This was an entertaining Philadelphia funk band, fronted by drummer "Fat" Larry James. Fat Larry's Band never scored any major hits, but their singles for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Stax%22">Stax</a>, Fantasy, and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Omni%22">Omni</a> were prototypical late-'70s and '80s East Coast jazz-tinged funk. Trumpeter and flutist Art Capehart, trombonist and alto saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:5roVgE5p4G1TcGQTtG8O5B">Jimmy Lee</a>, saxophonist Doug Jones, keyboardist Erskine Williams, guitarist Ted Cohen, bassist Larry Labes, and percussionist <a href="spotify:artist:0jSI7dyESsAmFxuW1Y7vUH">Darryl Grant</a> completed the lineup. Their best song aesthetically was "Act Like You Know," a 1982 tune with a surging bass line and simple but catchy lyric refrain. <a href="spotify:artist:0qLNsNKm8bQcMoRFkR8Hmh">James</a> also played with <a href="spotify:artist:6YPRXu1dazGYcSZv4HJEH4">the Delfonics</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7tLLSEaHMMJPbsYAz8MkEw">Blue Magic</a> and managed the group Slick. A good performer and charismatic personality, <a href="spotify:artist:0qLNsNKm8bQcMoRFkR8Hmh">James</a> died very prematurely in 1987 at age 38. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
