#SlyAndTheFamilyStone was an American band from San Francisco. Active from 1966 to 1983, it was pivotal in the development of #funk, #soul, rock, and psychedelic music. Its core line-up was led by singer-songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and included Stone's brother and singer/guitarist Freddie Stone, sister and singer/keyboardist Rose Stone, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Greg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and bassist Larry Graham. It was the first major American rock group to have a racially integrated, male and female lineup.
Formed in 1966, the group's music synthesized a variety of disparate musical genres to help pioneer the emerging "psychedelic soul" sound. They released a series of Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits such as "Dance to the Music" (1968), "Everyday People" (1968), and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" (1969), as well as critically acclaimed albums such as Stand! (1969), which combined pop sensibility with social commentary. In the 1970s, it transitioned into a darker and less commercial funk sound on releases such as There's a Riot Goin' On (1971) and Fresh (1973), proving as influential as their early work. By 1975, drug problems and interpersonal clashes led to dissolution, though Sly continued to record and tour with a new rotating lineup under the name "Sly and the Family Stone" until drug problems forced his effective retirement in 1987.
The work of Sly and the Family Stone greatly influenced the sound of subsequent American funk, pop, soul, R&B, and hip hop music. Music critic Joel Selvin wrote, "there are two types of black music: black music before Sly Stone, and black music after Sly Stone". In 2010, they were ranked 43rd in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and three of their albums are included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire always mentioned Sly Stone as being his biggest inspiration and patterned his sound after him
Prince was also inspired by Sly ! ❤

I had at least 5 of their albums
Hey sky you doing fine. You've come this far don't stop now.
God bless you all 🙏✝️
Things were different back then we all loved and spot great musicians. It's different today.
We were all old school and it was the best gen
🕊️✌️☮️
Peace and love that's what it was all about.
@@johnbenjamin2703 I see
One of the greatest bands ever. It makes me incredibly happy to know that Sly Stone recently got clean and seems to be doing well
Oh man! That is so great to hear. Thanks for the update?!
Really? Great to hear that & I hope he takes life one day at a time. Recovery is possible.
We all miss this kind of music.....please bring it back. Real musicians, real talent, pure genius at work.
I agree with ya, but bands/groups like this, name 5 now, not to mention that changed the game much less, Give Sly Stone his 🌸 ?
In the Fall of 1967, I was a freshman at UC Berkeley. Sly was still living in his hometown, Vallejo, CA,. He had a Saturday afternoon radio show at the SF Bay Area station KDIA. I tuned in each Saturday. He released the single of Dance to the Music while he was working there. I was listening the very Saturday he announced his last show; due to the overwhelming success of Dance to the Music, he'd be going on tour. I was crushed that he wouldn't be doing the show, the very pinnacle of my Saturday afternoons, but thrilled for the band's success. So, I loved Sly Stone long before he blew up. I listened to every Sly Stone album I had every single day, and imagined the band playing those songs, L-I-V-E, with me in the audience straight grooving.
WOW! I'LL BET THAT EXPERIENCE WAS SOOO THRILLING! WOW!
$ang 🎶 dance to the music 🎶
Oooo boo Cynthia#
Ride Sally ride 🎶🙋
Sly ... 🎶
Damn I miss this kind of music. 🙏🏼
Good thing we have recordings of the old stuff because, as the cliche goes, they just don't make 'em like they used to, Tony, and you know that, too. This is music from a bygone era, but I never stop listening to this old stuff. Guess I'm old (63)!!
321snoot ...I’m 62 so yea, I hear ya.
Oh my GOD just when I thought Sly wasn't there! Sly comes outta no where! It just felt so good too see Mr .Sly Stone the slickest of all the slickest on the world most incredible lyricist, musician, vocalist, just a beautiful human being. I just honestly love that man!
Katy I am one of the millions who gets it like you do.
At least in your mind if you want to be! Stand!
You know Boosie Collins stole Sly's Style and finesse!!
That is why they call him Sly,
@@JodyBreezethc He didn't steal, maybe copied, cause Sly still got it.
One of the greatest bands ever. Sly had a message and he delivered it loud and clear. We need it back right now.
Stand is one the greatest songs ever....
"and a giant beside him about to fall 🎶"
Stan is great Stan is a greatest song but yet it is it the only time you got to stand against what keeps me from being yourself once you be yourself you staying again
Have you stand against opposition discount Donnie may you can be used to stand against lucky you from me and you stand his baby son you staying at the bu that is the greatest song cuz you can't be nothing but you
@@tyronemiddleton553 Tyrone slow down and say what you trying to say slow down cuz my little brother's name is Tyrone just take a nice woosah then say what you trying to say,...... relax nbs
I am being sincere.
