Rufus Thomas - Breakdown and Funky Chicken Live ( you want the video with the girl in the polka dot dress thumbnail). You guys going to have loads of fun reacting to it..and so will we by watching you. Appreciate the amazing work you do🙏Keep going strong👍
Sly Stone probably invented funk. If he didn't invent it, I don't know who did. Also, this was one of the first integrated bands in rock, if not the first.
@@CorneiliusLibowitz He did actually, they threw auditions and a bunch of random people showed up. The two men that played with him, were the two men that he chose out of all that auditioned. So they didn’t know each other prior to being in the band. It’s a pretty cool story.
Sylvester Stewart and his sister, Rose grew up in my home town and graduated from my high school.. Know all about this family. A young Sly also spun records as a DJ at a SF Bay Area radio station before making it big in the mid 60's..
Hey Jamel bought Sly & Family Stones greatest hits when l was 13 . Still my favourite and I'm 64 now. Hot Fun in the Summertime still my fave .Even back in 1970 I appreciated their black and white togetherness. BTW I am white and Canadian which really shouldn't matter should it? Love ya! 🇨🇦
Summer of Soul now streaming on Hulu(Questlove directed) The Sly footage blows the Woodstock films away(in clarity & Sound). A film documenting the Harlem Cultural Festival (1969) was never seen until now! A young Stevie Wonder, BB King,,Mahalia Jackson. Nina Simone to make a few! This film might win an Oscar!!!
Sly and The Family Stone were top tier cool music and humans! This is the way it was...seriously. None of the manufactured division that's being ginned up today.
Sly was so important to the late 60's - early 70s music and those times. You've got to check out Sly & The Family Stone - October 20th 1969 Live. Then you'll see the band so many of us enjoyed. This video was from the Ed Sullivan show, which was 3 minutes and "next".
Sly and the Family Stone won an ABC TV talent competition that aired one summer circa 1967 or 1968. I watched the show that summer. Every week different musical acts competed. I wanted them to win and was so happy when they did. I recall it was the song Everyday People that they performed. I highly recommend watching their Woodstock performance of "Wanna Take Ya Higher". Electrifying!
I was dancing then it was over…. Please find more of SFS, the songs of my teen years! I was the first of my friends to get her license so I fill my car with friends & go out in the country, we’d all get out and blast them out! So much fun!
Sad to see where life landed Sly in the end. He was to cool of a guy with too good of a message to have ended up where he did.....But he seems to still be that cool guy at heart.
Love your channel Jamel! I enjoy watching your reactions because they're pretty much the same as I had hearing these older tunes 40-50 years ago for the first time. I don't know if you've heard the complete version of either of those songs but if not you really should check them out. "Dance To The Music" is funky good stuff. For some more funky stuff you should check out a group named The Meters. ✌️✌️
Love this! I grew up listening to Sly and the Family song. I really enjoyed this reaction. Another good one is “Everybody is a Star” “I want to take you higher” “Hot Fun in the Summer Time”. Enjoy!
If you want more of this funky groove, Check out Larry Graham and Grand Central Station live on Sinbad’s Summer jam. They absolutely kill all of Sly’s hits. That was Larry on the bass In the clip you guys just watched.
Yes!! Jamal though Slys biggest hits were in the late 60's his funkiest was in the 70's!! Check 1) Thank,You for Talking to me Africa 2) Poet 3) The Same Thing(That makes you laugh, makes you cry).
I'm really enjoying you and your brothers reactions on your channel!!! If you want to see more Sly, check out Soul Train( if you can view it). He did a full live set on there. A quick fact...the tall gentleman playing the bass with the deep voice is Larry Graham. He had that song "One in a Million," you've heard that before I'm sure. He is also the uncle of Drake.
I think it was New Year's Eve & Day 1976......when I attended a 2-day concert inside of Diamond Head Crater in Honolulu, HI. BTO & America were the headliners, but we also had Billy Preston, Cheech & Chong, Seals & Croft, Melissa Manchester, Sly Stone (....without the 'Family' I think...) There were a BUNCH of groups.....but also so much weed, that I had to look up the full list a few years ago....to remember. I think it was called 'Crater Fest'.
There's GOT to be the whole thing! It's ALWAYS been my favorite from my younger years. I'm 65 today and would LOVE to have heard you're young man's opinions !!!
HEY JAMEL 😎 THIS BAND WAS 🔥🔥🔥 🎸🎸 💃 🎹 BACK IN THE DAY, ❤ YOUR REACTION WITH YOUR BROS, YOU & QUINTEL LOOK ALIKE , & HAVE THE SAME 😁, ✌ OUT FROM LA 💙 TOO.
Jamel, The Brother on the Bass; is Larry Graham - the OG Bass Slapper & the Mentor to Prince ! ... Perhaps, You've heard His '70's Hit - "One in a Million" ... Do check - it out ! 😉
Recently watched 'Summer of Soul.' Sly was referred to as the Proto-Prince. Indeed. I'll never forget that reference. Also, watch the movie if you haven't!!!
SAD TO THINK THE THINGS "SLY STONE" LET HIMSELF GET INTO AS SO SSOOO MANY MUSICIAN'S DID IN THE 5O'S ~ 8O'S SO MUCH TALENT GOT LOST HE IS A PREMIUM EXAMPLE OF GREAT UP LIFTING POSITIVE MUSIC FOR A BETTER TOMORROW AND WORLD SHORT BUT AMAZING THANKS JAMEL_AKA_JAMAL & GRIFFIN BROTHERS ✌🏼& LO💚E MY BROTHERS
LOVED this! YES, you MUST find a longer version AND ALSO do what Sly Stone asks: GET UP and DANCE !!! Jamel, you+your brothers are greater than the sum of three individuals! You need to find a name: maybe The Brothers Griffin? Lastly, we know you’re married to a wonderful woman! Maybe this is too personal, but your brothers don’t have any rings, so … are they able to date? Just askin’ for a friend !!! ☮️💜
Sly was a great band. I wore a couple albums of theirs out back in the day when I was in high school. The clip is too short, but you do get a taste of their music with it.
Brutally truncated, brothers! So, ya figure Laurent looks like slap-bass king Larry Graham. I agree, and that'll be a wicked cool theme for you guys to dress up in next Halloween, fancy dress thing, etc. 👍😉
Jamel and brothers, the longer video is from the Woodstock concert, the greatest solo artist and groups are all there...check it out !! I was forbidden to go but, lucky for us all.. we received the whole 3 days of music and Love through the full length 2 part film at the State and Lake theater in Chicago, il... I was an usher at the theater as well as my brother Joe...the theater was across from the old Chicago theater ... Ll the greatest were there, even Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendricks, Carlos Santana and more....your family has to watch the full length film...I have it on VHS still until today and I am 67 years young and living in Brasil SA now.. God bless you and your family , stay well, be at peace with the Lord a d you will always remain blessed...Gid is great always... peace, love, and kindness always...From Chicago to Mexico to Brasil to you.... God bless always
Hey! I know, you want more Sly And The Family Stone footage. I hope, you check out "Summer Of Soul", directed by Questlove (it's on Hulu). It is a documentary that just came out this year, with long forgotten footage from the Harlem Music Festival of 1969. Good Lord, there's too many greats to mention.

