It's crazy how even back then, when you talk about Sly, it seems like a person in past tense. I hate to see brilliant individuals like that, who live long but can't enjoy their legacy properly.
So well deserved! The music today doesn't compare to the music of Sly And The Family Stone, their music will be remembered 100 years from now and life truly is a gift.
It was dark times and the light at the end of the tunnel was sly Stone putting a smile on everyone's face. Their music made you feel good every time you heard it.
Sly & Family Stone deserved this induction. Always have loved Sly for his natural generous soul and giving spirit. Sly is a giver of not only music, but a giver of/from his ❤️. MUCH LOVE and RESPECT, Sly. 🙏🏼 ❤🙏🤗
Wow...he is my cousin. I played organ in his I Get High On You. I was only 12. These are blood cousins. They encouraged us all. I am honored to have them in my life even now.
@@zackzallie8735 I hear you Zack...but my thing is the James Brown and the JB's were always tight and controlled. The James Brown show was controlled fury. Sly and the family always seemed to meander onstage and play some nameless meaningless groove/idea they were phucking around with and THEN start their show. JB and his crew hit the stage like lions and there wasn't all of this between song dead air or tuning up like with Sly. That is my point of reference. During that 20 year disappearance period I met Sly on three separate occasions - out of the proverbial blue - jjst ran into him and he was always as nice and a s gracious as could possibly be. I just get upset with him because he shit all over his career and legacy. I can understand where JB was too black, strong and proud for white folks...but Sly was everything he could have been for all of us and he should be mentioned right up there with all of the top White cats - Jagger, Bowie, Morrison, The Beatles - but instead he allowed himself to become a no show joke/punchline and a train wreck. Breaks my heart. Please talking music with you brother man.
No funk bands were bigger than Sly and the Family would probably be more accurate. Parliament, Funkadelic, and a few other George Clinton related stuff are about as funky as it gets and Sly even joined/joins in with those occasionally.
I was a little 4 years old in 1970 in Atlanta, GA. I have known the words to the song Everyday People for 51 years, I turned 55 last month. As far as Sly and The Family Stone's lasting impact: that song is the Truth. That song, along with the way I was raised, helped form the person that I am to thus very day and that will never change. Thank you to Sly and The Family Stone for that gift.~ April Lipke
@@aarondigby5054 Indeed. I wish we could get back to that...Mutual respect can exist where opinions differ. At least it did when I was a kid. I miss those days. ~APRIL LIPKE
DAMN! THEY KILLED THAT RIGHT THERE! Funky, innovative, creative, multitalented, and soulful as shit! The greatest musical dynasty in history! Sly and the Family Stone are and were my all time favorite band when I was growing up in the 70s! Sly, Larry, Cynthia, Freddie, Jerry, Greg and the incomparable Rose! Your jams played at all my house parties and at What an inspiration you all are to me! 🙏🙏💕💞💓❤
I can't believe I'd never seen this before-wow! So special to see everyone then getting back together and enjoying each other's company after so long...Then Sly sliding in at the end--so very cool! I agree with everything you said--Rose what a sparkplug, what a voice! Damn---what--a--dynasty--of----a-----BAND! Their music will live on forever.
Well, I think James Brown gets credit for inventing funk, but Sly certainly did refine it and re-define it in his own style. One of the truly great innovators.
@@KaiserBlade Papa's Got a Brand New Bag Part 1 is generally considered an early Funk song. The lines between Funk & Rhythm and Blues can get blurry though I am sure.
I’ve been going back and watching and listening to the band again because I love it so much. Not only was the musicianship excellent but it was positive binding and lovely, promoting love of one another in joy.
Can u imagine how good it would've been if this original band line-up had an extensive career with records and videos during the 90's? Sly looked so FRESH in this year...
I've always wondered that. Sly's years of struggles are so sad, but the music is so positive. It's good to hear that he's found sobriety and I hope he's found peace
Sky and the band were comprised of all fine musicians with a message of true love, acceptance and a positive joyous heart. They were a unique band in every way. They lived what they professed and gave it all to us. Thank you Sly and family. Your music and message is eternal.
Thank you Sly and the family Stone for your Music. I have always appreciated and loved your music. I have listened to it for more than 50 years and I’ve seen you in concert twice - what a thrill.
"AND Thank you SLY!" The whole family stone! My favorite dance music! "from the cradle to the (no) grave" . You all will live on forever through your unforgettable songs!
Trying to figure this thing out “WHY IN THE SAM WORLD” this group don’t have more than AFEW MILLION likes...one of the FUNKIEST & SHARPEST GROUPS of the 70’s, and my Top Three Fav Groups Of All Time..
One of my favorite groups. My dad played brass and, as a young child, I listened to Fresh with him. I’ve never seen their induction, and I’m so glad it popped up in my feed.