@@tyronemiddleton553 💥✌🏾
My mom went to school with Sylvester at Vallejo high! She always says she knew a legend!🙏💜
@Redjam Redjam 707😎🙏
Its a beautiful thing watching Sly's niece Lisa look at him while hes singing with tremendous love, pride and admiration what a huge treat this is to anyone who grew uo with this message of love as a part of sound track to their life.
💞🌹🎶🎵🎶🌹💞
Thank you Cynthia for all those years!!! RIP Angel with a Trumpet !!!!!
well said Michael
I love how she still belts it like it's 1969, so awesome.
Cynthia was so beautiful and loyal.I love her and celebrate her memory often.Talk about a cool chick ! When she said "All the squares go home" nobody was leaving a show like that but all the squares got hipper that night for sure.
Oh no,Cynthia passed?...wow...rest in rhythm sis.
My first celebrity crush was Cynthia.
Oh my God! I didn’t know this existed until today. I’m so happy to hear you again Sly.
Wasnt it a thrill,I thought Roses daughter did amazing and Cynthia just thrilled any crowd with her playing chops and screaming chops.
I know my hearts in my throat, tears in my eyes. Real MUSIC, you feel, you sing, you move, it's Sly and the Family Stone. So GREAT to see them again. 💞✌️🎶🔥
MAN ITS AMAZING TO SEE HERE SLY
HE OUTLIVED JAMES BROWN (RIP)
MICHAEL JACKSON (RIP)
PRINCE. (RIP)
AND SLY WENT THROUGH THE
SUBSTANCE ABUSE TRIP FOR OVER
40 YEARS AGO...HE SLY IS SO BLESSED
TRULY YOU ARE SLY!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW WOWOW
Ride Sally ride
Sessions ... Family affair 🎶
Bravo to the mixer!
Everybody on stage is just killing it.
Some of the best music of the '70s came from these guys.
I had no TV until I was 4, 5 yr s old
I was gifted a record player at age 5 by my neighbor. A suitcase record player.
It was 1969 ish. My Dad played all genres of music all the time.
Music was our house. I wanted Sly and the Family Stone Music for Christmas.
He got me the Album. Fast Forward, Me age 15. Prince entered my Ear.
He I follow to this day even so he was taken from us. To know that Sly and the Family were his inspiration it all fits, it's not a puzzle, it's real. The amount of joy can't be measured, all I have is gratitude - I thank you.
❤
I knew some people that were at the Woodstock concert and they all said without any doubt Sly and the band blew everyone away
so did Hendrix !!!
Hendrix followed, being billed top..they left him a hard way to go, ha-ha!
He’s old but he’s still in there!!!!! He looks so genuinely happy to be onstage....what a gift!!!! From way out here my man, you are still loved. 🤟🤓
Sly had lost none of his range by this point.
Hes old an so am I...still smoking and this was awhile ago but I love him🕶💽🎤
the band will forever be an icon. RIP Cynthia Robinson
I was so happy to Sista Rose in Elton Johns Band a few years back in Las Vegas. What a Class Act Elton John is for giving her some work. He did not need to do that. That's respect.
I pray she knew the Lord , so many of them don’t, Only god knows for sure….✅🙏
@@howardmanley3388 I believe she did. Many of us was raised in the church. Aint nobody going to hell. This is hell quiet as its kept!
@@howardmanley3388 I hope she didn't.
Oh my Cynthia! Didn't know that she has gone yonder! Rest in Musica!
I was a white kid in midwestern suburbia in the late ‘60’s, early ‘70’s. Sly and the Family Stone made life bearable for me. It is so beautiful to hear and see this music still played! This music has always brought me hope when I felt the most hopeless.
I feel ya on that
Me too
My same experience. And Motown saved my life!
@@hermesalonso3968I was that kid also, growing up in the inner city
Where it all started THANK YOU SLY FUNK FOREVER
amen
Cynthia Robinson R.I.P.
I was lucky in Summer of 1967 to see this band play after hours (2-6am) in a funky club in San Mateo, CA, just a few months before they hit it big. My musician friends and I were literally blown away. They played for four hours straight! There were bar fights and even a short power outage, but nothing stopped this band. Definitely destined for greatness!
