Artist: Larry Levan
Neglected by many because of his early death and lack of recording, Larry Levan is one of the seminal names in dance music, a legendary inspiration during the 1970s and '80s. Influenced by David Mancuso's seminal Loft parties, which presaged disco by more than five years, Levan took his cue and transferred those communal vibes to clubland with... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Carlton
Like so many other Los Angeles studio musicians, guitarist and composer Larry Carlton was faced with a choice a number of years back: whether to go solo and develop a name for himself under his own name or to continue the less risky, more lucrative existence as a session guitarist, making good money and recording with prominent musicians....

This blues guitarist played with The Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker bands. ~ Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Williams
A rough, rowdy rock & roll singer, Larry Williams had several hits in the late '50s, several of which -- "Bony Maroney," "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy," "Short Fat Fannie," "Bad Boy," "She Said Yeah" -- became genuine rock & roll classics and were recorded by British Invasion groups; John Lennon, in particular, was a fan of Williams, recording several of...

Artist: Larry Norman
One of the founding fathers of 'Jesus Music' in the late '60s, Norman left L.A. band People! to record Upon This Rock in late 1969, which, along with Mylon LeFevre's solo debut, marked the beginnings of the genre. His Only Visiting This Planet was, and still is for many, a high-water mark for Christian rock. Recent years have found him recording... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Davis
Anyone who associates "Texas Flood" only with Stevie Ray Vaughan has never auditioned Larry Davis' version. Davis debuted on vinyl in 1958 with the song, his superlative Duke Records original remaining definitive to this day despite Vaughan's impassioned revival many years down the road.
Davis grew up in Little Rock, AR, giving up the drums to... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Pierce
With song titles like "This Girl Makes Me Horny," it is pretty easy to see which direction Larry Pierce is coming from. Much like the Mentors, his sexist, crude humor is absolutely blatant, there is no subtlety or clever jokes involved. Pierce started releasing music in the early '90s, spitting out album after album of sexually explicit country... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Boone
Larry Boone was born in Cooper City, FL, on June 7, 1956. He set off for Nashville in 1981, after financing a stint at Florida Atlantic University with singing gigs in local Florida honky tonks. At first, Music City was unkind to the young singer/songwriter. Boone busked on the city streets, substitute taught, and even worked as a sportswriter... [+] Read More

Artist: Larry Gatlin
Larry Gatlin is best-known for his '80s hits with the Gatlin Brothers, but prior to forming and leading that family trio, he enjoyed a successful solo career with occasional support from his brothers. Gatlin was born in Seminole, TX, in 1948, and raised on country gospel music. He and his brothers, Steve and Rudy, often sang together in church,... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Coryell
As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock -- perhaps the pioneer in the ears of some -- Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s, a hard-edged, cutting tone, phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock and even country...

Artist: Larry Graham
Graham Central Station was a showcase for the revolutionary pop-and-slap bass guitar of Larry Graham, an alumnus of Sly and the Family Stone largely responsible for originating the percussive groove which typified the progressive funk sound of the 1970s. Born August 14, 1946 in Beaumont, Texas, Graham was raised in Oakland, California; by his... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Collins
With his sister Lorrie, guitarist and singer Larry Collins was part of the brother-sister duo the Collins Kids, who cut some of the best rockabilly of the 1950s.

Artist: Larry Douglas
With a tone that the dean of American jazz critics, Leonard Feather, described as “velvety and silky," Larry Douglas has ruled as one of San Francisco's top trumpet/flugelhorn players for more than three decades. In addition to leading his own electro-acoustic group, the Larry Douglas Alltet, Douglas has worked with such stellar musicians as... [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Shields
Drummer Larry Shields of the Ravelers should not be confused with the New Orleans jazz clarinetist of the same name. The Ravelers, an indie rock band from Wilmington, NC, featured Shields on a 1997 CD grown by the Orchard label. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Larry Hensley
Too often overlooked even by so-called experts in Appalachian music, the multi-instrumentalist and singer Larry Hensley was one of several fine performers to come out of the town of Corbin, KY. At one point, old-time string bands literally ran the town; Walker's Corbin Ramblers, a terrific string band that Hensley joined in 1934, was headed up... [+] Read More
