Graham Central Station was a funk band named after founder Larry Graham (formerly of Sly and the Family Stone) and Grand Central Station in New York City.
Graham Central Station's biggest hit was Your Love, which charted at number 9 in 1975. The group also integrated gospel music sounds into their music, and played with the dichotomy between the funk/rock star image and the "sanctified" gospel group image. Some of their recordings feature the Tower of Power horn section.
