Larry Carlton's "Christian" music career is actually very interesting. Larry started out in the 60's with the band The (Jazz) Crusaders who had a big hit in 1979 with "Street Life". Larry continued with them while both pursuing a solo career as well as doing a lot of session work. He certainly was one of the hardest working men in the business. The story of his coming to Christ is not your normal "a friend introduce me" story instead he describes it as follows. "...I started reading a lot of books on different religions. I remember there was one night in Philadelphia after a show. I had been reading these books and digesting and thinking about religion. I just remember coming to a conclusion one night after a gig. I was lying in bed and I just told the Lord, “I don’t know any more about you than I did 2 months ago, but I choose you.” That was the beginning of my relationship with the Holy Spirit." Larry however never really considered moving to the Christina music industry and stayed in the secular market. This was his first release after his coming to Christ. There is actually more to Larry's life story, lots more, but we will cover it chronologically as it relates to his album releases so stay tuned for more.
