as strong at the funkiest of jams as they were at the most lush of soulful ballads. Miles Davis who even collaborated with them and appeared in their videos called them one of his favorite groups. Also, Larry, even when he took the lead in stage performance, always used real drummers. A drummer himself, he came a long way from playing behind Black Ivory. As for Wayne Cooper, there are different stories about his departure, which reminds me I need to make time to watch Larry and Tomi Jenkins youtube video explaining the group's history...Today if I can...Got a mess of chores first...
