This poster features a circular photograph of a man with an afro in a white shirt playing a guitar and singing. White text below reads "'I'm gonna add some bottom / so that the dancers just won't hike...' / -Larry Graham, originator of the slap funk bass style / Sly & the Family Stone and Graham Central Station". There is a row of three photos of Oakland musicians across the bottom of the poster. An Oak Tree symbol in the bottom right corner has "Oakland Stroke" below. [This was from a series of 10 posters celebrating local "patron saints and sinners" that were wheat-pasted all over town the year Oaklandish was founded as "a covert street art campaign designed to illuminate local history and the unique cultural legacy existing here in 'the Town' ". -LMC]