A.B. Yes the 9 minute one from Wattstax. I saw the DVD and it was wonderful.
Please try our band Foxzen ruclips.net/video/Bk_7HRq49R8/видео.html
For a time Sly was the coolest dude in the universe. Might still be. More of Sly And The Family Stone...please ! Great reaction guys !
Sly Stone probably invented funk. If he didn't invent it, I don't know who did. Also, this was one of the first integrated bands in rock, if not the first.
James Brown invented it A L L!
@Gerald H The Meters as well!
Jimi Hendrix played with 2 British white dudes before Sly and the Family Stone came out....
@@CorneiliusLibowitz He did actually, they threw auditions and a bunch of random people showed up. The two men that played with him, were the two men that he chose out of all that auditioned. So they didn’t know each other prior to being in the band. It’s a pretty cool story.
Booker T and the MGs was half black half white and started in 1962.
We've been robbed and short changed Jamel! This band was pure🔥give us some more Sly brother🎶🌴
My parents knew what to expose me to. Who can resist dancing? Sly was one fine performer. It ended too soon!!!
Sylvester Stewart and his sister, Rose grew up in my home town and graduated from my high school.. Know all about this family. A young Sly also spun records as a DJ at a SF Bay Area radio station before making it big in the mid 60's..
Everyday People was the #1 song on the charts when I was born. Late February 1969.
I love that song. We bleed red my brothers and sisters.
The bass player on the far right is Larry Graham of Graham Central Station. He is also Drake's uncle (Drake's dad's brother)!!
I saw Sly and the Family Stone in concert, in Amarillo Texas, in 1970. I still have that first vinyl recording, too!
Hey Jamel bought Sly & Family Stones greatest hits when l was 13 . Still my favourite and I'm 64 now. Hot Fun in the Summertime still my fave .Even back in 1970 I appreciated their black and white togetherness. BTW I am white and Canadian which really shouldn't matter should it? Love ya! 🇨🇦
You guys put a smile on my face. Your joy and good humor, big smiles - a lotta love!
Love, love, love Sly and the Family Stone!!
Summer of Soul now streaming on Hulu(Questlove directed) The Sly footage blows the Woodstock films away(in clarity & Sound). A film documenting the Harlem Cultural Festival (1969) was never seen until now!
A young Stevie Wonder, BB King,,Mahalia Jackson. Nina Simone to make a few! This film might win an Oscar!!!
Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated
Everyday People is THE track for the right words & vibes, also it's cover by Arrested Development "People Everyday"
their woodstock performance is very worth watching
Their Woodstock performance is FIRE!!!!!!!
These guys and KC and the Sunshine Band got everybody dancing! Good times!
Truth!
songs like these make my heart sing
Probably the best song by Sly & the Family Stone was "Stand". Great lyrics. They were way ahead of their time. Admired by Miles Davis and James Brown.
that was definitely cut. where they say "I'm gonna add a little..." is accompanied by a solo
Yeah, the drummer does his thing for a while solo and then the guitar then the bass then the organ.
Sly and The Family Stone were top tier cool music and humans! This is the way it was...seriously. None of the manufactured division that's being ginned up today.
Sly was the man for years. He made people feel good and his grooves were "groovy". Thanks guys have a good! "Everyday" is my fave Sly song!
We all danced to this. So much fun. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sly was so important to the late 60's - early 70s music and those times. You've got to check out Sly & The Family Stone - October 20th 1969 Live. Then you'll see the band so many of us enjoyed. This video was from the Ed Sullivan show, which was 3 minutes and "next".
This song takes me back!! I was in 5th grade just discovering music. The radio was always on before school and this song is one I remember the most
React to Sly's "Hot Fun In the Summertime" Jamel it's a banger 😀
Saw them LIVE years ago...was magic when Sly would show up...many times late or no show but when he did....LOOK OUT!!!

