The winter of 1972 My Mother let me drive her car a sweet plane Jane Ford 289 3 on the tree. I put my eight track under the dash with home made speakers in a box on the floor in the back seat. I bought this eight track tape ‘there’s a riot going on from Hunts Department Store. There was this one song Family Affair, I dug it so much I drove by the high school playing it. A friend of mine heard in class.. I had the fro back then Aw so cool.. carefree no Problems.. still to this day I love it.. such a laid back groove.. LB September 2022
Rose is on my all time crush list. She is a couple years older than my mom but yeah. I wanted her in 1967 and 2017. She's still hot here, and her voice is epic.
Sly's sister Rose still got that beautiful voice. Family Affair by Sly & The Family Stone and Superstition by Stevie Wonder are both tied at #1 on my all time list. You just don't hear good music like this no more.
I’m only 33 years old & I found myself riding driving to this song time to time when I go out to the bar sometimes lol. To see them live man they still got it…I may be young this may be before my time but I still love it. I old music❤️
Musical lyrical inspirational genius. Masterfully musically articulated life along his journey. I'm so blessed to have been along 4 the ride. Stay blessed. Love you Sly. JUNIE
The lady with the gold is Vaetta(Baby Sister) who wrote "Somebody's Watching You" and she was also my beaty instructor in Hollywood. i sang with them and what a blessed and Sangin' family. Go yall. Hey Lisa!
I listen to sly forfive times a day my favourite song is “in time “I can sing the whole song I like when he says “ he don’t give a heck if he is blind and making litter do do do do “in time “going to need a babysitter
I had the pleasure of seeing them in 1970 in San Antonio at the Hemisfair Arena. Someone snatched his brother’s hat and Sly refused to play until they gave it back.
Im a lover of all soul music and this band were and still are so cool, try and find this sound today , and youll wont be lucky. These are true musicians , give it up for Sly , must be one of the greats!
The Live version of Family Affair is so beautifully arranged, this song has for me a sadness to it because it tells to sides to a family and some of the problems( if I'm correct). A shot out to Sly and the singers-musicians on this song, very well done!
I am white, live in Sweden, 68 now, but remember how "There's a riot goin' on" just blew my mind when it was released!! A revolution, different from everything else, sooo cooool. Loved it to death - and still do! 💯🎶🎵 This is one hell of a performance!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙏
Happy 78th birthday to Sly Stone, born this day in 1943, leader of the psychedelic, funk, soul, rock group Sly & The Family Stone, who scored a number one hit with this release in 1971, this track has since been covered by various artists over the yrs
@solomonmorris7 Couldn't have stated it any better my friend. You covey my exact sentiments concerning Sly & especially his influence on our generation. All about bringing us "together". A finer Legacy just cannot exist. IMHO Thank you very much. : )
This song lyrically and sound was far far ahead of the times ! I played "If you want me to stay" @ work and young adults kept asking me over and over to play it again. When I put on "family affair" a young lady said "what new group or artist is that?!?!
A poet of written words that he like so few could get in front of large crowds and share. Ends up living on the streets , With his neighbors calling authorities on him.
Love it!! I wore this 45 out.....has to be close to, if not my favorite, of Sly's. That's sayin' ALOT......I know. : ) So many absolute Classics. Thanks for this gem, wasn't expecting such a nice suprise. : )
Thank you for this azuma! I was hunting the best version of this song I could find as I've got a bunch of family coming from out of state tomorrow. We're mostly all 'olds', and we just lost our oldest. We plan to love, laugh and sing and I thought this song would be perfect!
It's all about the space ! It's the space in the music that makes them a tight band. Not so much what their playing, but what their leving out ! The Space .
Sly ( Slippy Brick) change the course of Music back in the day , and his monumental influence is still in affect today !!! There was music before Sly hit the scene , then there was music After Sly hit the scene 🤔 I'm just Sayin !!!

