I thought the same thing today so I posted it to Facebook. EVERYDAY PEOPLE (most black and most white families) just want to live together in peace and harmony but the politicians continually try to divide us. Remember the good we did as united everyday people during the days when Rev. King walk this planet.
@@hockemeyer1 You said what I was just thinking, have been thinking for quite awhile. I remember Dr. King, JFK, RFK and many others who gave us pause to think about who we are as a people, and where we were going as a nation. Look at our world and this nation today. It's a mess. I wonder if this sweet taste of music could be brought back to help remind us what we all need, and what it is that really matters. Lord, have mercy; I am 'everyday people.' ❤️ ✌️ ❤️ 👍
Love you the King of Lovee, The best...Mr. SLY STONE. May you live to 120 years old. Class act in my generation. since 1970 you gave so much to all............G-d bless you.
They were! I am feeling blessed that I was in Southern California until almost six. We moved to Texas and all hell broke lose. My dad was in the military. I am a product of the 1970s, a interracial couple who listen to rhythm and blues. Living on base there was equality. I didn’t hear the degrading things about race until I was 13. Sly’s outfits, Afros and strong African American men were acceptable. To a point at least. I wonder if rap was invented to stop the development of R&B. I like some rap but you got to admit. There isn’t anyway to develop a JIMI, PRINCE or MJ out of the raps tees.
I have linked this song with the lyrics version on more than one blog in 2021. WTF has happened to us? This song is such a simple lesson but it IS FREAKING PROFOUND!
This song is one of the most inspiring songs of its time and they are still performing it so well especially with his words. It needs to be heard all over the world. I am soooo reposting this on FB and anywhere I can. Thanks for posting it. :D
Brother singing all the parts from Sly, Freddie, to Larry Graham but it something we’ll always remember. Saw them in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my sisters and one of my brothers. It was the Riverfront Casino about 2009. They still rocked the house and got to see Cynthia Robinson playing her trumpet with Jerry playing his sax. Simply incredible.

Wow! She was truly a member of "the family" As soon as I saw her, I thought, "she's got to be the original female trumpet player from 1966!" That's loyalty.
How can anyone hit the dislike on this😳 This is a all time classic and still reality from what was going on in the 60's and still going on. I guess some ppl just dont get the nessage and never will.. (just miserable)
apparently I am the second one🤣. I was brought up with that funky shit and so much more. i understand your point of you! a stand up for donny hattaway as well and so many more!! 👌That music will NEVER EXIST AGAIN!!!! so let's dance!💥
interesting in that b4 Cynthia Robinson died a few months back, Sly & the Family Stone was 1 of the rare '60s bands whose original members were all still alive in '15
Just hold that groove down. This has got to be the best bass and drum grooves out there and most recognizable I might add. Also...who is that young girl singin? She is work'in it! I love this song even more now that I've seen this live performance. A+ . Cheers from Canada.
R.I.P Cynthia Robinson blowing your Trumpet in Heaven , We loved your soul ❤
Amen
❤❤❤❤
“Cynthia on the trumpet…”
1969 - Awesome song
2020 - Awesome song
This should be the national anthem of every country on Earth.
1,000% brother!
That's right! Be different but in one
This song will NEVER get old!
your so right I love the song too.
Very needed message right now.
For sure different strokes for different folks. Sly knew what it’s all about.
Happy 80th Birthday Sly Stone March 15th 2023

Been one of the best songs of my generation. Every time I hear racists remarks, I think of this song and I feel it.
They had it right, back then! One of the best songs, ever!👍😎🎸🎶
This song need to be brought back TODAY! This world needs Sly and Stevie dropping some more songs!
2 things that bring people together with a smile food and good music..
Love you the King of Lovee, The best...Mr. SLY STONE. May you live to 120 years old. Class act in my generation. since 1970 you gave so much to all............G-d bless you.
A song for all seasons, Sly gave a lot more good than he ever got in return.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Everybody should listen to this song every morning 🙌✌️❤️🎶
Why can't everybody feel like this? I loved this song in the ' 70's. The message is still the same
because the media, democrats and big business wont allow it!!!
You got that right!
@@USNVA-yn6cp dumb~ more like you will not allow it
Will always love this song ans Sly and The Family Stone. They rocked. Totally!
Powerful lyrics from my generation! Fighting fire with fire will only leave destruction for all... Thank You Zwhaler for the post.
man he needs to perform more, his voice aged beautifully
Freddie Stewart- his son 🎼🎶
Awesome stuff........the 70's were the best

#1 on the Charts in 1969 on this date..... 48 years ago...
Such a great tune, and they can still belt it out over 40 years after it was written and it sounds amazing.
I have linked this song with the lyrics version on more than one blog in 2021. WTF has happened to us? This song is such a simple lesson but it IS FREAKING PROFOUND!
God Bless this band!!!

How can anyone hit the dislike on this😳 This is a all time classic and still reality from what was going on in the 60's and still going on. I guess some ppl just dont get the nessage and never will.. (just miserable)
The message is wonderful and clear. This version is absolutely terrible.
@@unacceptableviews4404 Damn ,I said that over a yr ago, and 1 special person felt the need to respond a yr later😳😳😳😳
the ones who dislike are not everyday people. they are the blue ones who can't accept the green ones. 😁
apparently I am the second one🤣. I was brought up with that funky shit and so much more. i understand your point of you! a stand up for donny hattaway as well and so many more!! 👌That music will NEVER EXIST AGAIN!!!! so let's dance!💥
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a 72yo Aussie fan.
You still kicking around? Song as great as ever
Yes , he is right , we have to Love each others . Thank you

I agree Sarha. I loved this song back then and I still do. It's so true
I love San Franisco CA since live in San Jose what a great show by the group.I cant think of a better city to do it in.Thanks for uploading.
I love this song so much&💜
I love that Yamaha keyboard. I think it has all 88 keys that you'd find on a regular piano.
I love all races! As long as they love people with big hearts!!!
interesting in that b4 Cynthia Robinson died a few months back, Sly & the Family Stone was 1 of the rare '60s bands whose original members were all still alive in '15
I'm so sorry to learn that. RIP Cynthia on the horn.
Yup Jo Baker passed, it is always hard
The truer words of Sly, sad to think that some many of the worlds people haven't listen.
SLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU!
Timeless classic. Greatest city in the world: San Francisco.
truth - if we all lived this, there were be no strife. We could all live with each other.
Don´t you just love it? it shakes everyone´s focus to concentrate on what is really meaningful!! ... you all,
