Graham To Appear Tonight
HOMECOMING. Just the
thought of the word conjures up
ideas of football games,
cheerleaders and partys. No
matter how you feel about social
activities the rest of the year,
there is nothing like
homecoming.
Soulful Spirit of ’76
In its role as a National
Bicentennial Campus and as a
participant in the Winston-Salem
- Forsyth County Bicentennial
Programs Winston-Salem State
University has adopted the
“Soulful Spirit of 76” as the
theme of its Homecoming 75.
In announcing the plans for this
year’s homecoming activities,
Mr. Joseph Daniels - Chairman of
the WSSU Homecoming
Committee, said that some of the
highlights of the festivities will be
the parade, game, and Hall of
Fame Banquet.
The parade theme focuses on
the contributions by blacks to the
nation’s growth in general and on
the contributions of WSSU to the
progress of the Winston-Salem
Community in particular.
From the assembly point on
Linden Avenue the parade route
is as follows: west on Third Street
to Liberty Street; north on
Liberty Street to Fourth Street;
and east on Fourth Street to

If you’re ready to really enjoy
yourself this homecoming, then
you’ll want to get in on the “get
down sound” of Larry Graham
and Graham Central Station, the
featured group at tonights Pre-
Homecoming Ram style.
Graham Central Station is one
of the hottest groups on the music
scene. Formed in 1974 by Larry
Graham, the group has
experienced unbelievable
success. Larry played bass with
the energetic Sly and the Family
Stone from 1966 to 1974, and his
unique bass style is one of the
highhghts of the present group.
He can play all the instruments in
the current group.
“Hot Chocolate"
Graham put his own band
together, using his own material.
■‘Hot Chocolate” was the band,
which later changed its’ name to
become the now famous Graham
Central Station.
The group is composed of six
members, including Larry. The
performers are Patryce Banks,
Hershall Kennedy, Manuel
Kellough, Robert Sam, David
Vega and of course, Larry
Graham. Together they have a
funky sound with emphasis on
Graham's precussive-sounding
bass.
Last year the group performed
along with Bette Davis for an
unbeatable Friday night of
Homecoming. They had just
released two albums- “Graham
Central Station” and “Release
Yourself.”
Their latest albuin release,
“Ain’t No ‘Bout-a-Doubt It,”
(Warner Bros.) shows that Ijarry
Graham and Graham Central
Station has a lot to offer. At the
Pre-homecoming show on
Friday, October 24 and during
Homecoming, Graham Central
Station will definitely "get its'
stuff off.” Be there for one of the
"get down” times of your life.