Excellent! 👍👏
Yes I saw them at Frenchies in Hayward and danced my ass off at about that same time!!!! So lucky
What club in San Mateo I might have been there
great story, dude. Thanks for sharing.
@@groksr It was called Easy Street, then The Fireside (or maybe vice-versa...) I hope you were there!
Sly was still sounding good. The whole band was sounding great. I didn't know they were still performing as a band by this point. Sly is an absolute legend. So awesome. Sly is one of the founding fathers of funk.
One of the founding fathers?!?!. He IS the founding father.
@@chrishepburn1503 Haha. No doubt man. I'm good with that.
In the mid 2000s Sly made a coupla few appearances... positive the live show in Tokyo was a big payday. Around the same time, you might still find a few gigs on the tube in which Sly was sitting in with George and the P-Funk crew.
@@chrishepburn1503 Nah. The funk was being created before Sly was doing his thing but he certainly helped to help to shape it into what it eventually became.
@@PAPAROBBIE By who then?. The only other artist would be James Brown but it wasn't funk like Sly. His had elements of funk but Sly took to the next level.
Sly's music is part of the soundtrack of my life and so glad about it
This is fantastic. Cynthia's voice was in fine form. Sly and the Family Stone did some of my favorite music of that time (or any time).
I haver never seen this concert before. But it sure was good to see Sly perform again. And Rose Stone sure can sing good
GOD bless this loving man of GOD. He never seen a color of a persons skin. His tone could set the world loving each other. Remember listening from 60'. 1 st class act man and person. Ms Cynthia rest in GOD' hands, Loved you.
Cynthia still playing the trumpet and shouting out.. go girl ..R.I.P
😔
That's what I was saying. She's the innovator during that time. A woman playing a trumpet. Out of sight 🤣🤣🤣😊😊👍
She was such a BOSS. Hardly ever missed a note back in day, she was so good. With only one trumpet, ain't no place to hide either.
They're so good! 50 yrs later I still love these songs 😍 Sly's neice Lisa, is a great singer. Love all of them.
When I first heard Dance To The Music in the 7th Grade I went nuts like EveryOne else. I was 13.
I'm 68 now, still loving this, and still a Performing Musician mySelf.
Rock on.
I was 12 years old. White girl in a white world BUT thanks to my mom and her search for something groovier, i found Sly! And I've never been the same. Dig it!
You got it in your blood , that's thicker than da mud ❤🎉
I love that little girl!!!
It's a family affair 🇺🇸 🌎
We Americans had such a great musical advantage with the incredible gift of Black music. Blues, Jazz, Gospel, R&B.
an' We can dig it!🙋
I'm PROUD to say I saw Sly & The Family Stone in 1968 at the Miami High Lye Fron Ton .These Cats know how to Get Down, they have Funk , Rock , & mostly Soul like nobody's business. At that time in the music business nobody gave you this kind thrill. These guys delivered a show that is definitely impressed in my memory. Today if you were to go see a show like the one I saw in 1968 ...well let's just say that it would cost you a whole weeks pay. I believe it only cost me twenty bucks, BAMM that's what I'm talking about. Thank You Sly and the Family Stone for the big Dose of Funk & Soul in 1968. God bless you all. Peace to all everywhere.
I WAS THERE TOO!!!! BEST CONCERT EVER!! THE WALLS OF THE JAI ALAI FRONTON WERE LITERALLY SHAKING!! Sly was an hour late coming on 'cos he was backstage doing blow - LOL!
@@cripbabe111 Ya it was good that's for sure. I took my girlfriend there and we had a great time. Joints were being passed around, someone close to us brought a bottle of Boonsfarm wine inside and started passing it around. The whole place was just full of joy and togetherness, it was a night I will always have with me. Thanks for sharing this with me Jacquie. Peace
@@kevinkane2162 So happy to see your post, man! :)
@@kevinkane2162 And Kevin, it didn't cost $20, I remember it as $9 or $10 - which was still a pretty pricey ticket back in '69!!
@@cripbabe111 ya you know I think I have the year wrong to. I think it might have been 1970 ! The year after they played at Woodstock , but even so it didn't cost what it would cost now rite. It sure was nice growing up at that time wasn't it ? All that wonderful music coming out of England & California sure made living more enjoyable don't you think. Talk to ya later. Peace
Bands like Sly & Company sang about *UNITY.* Among races.. cultures, styles of existing. Listening to their concert and feel like you've left a good preaching service. *Good for the soul.* Sadly.. bands like this are things of the past. UNLESS--- someone steps up and decides to make it cool again. Wish they would. Black music of the 50's-60's & 70's.. I loved. Even prior.. of course, the Jazz players. I am at least glad to see Sly perform here. Last I saw Sly, he was living in a small trailer and could barely speak. Seems he has pulled himself up.. with lots of help. God Bless The Sly.
