorating health, but I'm starting to think I'm right.

R15: these are the same twins who are in the news because they "discovered" In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Truly makes you feel old.......

Reaction videos are a thing now. Everybody and their sad cousin. Dreck.

r17 I'd be the first to tell people to get the fuck off my culture lawn, but there are some good reactors out there--believe it or not. There's a sub-genre of musicians/artists who do really good reactions. They get roasted for it by other performers (like Tom MacDonald), but some are good.

I have to admit I enjoy the rap/comedy reactors like Shaq & Art of Kickz as a guilty pleasure.