Love love Sly and the Family Stone. Saw them when I was 18 - about 50 years ago. Loved them then and love them now. At 18 I was blown away by their music. I saw them just before they went to Woodstock- they were amazing. I’ve seen a lot of Rock bands since then but Sly still stands out there as one of the best and most exciting. ❤❤
Great induction. Gee what a sad shame they didn't play live that night. Sly wasn't performing no more by that time. Just happy that all the original members showed up & were grateful & appreciative for the honor. Some bands get into the hall bickering/fighting about money & have huge egos. But not Sly & the Family Stone.
I just looked up who was inducted the same year. WOW! what a class: Ruth Brown, Etta James, CCR, Cream, The Doors, Van Morrison, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers along with Sly and the family Stone.
Sly and the Family Stone, like many other bands in the 60's set an example of how people regardless of race could get together and produce excellent music. We so much need bands like that again!
One of the Greatest Musical Dynasties. Talk about tightness. As a Musician myself, I appreciate this Group. It would have been nice to see them play together one last time. But you know how that goes; here today, gone tomorrow. In 2020, I am hearing unreleased material that I never heard before by this Supergroup. Graham Central Station is just an extension of Sly and the Family Stone. I see ya Funk Genius, Papa George P Fonk Clinton. What more can I say but Musical Royalty at its best. Rest In Peace, Cynthia Robinson.
I luv'd these guys so much that when they pulled a Bob Dylan (no show) at Kiel in St. Louis back in '70-'71, I just shrugged my shoulders and thought 'too bad' Thanks for posting
I am so glad that so many of the original family were alive and well enough to make the appearance at the R & R Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to accept their well deserved recognition.
It was worth the wait and your hard work and dedication payed off. I had at least 5 of your albums. I especially like the one with the psychedelic cover I think it was a two split two albums in one I can't remember it was too long ago 😂 Thank you so much for proving that dedication does pay off and we so loved your music over the years Sly and the family Stone this was a generation of old school that got together black white didn't matter and this what we need in the world today thank you Sly and the family Stone and glad and I'm so happy for you that you were inducted into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame in the earlier years peace and love that's old school that's what it's all about ✌️🕊️✝️🙏✌️❤️
I am guessing that they were annoyed that he was so late or that they didn't know if or when he would make it at all. Those speeches were mostly stalling speeches.
I love this man soooooooo handsome when we get married I love that story of love only God can give you this gift of true friend ship linda j.peace ☮️☮️☮️☮️🦋🦋🦋🦋❤️💯💯💯💯
When Sly and the Family Stone first hit the air waves and began showering us all with their innovatively funky tunes I was just a teenager. The grooves were great, the messages were positive/inclusive and I found a unique sound that was now mainstream and available to people all over the world. A sound that fell somewhere in between the Funkadelics and Stevie Wonder and changed the lives of millions of us who were blessed during that period of time..
Wow... Both Rose and Cynthia look fantastic in this clip! Even though this was 'The Family Stones' night years ago, I'm going to indulge a bit... In my book, also receiving votes for 'most'-- or just as Funky, (or even 'Funkier'!): 'The Ohio Players', 'Mandrill', 'Tower of Power', and-- of course-- the one and ONLY James Brown and the Flames, and 'James Brown & the JBs' ! Naturally, the great Prince belongs in this category, but --face it-- without the fore mentioned, Prince-- as much as I love that brother-- there'd be no Prince Thanks for posting this. LOVE IT!!
DAMN!@.. Until it was STATED I didn't REALIZE that ALL of the ORIGINAL Members at THAT time were still around... WHEN you see who played at Woodstock(1969) you gotta realize that is NO small task... 1ST heard of S&FS via Stand... The BOMB of a Tune for me was ALWAYS "Sex Machine" a REAL Mix of Funk N Chunk 4 sure!@..
Are you kidding! Right now in 2021 they are still all alive except for Cynthia Robinson. She died from cancer in 2015. This induction was in 1993. RIP Cynthia.
Sly, Rose, & Frederick are my 3rd cousins...My grandmother's first cousins, my mother's second, and my 3rd cousins...they could draw a crowd, and still can! God Bless you cousins!
Wow!! You’re part of an extremely talented family, much respect to your cousins for being at the top of the FUNK PANTHEON! Long live Sky Stone, 🙏✊🤘☝️🫡👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing thank you so muchh whoever posted this as larry said almost brought tears to my eyes ..and One of those trophies came to my house that night shhh time to be like Sly and disappear smile
thk u, Cynthia, for mentioning parade & marching band that ur Mom supported ur virtuoso participation. PLEASE DONATE TO LOCAL & ALL MARCHING BANDS!!’ Parade & marching bands produce Cynthias in the world!
This band is hugely responsible for the evolution of Hip Hop especially during the Golden Era from ‘86 to ‘94. Dr Dre, Digital Underground, KRS ONE to name just a few who used their samples and Janet Jackson used Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin) in Rhythm Nation
Love their gospel flavored rendition of "Que Sera, Que Sera". I have the greatest hits double album with the badass artistry on its covers. Glad they are all alive RIP Cynthia Robinson.💖🎶

