Talent un-matched. Style never duplicated. Some artists cannot be copied. Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Sly & the Family Stone. Have you ever heard them rehearse? I HAVE....FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT. AT HIS POPS HOME ON THE CORNER OF URBANO AND DESOTO DRIVES IN SAN FRANCISCO'S INGLESIDE TERRACE. THEY WERE MY NEIGHBORS. I WAS THE KID ON THE STINGRAY BIKE OUTSIDE OF THEIR GARAGE, SOAKING UP WHAT WOULD BE LATER DEFINED AS FUNK. THEN, I'D RIDE HOME AND TRY TO PLAY WHAT SLY WAS PLAYING ON HIS FARFISA ORGAN IN PRACTICE. CYNTHIA WAS THE KINDEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAD EVER TALKED TO. BEING AN 8 YEAR OLD, I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONVERSATION FOR HER, BUT SHE MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION. LOVE HER FOREVER. 20 YEARS LATER, FREDDIE CAME TO MY STUDIO, AND PLAYED SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET....HE PLAYED A BASS LINE, SPACED RHYTHM, AND A MELODY LINE...ALL AT THE SAME TIME. HE MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET. THEY ALL WERE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME FROM CHILDHOOD, AND I'M INFLUENCED BY THEM IN EVERY SONG THAT I WRITE OR PRODUCE. THANK YOU MY LEGENDS
What a wonderful experience. I can understand how you would treasure the time spent with Sly and his family!
The great thing about being old as s**t now is that we lived through this amazing music and times!!!
You weren't even alive when this song was out so what the hell are you talking about?
@@bigolebot LMAO..........I was 13!
@@simon5005 a so called boomer saying *lmao* was supposedly 13 when Life was out in 68. Hard to believe
Im 13 now and i think this music is amazing
@@bigolebot maybe appreciate the music instead of trying to catch someone not being an age of your liking? There’s not enuf time in LIFE for that sort of malarky…
Saw Sly live (opening act Wilson Pickett & The Midnight Movers.. dare I say “W.O.W.”)
Harvard stadium maybe ‘71? Sly and the Family Stone one of the most outstanding talents of all time ‘nuff said.
One of the best bands that ever did it!!! 🎤🎹🎶🥁🎺🎷🔊
I love this song! Sly was the best!
Best dressed drummer!!!
Little Cynthia is so cute. R.I.P.
Looks like Elaine Brown
Pound for pound it there anybody better? xxx
P-Funk in 1975-1976
What a great find. I never knew there was a video for this. Thank you.
WOW!!
Loved the song but, never seen this video. Didn't think one existed!
Thanks for this wonderful post. A true gem!
Larry's shirt is awesome
This is so Funky, Cool and Groovy.
I would have loved to see this when I was 12 . Ah well , its still cool , decades late .
"If he stopped bein' so shady
He could have a nice young lady"
Wow.
titostacos Words a lot of guys need to learn today!
❤❤❤❤❤ my second favorite album by SLY & company..brilliant..
☝🏼Nobody can touch Sly, nobody! Any musical categories you have, any judgements about people or LIFE leave at the door they’re meaningless here!👑
I'm in love with Rose. I like her best when she wears that white wig. Super fine Black woman of the 60's.
And she can really play that trumpet.
@@waynejohanson1083 I think he's talking about sly's sister not Cynthia even though Cynthia is good looking too well was good looking
Smooth . Their greatest hit's stuff like this was so meaningful to me as a child . The Older Soul tunes had Heart .
Bough the album in Viet Nam. Helped me make it through my time there.
GOOSEBUMPS & MEMORIES like I can’t even begin to explain!
Here's great stage configuration for the band. Should had employed it in live shows. This is almost a throw away aming GREATEST HITS but the lyris and musicality are still marvels of method and madness.
This isn't one of their biggest hits, but it's close to the top in entertainment value.
Yeah, M'Lady got played more but I always played this when I got my hands on the disco !
I'm partial to afros,love them!
Love this one. They were my favorite band back in the day and Huge were I was living in the Bay Area.
Thanks. Had forgotten all about this song. It opens the movie " Death At A funeral" and I remember singing this... it was all over the radio when I was 10 years old. Because of all the Great songs " Sly & The Family Stone " created they will always be remembered and the songs heard. " Everyday People". Truly one of the best bands I ever saw live in Philly.
YES top POP and SOUL!!!!!!!!
Groovy can you dig it!
Wow so clear!
DAMN, ROSE JUST AS FINE AS SHE WANNA BE!
I agree...she's so fine!