Sad to see where life landed Sly in the end.

Sly was amazing. Great band. You’ve got to find more. 💜💜💜

Family Affair is one of my all time favorite songs. Sly and the Family Stone invented psychedelic funk.
IT'S a Family Affair is great song.
Laron.... You are one FINE brotha. Love the channel Jamel, and the " be a good human" message. Awesome.
I can only find the audio with still pics on here, but the medley they did at Woodstock is worth a listen
Silk Sonic's new single "Smokin Out The Window" comes out November 5th. The album drops November 12th. Can't wait for your reaction.
Sly is the best American band in last 50 years! Please do family affair, best song ever written besides Ronnie and ronettes be my baby

Everyday People is an awesome song. I wish there was more of it!
Drove from Ca. to Vegas to see Sly, he passed out on his organ on second song.
My African American Musix professor at UGA was Slys back up singer from Kenya
OML!!! What is it about SLY that makes me want to move from the first beat??? It’s just SOOOOO GOOD!!!
LOVE ME SOME ( GB3. ) thanks guys , great way to start the weekend. GOD BLESS YALL
Another option... there is an appearance on Midnite Special (Take you Higher and Dance to the Music)
There's them playing this at Woodstock! !
Full version
I can’t believe you kids didn’t grow up listening to Sly. Your mom has to be my age. 60
Wanted them to see the videos
Sly Stone on Soul Train is worth checking out....
The bass player Larry Graham went on to form Graham Central Station and also is the rapper Drake’s uncle.
Love your work, and you guys! thank you for great content!!
My favorite album of theirs is "Life." I also love "Stand!" Both probably have the most great songs of any of their work.
One of my to 30 favorite songs!!
Jamel, The Brother on the Bass; is Larry Graham - the OG Bass Slapper & the Mentor to Prince ! ... Perhaps, You've heard His '70's Hit - "One in a Million" ... Do check - it out ! 😉
Recently watched 'Summer of Soul.' Sly was referred to as the Proto-Prince. Indeed. I'll never forget that reference. Also, watch the movie if you haven't!!!
Favorite Sly album..."There's a Riot Goin' On". Just kick back and play the whole dang thing, y'all.
Look for his Woodstock performance or even from the Summer of Soul documentary. I love me some Sly!!!!
This was on my mind, at this moment, and this video popped up. Sweet!
You can get a whole set list if you purchase the whole Woodstock concert brother...nice take guys...

Grand dude here, you can get sly at .."live on music scene 1969"
Sly was a great band. I wore a couple albums of theirs out back in the day when I was in high school. The clip is too short, but you do get a taste of their music with it.
Jamal, this is one of my favourite clips.😁
My favorite Sly song.
Should listen to the studio version of sly's music..they always cut the live versions short. The solo's on this song were great.
Brutally truncated, brothers!
So, ya figure Laurent looks like slap-bass king Larry Graham. I agree, and that'll be a wicked cool theme for you guys to dress up in next Halloween, fancy dress thing, etc.
👍😉

The longer video is the Ed Sullivan video from which this truncated version was taken.
Go find the Woodstock footage of them. Want to take you higher. That song.
We want more Jamel!!!!!
Hey! I know, you want more Sly And The Family Stone footage. I hope, you check out "Summer Of Soul", directed by Questlove (it's on Hulu).

Dang. That is a shame that video is so short. I love Sly Stone.