Sly was a pioneer. A musical genius. His music will be here forever. I hope Sly has peace, love and happiness because that's what he gave us. ❤

During the band member speeches I wondered why no one mentioned Sly but when he (literally) popped out I understood why! What a great moment!
One hell of a band at the right time. RIP Cynthia Robinson.
We need this type of music now as we needed it back in 1968 Come together and not Division music forget about hate and come together right now!
Everybody Stand!!!!!
🙏🏿
@@jameshuseby6290They were black, white, male, female. A band for all. The world we wanted was represented by Sly and the Family Stone.
yes, even our elementary school teachers permitted SLY & TFS’s lyrics to be sung, in classrooms AND assemblies, all together now, no problem!
It was dark times and the light at the end of the tunnel was sly Stone putting a smile on everyone's face. Their music made you feel good every time you heard it.
Sly & Family Stone deserved this induction.
Always have loved Sly for his natural generous soul and giving spirit.

Sly -rags to riches THEN.. riches to rags 🙂// 🙁
This band was probably The most innovative band who set the stage for generation
Probably? WAS!
Generations!
@@jameshuseby6290 is, this creative group was iconic, diverse and they merged funk, rock, soul, rhythm and blues. Probably the first super group.
James Brown is the fount.
Sly Stone!! Makes it to the podium as they’re closing up, says a few words and dips out!! Rockstar $h!t right there!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Yes, ego
@@robertbeckerbecker1354 oh come on… Sly isn’t near as bad as people a fraction of his talent..
Sly & The family Stone a huge influence on rock, soul and r&b. This is a GREAT American band.
Wow...he is my cousin. I played organ in his I Get High On You. I was only 12. These are blood cousins. They encouraged us all. I am honored to have them in my life even now.
Excellence.
You are truly blessed!
Your cousin is a gift to the world of music

Amazing. You’re an influence on my organ playing
My favorite funk band of all time. Larry and Sly are geniuses.
You 4get George Clinton.
I was grooving to their greatest hits today
What a band
My favorite band of all time! Still listening to them and loving every song in 2020!
Whenever I feel down, Stand will get me back up AND start to move to the groove
Oh Yes
Thank you...Sly & The Family Stone!!!
There would be no Prince without Sly and the Family Stone. Genius band.
No band that's funkier than these guys. Long live Sly Stone!
With all due respect Zack, I beg to differ. James Brown and his JB's would have wiped the floor with Sly and the Family Stone.

It's nice that they are all still alive today - except Cynthia who died of cancer just a few years ago.

11:22 Suddenly Sly appears.
The thing is, he still looked great around that time.
RIGHT 🤘!
Hurts to see. Such an icon could fell off because of drugs. I'm glad he's still with us today.
Sly was 50 here and still so handsome with that sexy voice to match!
So glad they made it! Should have been inducted decades ago-and that is why I will never go to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I did not hear anyone really thanking Sly himself for leading the band. I was surprised by that.
AGREED
I am guessing that they were annoyed that he was so late or that they didn't know if or when he would make it at all. Those speeches were mostly stalling speeches.
Love you all !

What a beautiful set of speeches, humble and reflective. A great band who contributed so much to music today!
Thank you for this!
One of the best show I ever saw. MSG 1969🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Couldn't find a better group of musicians!
That bro take his time tank you im glad too and is she birthday party america was great again cause of your♥️💪