America didnt appreciate it anyways. And STILL doesn't.
Sly was about brotherhood!! And his music is great!!! Too little Slys in the world
@@vivaldi1954
You can't really duplicate Sly... he is, after all, a one of a kind. But yeah... more people who can speak of true unity instead of sowing what ever it is people are sowing that results in racial tension and division.
That's a dope ass story Missy!
His background was in the church. I can see now coming from a Pentecostal church. Back then I just jammed today I jam harder because it is a holy convocation!!!
Was on FIRE at Woodstock! 💖👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Attendees say the entire hill was actually moving!
These everyday people made this feel like a family affair. They made me stand and dance to the music while they sang a simple song. They took me higher and I wanted them to stay.
If you want me to stay then play it again.
That bass player very funky, Larry Graham would be proud. Glad to see Sly and Family Stone still doing it big!
The last I heard, Sky no longer tours with the band so it is now "The Family Stone". They may still have a web site.
Yo yo yo
That brother on bass is Pete Yates, thats his brother on guitar. I bought a sire mm from pete a couple years ago. Sly is from my hometown, Vallejo ca. he and his siblings went to school with my parents. Vallejo produced some talented musicians. To name a few, confunkshun, E-40 and many more. Btw been subscribed to your channel for awhile, I enjoy your videos.
@@mr.funnybone734 Beautiful history, Thanks for sharing!
Sly and the Family Stone are one of the GREATEST bands ever. This brings me back to my childhood in the 60's. Their music never gets old. I love them!!!!!!!!!
33p
Hell Yea !!!!!!
my exact sentiments. those were the days
Uncle sly please take care of your health. Jah bless.
How did it take me 5 years to find this gem??!! I had no idea they did this tour! To See Sly with that SMILE on his face on Family Affair-God Bless The Genius! Agreed one the Greatest bands ever...
This band is killin’ Sly and the Family Stone not the original band but man they be paying homage on the highest level they are in the pocket 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽Sly Stone a true master and pioneer ❤️
the girls are fabulous. instrumentation and modern equipment raised the level of performance. sly style is a legend.
My, my, my!!! Sly has maintained his amazing music gift; talent and voice!!! By far one of their best performances ever. Lisa please assist with getting your uncle out of that RV. SANG SLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's happy. He has to be himself.
Sly is back living in a house. He's still reclusive though at 80 yrs old. He completed his memoir and I think QuestLove will do great things with it.
Considering all Sly has been through he’s still impressive. He was always my favorite!!!
I've not seen this before. Very hard to watch. A superstar addict in plain sight. So sad. I was in a band in the 70's we opened for Sly in San Jose,Ca. He was two hours late and could not play. Totally smashed and incoherent. Surprised he is still alive. As a recovering alcoholic. I know the dance. God Bless him and care for him. Incredible band.
Please take care of yourself Sly.. Much love ❤️
Sly told me I was a star, not that I was thou but in my heart I knew what he was saying,, just STAND,,, and feel good about yourself,,, I was 15 years young I think,,, but we all a star,,,,if u taking care of ur family,,, no stage needed,,
One of the greatest bands of ANY era & crossed over into so many genre. Sly was WAY ahead of his time. I saw him on Shindig in 66.
The way they replicated this absolute monster hit is incredible; so faithful to the original, and then some !
Yup I heard every hook landed, and with reverbs as well - that's vital - and now we have perspective, were there ever bigger hooks on the radio? Minus those lovely Beatles how many number 1s might Sly & others have had? Do believe he or James Brown woulda got there - for what it's worth
It is very close to the original recording 50 years later. Unbelievable.
Which monster hit are you referring to ?
SFS ! One of the most influential bands ever ! Just couldn't get enough !!
I saw them at the West Palm Beach Festival in 1970. They were Absolutely Amazing.
This brings back so many memories of my youth, when life was carefree and simple. Thanks for posting.
See what happens when you write tunes like Dance To The Music and Wanna Take You Higher with skill and talent…the songs NEVER GROW OLD!!! We are STILL jumping up and dancing when these classics are played!!! Man!!! This sounds beyond great!!!
