Bobby Martin (Bobby Martin Productions)
Bobby Martin Produced The Album "Star Walk" With Larry Graham
Bobby Martin, Larry Graham and Prince are active Jehovah's Witnesses. But what most people don't realize, is that Bobby Martin and Larry Graham worked together, and they've produced music together. Bobby Martin was good friends with Larry Graham back in the days when Larry Graham was with Sly & The Family Stone. In the late 1970's Bobby Martin and Larry Graham even had the same manager. This shouldn't surprise any of us Funk lovers, or R&B lovers. The Grammy Award Winning Granddaddy of R&B Bobby Martin has produced some of the funkiest material ever. Bobby Martin is known for his funky Philly Soul and R&B classics, yet he produces and arranges many different styles of music. The MFSB was pretty funky, and almost reminded you of the James Brown band, even though Bobby Martin was more R&B. And then Don Cornelius raved over Bobby Martins arrangement of TSOP (The Soul Train Theme Song), but Don Cornelius liked L.T.D. even better. Which lead to Bobby Martin and Don Cornelius working in the studio together on some of Don Cornelius's own projects at A&M records. And Bobby Martin eventually won a Grammy Award for TSOP. As far as this project is concerned, Larry Graham and Bobby Martin did an excellent job on the album "Star Walk" in 1979. The Warner Bros. logo is on the actual album, as well as the Bobby Martin Productions logo. And only one year after this album was released, Bobby Martin presented a song to Larry Graham for him to sing. The name of the song was "One In A Million You". It wound up being Larry Grahams biggest hit song! And that was when the "Graham Daddy" and Granddaddy of R&B hit a grand slam run together! Prince, or The Artist Formerly Known As Prince caught that ball in the stadium. Now we need all three of them to bring back the funk.
