Information About

Graham Central Station




The band's origins date from when Santana Guitarist Neal Schon formed the band Azteca along with Larry Graham ( Bass Guitar ) and Gregg Errico ( Drums ), both from Sly And The Family Stone , and Peter Sears ( Keyboards ), from Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship . Santana Bass Guitar player Tom Rutley would move into to the bass spot with Azteca. That band, like Santana with heavy Latin influences, would eventually morph into Graham Central Station, while Schon would found Journey .

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.