Sly still had a beautiful voice this voice. Thank God he won the lawsuit from those who defrauded him.
This band is still GREAT!!!! Sly and Family's older but still got the magic!!! The mostly Japanese audience was highly kind and supportive! A Beautiful Thang!!! That's what music's all about. Everyone can love share and enjoy it in the same room, no matter the culture. It brings people together in a good way!
Great concert ! One of the most underrated groups. Not forgotten !
Not by anyone who knows what's what in the least they weren't. Jeff, I am 59 first time I jumped around like crazy was to "Music Lover" my parents were playing it in 1969. Last night my wife and my kids and I were jumping and dancing to it 53 years later (by the way it gets better with Sly and time) I think they are recognized as one of the greatest. Where I think they got slighted was their individual talent. Larry was acknowledged and of course, deserved it. Sly changed everything. But I feel Freddy played wonderfully smooth and Errico had beyond blue-eyed soul in his funky amazing playing. Cynth. and Jerry was like having 12 horns, especially when a trombone sat in with them. To me, it gets no better than this band from about 66-71, lot of great music in those years, and some changed things for the better Silvester Srewarts words and music changed everything and always for the better.We need to celebrate his genius more while we still have him here,wether he wants us to or not! Thanks for the love Family Stone.
The man is a Survivor! (RIP Cynthia) Nice to see some of the other members still active.
Been through hell and now your back again. Sly, we love ya.
This brought tears to my eyes much love!
Brought tears to my eyes too❤
yeh me too ..there was so much feeling of love for Sly and it hurts to see him not in good health , but his words are strong and and healing
Yup. Still tearing. Tears of joy.
White chick in a Black world from Pop to Hip Hop-1976-1986. Told my family God put this black sheep here to open their minds!! Sly led the way for many with his funky groove.
Love the Family forever!!🎸🎤
An amazing concert .This man was a source of inspiration for a whole generation.Included for a giant like Prince.The family affair’s version is incredible.
I was two years old when Sly and da Family Stone came out I believe in 1966 my mom and dad played Family Affair so much because in those days there were actually family’s..I love all of the Stone Family and Band Family music🎧 “purE jewelS💎✨💫
This music make you want to STOP and go back in time and forget your troubles and and mellow out thank you for this post Sly Stone has been down as far as you can go but can still belt it out with class and integrity LOVE SLY STONE and the family ❤️❤️❤️🎸✌️✊
100, not like today's ???
Are you all in the Music 🎶 Hall of Frame
Love ,love love. As a white woman , I grew up listening to all the great black artists.Listening to Sly again is wonderful.
Why do people have to say how old they are or what race they are? White people around the world loved Sly Stone and he was especially received in his own country - Sly was like Jimi Hendrix but funky. If you were alive during the period Sly was famous, you should already know those facts.
Rose looks great and Sly has not lost that voice. I remember Sly with that big afro.
this was ten years ago.
I know. Let me do this correct. Rose "looked" great................... Sorry Denis.
I also know which one is Rose, not her daughter, though she looks just like Rose.
don't be ,,sorry,, JOIN US ON FACE IN SLY AND FAMILY STONE NATION(we are about 7000 souls at the moment)
I'm good, I just though Rose looks great and Sly sounded good. That's all.
My life story luv you Sly! rip to eternity Cynthia
Rest in peace Cynthia
I miss the scatting that used to be in the music in the 60s and 70s. Was awesome to hear that on family affair.
Great to see Sly performing !!
I’m thinking they found some homeless dude to pretend to play and sing
T
Seen Family Stone Foxwoods casino. They played FAMILY AFAIR. The audience went silent they took the whole room to another level. It was great
Sly is a treasure and a genius akin to Mozart, if you are able, please tour and share your God-given gift. We need you now Sylvester, your music brought healing, please sir while there is still time.....PLEASE!!!
Black mmizart came to my eyes in don krinshners rock concert in 1974.
How is he a genius when hasn’t created any new music in 50 years. I’m sorry but I think he’s an overrated oldies act.

Good to see you again Sly
This has me in tears. Sly is an all-time 🐐, forever.
Sly is great! The ladies can sing.👍💯
Goosebumps. Sly still remains in the Olympus of the Afro American gods
He's the baddest.
To hell with the "African American" gods or any other ethnic variation of deity, Sly is one of the greatest musical Olympians period.
From my childhood to now 61, sly, cynthia, rose, jerry and all the family will always be at the top of my catalogue!!!
You too mr. Graham!
