Sly Stone was light years ahead on everyone . I’m grateful that I have a chance to experience this talented Man and his so talented band. I’m so glad he also was smart enough to know the record company was ripping him off. So he got what was due. Compensation!!!!!!!
@@michaelcrawford5083 They got stoned. If the press was correct they missed concerts on the way up to the stage. Never knew if it was true, but it was generally believed if you went to a concert there was better than even Chance that the band wouldn't show.
They were not allowed to play their own music because someone said they ripped them off so he became homeless until just a few years back he finally won and I would be the isn't homeless now thank God
This has been an earworm, all this week! He has that super, awesome, African American SWAG and amazing talent. Prince claimed he learned from Sly and Jimi Hendrix. ❤️ them all.
If you go and hear a band playing like that, sounding like that TODAY, you would say that's a bad ass band.Sly's band invented this FUNK back in the seventies!!!
March 25th 2020 standing with Sly and the family... Hopefully brother Sly you can scroll social communications and see how much you are appreciated!!! The naysayers will be naysayers you know how to get beyond that mess. ❤❤❤❤❤🎹
Hey nobody noticed the female background singer to Sly's left & with the tambourine was PATRICE " CHOCOLATE" BANKS of his former bassist Larry Graham's Graham Central Station Band!!
TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY April 12, 1969 - 51 Years Ago Today: Sly & The Family Stone debuted at No. 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "Stand!" This Sly Stone-penned song was the psychedelic soul band's 6th entry on the Hot 100 and it became their 3rd Top 25 hit when it peaked at No. 22 on May 17, 1969. Between 1968-75, the group scored 20 singles on the Hot 100 which included 10 Top 40's, 5 Top Tens and 3 No. 1's.

When we got fed T.V. dinners me and my brother knew that Mom Pops were about to throw a Party like this and we gobbled it down quick because we couldn't wait for the action to start you DIG..LOL
Okay, did he just do the slyest bump at 5:09? It’s like it boosts him to finish that sentence correctly and get the room back lol. Man, the way he wins the crowd at the end... It reminds me of the really good Mitch hedberg special he taped where the crowd wasn’t fuckin wit it till the end. So sick
This music stands up as well today as the day it was laid down.
live rock and FUNKY rock at that. everyone was playing and moving however the spirit felt. Sly was just the instigator....rip dude.
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 Sly Stone is still alive.
@@mobrules29 I stand corrected.
Glad I was young enough to see him and War in concert for $15

Love the way they sing & they all sing along together very well too. I love the way how they all play their instruments very nicely.

Saw Sly in 1970-71 in NYC. It was my first concert.

Drummer gets much love...I'm here cuz I'm trying to find the drum tutorial for the outro, myself!

probably andy newmark
timeless message
Glad Sly made that potion of the audience sitting un-ass those seats!
Love me some Sly and the Family.
Genius.
Oh... and those LYRICS!!!!!! In the context of 1969? THIS was verrry conscious, and socially “ON IT”!
Hey nobody noticed the female background singer to Sly's left & with the tambourine was PATRICE " CHOCOLATE" BANKS of his former bassist Larry Graham's Graham Central Station Band!!
Just as true ib 2021 as it was in 1974
The lyrics are golden!
