How 'bout that cut by "Larry Craig - Singing in The Bathroom"? That's a song you can really tap your foot to!

And you know this man. I was close to voting for the
underdog larry rockstar marshall because i have been
listening to a lot of mass production lately and i
dig his vocal style but i think larry dodson had the
most unique vocal style. His hard gritty vocals complemented
the barkays funk jams very well especially live.
I do vote for larry dodson but i understand larry blackmon getting
the most votes here due to the height of cameo's popularity across
the board in the mid 80's.