I'm a 64 year old white guy that still enjoys this genius and his work!
Me too. I’m 60....
Still enjoying this in 2023 ❤
Sly Stone is a survivor, he ain't eye candy anymore but the moment he sings he's still the man as far as I'm concerned.
Sly is gorgeous!
I'm Right with ya!!!! ❤❤
Rose is on my all time crush list. She is a couple years older than my mom but yeah. I wanted her in 1967 and 2017. She's still hot here, and her voice is epic.
They called him a Prophet..........he was.....what a super guy....I grew up with him and his music..........very innovative......
He is Still Alive and is A super star😊😅🎉😂❤
The funkiest man still. Sly Stone rocks.
Saw Sly at Madison Square Garden back in ‘72 with Rare Earth ! What a show!!
Sly Stone Forever!!! I've got nothing but love for him.
Sly destryoed race barriers in Soul music.
With Santana also !! : D
Family Affair is my favorite song of all of Sly's music.
mine too 🥰
My one regret in life is that I never had the pleasure to see these dudes play live.
Great music sly and family ! Long live the 70 miss the seventy’s
Loved Sly, still do. Its a shame what happened to him. He was the greatest, made creativity look so easy. One of their best tunes, my favorite.
Wow! My favorite drive around town song!
Sly's sister Rose still got that beautiful voice. Family Affair by Sly & The Family Stone and Superstition by Stevie Wonder are both tied at #1 on my all time list. You just don't hear good music like this no more.

That good voice Sly
Sly wrote and originally performed "Somebody's Watching You"
Classic stuff never gets old; and it sure is good seeing Sly doing his thing.
Everything from little Richard to James brown to Stevie wonder sly was the greatest
The motif @ the beginning/middle, is a beautiful touch to this song. Lisa, does a lovely job…Thanx…
What a voice! And the harmonies with the other singers and the arrangement are incredible.
Sly can talk better than most brothers sing...THAT VOICE
I listen to sly forfive times a day my favourite song is “in time “I can sing the whole song I like when he says “ he don’t give a heck if he is blind and making litter do do do do “in time “going to need a babysitter

They used to be my neighbors on Sequoyah View Dr. in Oakland! Those were the days (the early 1970's)!
Town Biz
GOD!, this is 2011 , The Man Still IS!!!
We Love you , Sylvester!!! Stay with us !!!
Brings back great memories of my youth.! 🤠
In case you didn't know, I LOVE SLY
I never get tired of listening to Sly and the Family Stone. His music is timeless.
The best and the coolest Family Affair!
sly & the family stone is a fantastic group were my favorite on 69 to 72 year
Im a lover of all soul music and this band were and still are so cool, try and find this sound today , and youll wont be lucky. These are true musicians , give it up for Sly , must be one of the greats!
Love. When a song have a positive msg in it

This is an old post but I'm loving it in 2019
A poet of written words that he like so few could get in front of large crowds and share. Ends up living on the streets , With his neighbors calling authorities on him.

Sly still sounds good.
what a great band ,timeless
Me and My Sister love to pretend we where back up singers in the early 70"s
Simply Love💕👍🏾💯
That's right a genius.And Master.
by years, I may be called old, by how I feel, I am younger than many I meet on the street. nuff said!
I agree
I feel the same way about aging
I LIKE THAT WELL SAID
Danm skippy...old school 4life
The best!!
Legendary!
Africa for them would sound great! The Wilda Beast!
Attended the show that night
Followed him at his hotel
Had a chit chat with him and his daughter Phun
What can I say
Sublime
Go Giants, Sly!
That guitar....at 1:45.....is simply perfect.
thats because Sly's brother played it originally and here too!
@@willmarshall2364 Sly played the guitar part on the record, and Freddie is not present at this performance.
An irrepressible sense of authenticity.
Exactly 🙌🏾
AWE I LOVE'EM HE'S OUR LIVING LEGEND! OURS 😉
Saw him in the early 70's in Atlanta at the Georgia Tech campus
Sly as a fox and heavy as a stone.
Seen all the top bands , Tull , stones , Silverhead , Santana etc. But Sly tops them all live
So glad to see him still doing his thing, A-plus!!!!
Sly ( Slippy Brick) change the course of Music back in the day , and his monumental influence is still in affect today !!! There was music before Sly hit the scene , then there was music After Sly hit the scene 🤔 I'm just Sayin !!!
My favorite of theits😊❤
This is Rock and Roll...
LOVE ME SOME SLY STONE!

America it is a Family Affair...
It must be nice to have all your family on stage every night:like one long wedding party!
