Stanley Clarke is arguably the greatest bassist to ever walk the earth. Many people know him for 'School Days,' 'I Wanna Play For You,' and others. But this album, 'Rocks, Pebbles And Sand' is a lot better than what people give it credit for. Yes, Stanley does sing on this record, but his voice isn't terrible.