Beautiful and talented ❣️
Back in elementary (70’s) this was my favorite band while my peers was into the Jacksons. Glad to know my taste has aged well.👌🏾
If you were in elementary school throughout the 70s. You missed out
@@bigolebot Not at all my friend. I just generalize saying 70’s. I’m a Boomer. Caught it all from the beginning. The best of times musically 🔥🔥🔥
@@bigolebot Was born in 57. Never said I was in elementary throughout 70’s. Dance to the music was the first 45 I brought
@@richlyredeemed48 oh, my bad my friend.. silly me..
Yeah you're right we lived it all. 60s-70s were the golden days of music if you ask me... 80s to an extent too
@@bigolebot Nuff said. Be blessed, stay safe ✝️✝️✝️
What a fabulous track! Thank you so much for doing this video - I so wish I'd been there.
Sly was well ahead of his time and was the prototype for Funkadelic, Parliament, even Earth Wind and Fire. He brought rock and soul music together for the first time.
This was the flip side of M'Lady, another great track but I liked this one best.
he was not the first to bring Rock and soul together bro come on there were others who were doing that before him
Far out! My favorite Sly song!
great funk song
LOL this is not a funk song bro that is a pop song Rock oriented not funk LOL
saw them live in boston '73....burned the house DOWNNNNN
Cynthia and Jerry saying all that's necessary " All the squares go home ! "
So Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😄😄😄😁😁😁😁😄😄
Sly and the Family Stone were the best ever.....
Love it! True words.
Perfect
True words. Love it!
"Dog gets hip and has to go. If you're lovin' you can't be sad no mo."
I was a SaTFS fan and a slap bass fan and a funkster from the South Bay Area... it was amazing!
If I hear of anyone needing footage I will remember Reeling in the years.
Thanks very much for posting the entire scene. Appreciate that.
Perfection
THANKS!!
the classic
That was cool! Thank you
[All:]
Life, Life
Past the clouds
You don't have to come down
Life, Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
[Larry:]
You might get angry some times
But don't let it turn you around
All you gotta do
Is get your livin' down
Life, Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
[Sly:]
You might be scared of somethin' - look at Mr. Stewart!
He's the only person he has to fear
He'd only let himself get near
He don't trust nobody
If he stopped bein' so shady
He could have a nice young lady
Life, Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
[Freddie:]
You're gonna be sad sometime
You might wake up to find your pet is gone
But maybe
He's tired of bein' alone
Dog gets hip, it has to go
If you're lovin' you can't be sad no more
Life, Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
Yes; I don't think it's 'past the clouds'....possibly 'clouds and clowns?'
@@TheClemcaster Lions and clowns :) Like what u get in a circus :)
@@sellison9070 I know what takes place in a circus; what has that to do with the lyrics in the chorus?
@@TheClemcaster CONTRAST it's all throughout the song. Die/live Fear/No fear Sadness/Joy Shadiness/Niceness... it's about choice: Do u wanna be a Lion or a clown? :) "the most important decision a person can make, is whether they BELIEVE they live in a friendly, or hostile Universe" -Einstein. :)

I've loved Sly since the 60s but I sure didn't need to see a dang ad for Stacey Abrams with this video. Remember when Utube was a actually a good platform and had ZERO ads? Geesh...
oui Mister..!
epic
KILLER !
Dog gets hip and has to go gem the one and only SLY
The beginning of this song is on the wiz movie snd it's spooky
Death at a Funeral (2010) brought me here.
Nice intro.
Sly with a moustache and Rose looking like she could be Mary J. Blige's Mom. What's not to dig? Peace.
Sly stopped the mustache because people kept telling him that he looked like Jimi.
( even though I never thought so)
@@briancompton2543 And what"s so bad about looking like Jimi ?
Damn you know what I just now noticed that wow and I've seen this video before but never noticed that he had a mustache LOL
kewl!!!
This is so great. Drugs are so bad.
wie geil
The Song dope. 🔥 But the intro & horns sound like a circus or carnival or something. Lol I like it tho Lol
2020 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Is it me, or does Freddie Stone and Sly Stone look alike???
They looked just alike
They’re brothers😂😂
@@MichaelMack908 of course, im just fascinated
Sly was a genius. Shame he ruined it with the drugs.
I really wish you folks would stop with the flashing words and banners across the screen when I'm trying to watch a performance. Can't you wait to put it ask in at the end?? Geez
i’m sorry but are they seeing clouds and clowns or lions and clowns? or past the clouds?

So beautiful, drugs don’t make anything better.
I am white, live in Sweden, 68 now, but remember how I as a teenager really enjoyed this song - and other soul music - and still do! And now this video! Thank you!! 🙏💯🎶🎵
HIP!!! :)
