carlos00	Larry Graham's CHILLIN' Album Can anyone give more information on the story behind Larry Graham's CHILLIN 'album? This album has been saved for 30 years until this year when it was finally released on streaming platforms. What is the reason why it has been archived for all this time? Anyone know something about this story? Thank you

AFAIK he was going for the Barry White, Luther, Teddy audience with this and missing out on the funk

maybe somone got scared this would miss completetly sitting between two charis

I haven't heard it yet, but this is on my scheduled list for streaming

Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in?

carlos00	Thanks for the answer. But why releasing it now? I don't find a sense for it. Because the album is very good! I'm very surprised they didn't trust the quality of this job in the late 80s. I find it a very tight album for him that develops very well his composing and vocal skills. And also the album has a few hit songs.

Tell me more, Carlos- this is my first time hearing about it. Funky? Hardcore bass lines? More in the vein of of R&B or R&B-ballad?