This is incredible footage. As he sang, you could see Sly re-discover the love and passion he has for these songs. That passion may have gone dormant with the years of wear and tear, but it never left him - music is in his veins.
At one point, looked as if he was reading the lyrics - when they were singing Family Affair.😀 Oh, he IS reading lyrics - caught him for sure when they were performing STAND. He even lost his place and couldn't get the lyrics out on the beat.
Why are those gorgeous ladies so shy at the beginning??
They are ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!!!
🌹🌹🌹
Sly nailed it. I love him, my hero, my icon!
My dad.
Rest In Beats, Cynthia Robinson.
Omg!!! Incredibly old beautiful. God bless us as we had the opportunity to experience these beautiful musicians 💖💗💕💞
Wow these guys and girls are my youth.I remember them on the Ed Sullivan Show, dang here Forty ( 40 ) years later !! GOD Bless
Sly was The First One of His Kind. James Brown was an Uncut Funky Heavy Weight! But Sly Stone in my opinion was the Founder and Master of The Funk Rock Pop Band! Underrated in the Books Of Music!.......Very Original! Graham Central Station came close to the recreation!!
No argument, but give the Meters a listen. They invented "Creole Funk" and brought it right up from Congo Square in New Orleans. If you haven't heard them, I think you'll like them.
But Sly is a very special genius, will always be one of my all time favorites.
@@1blastman I am a True To Form Funk Prophet. Very familiar with ''The Meters''. Great Band, but can't compare at all....
@@rexxgarvin5313 My dream three band set would be the Meters opening, Little Feat with Lowell George next and then Sly would close it out. Each band could set their playing time and the show would go about six to eight hours.
Now that's Funk Heaven!!!
@@rexxgarvin5313 I encourage you to come down to New Orleans, stay in the Treme section of town, and you will see more funk in one city block than most cities have in their whole urban sprawl.
Does any city sponser a "Funkfest"? New Orleans has Jazzfest which comes close, but a pure "Funkfest" would be a lot of fun.
@@1blastman I will! You got me curious....Thanks!
The amount of joy and instruction Sly Stone brought to the world ,music and humanity should not be dismissed he’s a badass thank you sir
❤
Sly Stone's band still has the funk. I'm at work with my earbuds in jamming and I can't wait to get home so I can jam with the band on my Yamaha 7pcs drumset.
Real People, Living Real Lives, Playing some Real-Soulful Music in TRUTH,...What more could anyone ask for in this Life???...THANK The LORD for THE FAMILY STONE,....and of course,...MR. SYLVESTER STEWART!!!!,....GOD BLESS THEM< Always!!!
Thank you so much!!! Awesome!!! Sly’s music is eternal!!! A genius!
This song is one timeless TKO of Funk and Fusion. Knocks me out every time. How do you sit still through this. No wsy. DANCE TO THE MUSIC!!!!!!!
My love for these songs, this band and Sylvester Stewart as a composer can not be expressed in words! 💕💕💕💕

Wow! Didn’t know Sly was performing again. So good to see this. And the Family Stone sounded great.
Great Concert! Started to get all emotional and eyes welled up at "Family Affair" . Always had a love for Sly & The family Stone. I'm 70 yrs. young or at least they made me feel that way. I could feel the love from the fans too.
Me too, I cried there too. You don’t see a miracle every day.
My Hero, Sly Stone. Big part of my life having fun.
Stand!
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand!
There's a midget standing tall
And a giant beside him about to fall...
Some of the best rock/R&B lyrics ever written!
Went to Hayward High with Larry Graham 1965-1966. He would come to school wearing a tuxedo, spats, top hat and a cane; me and my bros where surfers so Larry wouldn't even give us the time of day but he knew we were cool because we (at that time we were under 21) used to sneak into a nightclub named Frenchy's where Sly and the Family Stone played early gigs. After Larry graduated the band became huge and we would go see them in San Francisco at Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium.
A even better story was when, by coincidence, I was Sly's gardener in 1975.........…..

tom costa absolutely!
Damn right, with his charismatic humble nature throughout his music career. Even when he had it all, everything, he was so kind, gentle, righteous, down to earth & kinda shy yet always solid, keeping it real, hope, pray they take care of him now💖💯10th%🙌
@@spidermonkey1569 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there’re some artists whose autobiographies tell quite a different story. The toots didn’t help, that’s for sure.
Lisa Stone....you are awesome....Good luck with sir elton....i am your huge fan....im your whole families fan life long
