A Larry Garhm Classic (one in a million)

I know y'all know that classic R&B song one in a million. by Larry Garahm, but check this out. Just recently I met a couple of ladies who where Jehova witness. They where staying over at my grandmother's hosue, because of the Jevoah witnne convention they have every year. You know with me being a Prince fan in all, I had 2 ask them a few questions lol we talked alot about the faith and some music. They even told me how George Benson was also a Jehova witness and you know Larry Grahm had to eventually come up lol... one of the ladies brought up the song one in a million by Larry Garhm. She told me this, was one of her favorite love song and was upset when she found out it was about the Jehova witness following their faith, my eyes where shocked when I heard her say this. She was like most people think it's a wordly song, but Larry Garhm is really talking about the Jevoha witness people following Jevoah... I thought to myself well isn't this interesting, we both just laugh the she on singing the song... lol

I don't like "One In A Million" either. Larry Graham's voice never appealed to me. And I don't believe that when he recorded it, that it had anything to do with the JWs. I think that interpretation might have come along later. That has happened with lots of music, the change in interpretation to coincide with some change in belief.

You should listen to the first three Graham Central Station records. His voice and baze playing are amazing. The groove is untouchable.
