Music brings us all together! Screw this new world that wants us to hate each other. I’m a 68 year old man that loves music! Thank you for letting me be myself!
I’m 62 now. Listened to this album every weekend! They had it all. Instruments, singing, dancing and no one saw the color of our skin. 😊 One of the Best bands in the 70’s!
@@tamaramadison7563 Music was good but You didn't see the whole picture! just a small slice of performers. Black ghettos were suffering from influx of drugs, Vietnam vets suffering PTSD on drugs with no unemployment was 12%, earning for Blacks were 50% of whites. police brutality was rampant.
i saw sly at madison square garden back in 1972 i think it was. i was about 12, but i knew the smell of marijuana that filled the air that night along with fantastic music. this band was TIGHT! i won't be the first or last to say it, but they just don't make music like this anymore. sly was a true innovator. here's to us old-heads, and the younguns that appreciate OUR music.
You got to love the 1970s. Instruments played with passion no time constraints on songs artist free to explore themes and ideas. I miss that music and there's so many good bands from the '70s
Am 70, 💕 loved funk, 🥰 still do..One of my faves along with Commodores, Kool & the Gang, Ohio Players, etc back when songs were listenable..Loved music to dance to, listen to, apply to times in life..Don't care for MOST Newer music
The greatest interracial band of all time....... straight up musical genius..... and the Stewart family......Slyvester Freddie and Rose....... the collective pride of Vallejo California
In the 70s we sang about love, being kind, hardships and broken hearts. Today they sing about hating everything and killing and beating up your momma. Times have changed
I am 72 been to tons of concerts...including Isle of Wight where I saw Hendrix along with all others great one....but SLY you are my man....rock us best concert anywhere....rock on
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day…Stay Safe!
Sly Stone was first and foremost a musician. He had the ability to assemble some of the greatest musical talent into one band. Sly refined the funk and R&Bof that Era. Love his songs 🎶 🎤 🎹 🎸 🎺 🎷🥁 ♥
Even reading the phrase "funk violin" is in itself so beyond cool it's ridiculous. (To even get the brilliant idea of an electric violin with wah wah. Crazy cool.)
what was the name of that band he was in? they had this song called i scare myself when i'm with out you? anyways straight up virtuoso....... dan hicks and his hot licks....sorry
Gospel vocals, psychedelic sounds, interracial band, a female on horns and unrelenting funk-Sly and The Family Stone helped to eliminate all the borders on popular music.
I had the privilege of living through this magical era. We lived in a diverse neighborhood and I got to see people wearing these fashionable duds, and cruising in their shiny land yachts... Cadillacs, Buicks, Oldsmobiles were among the most popular... I loved the Electra 225. Fond memories they were, and I'm aging gracefully 😎🤙
Riding in the back of my fathers 71 Impala, Sly's greatest hit blasting from the 8-track. People can make fun of past trends and fashions but they can't touch the memories. I hope everyone on some level can feel what i still feel to this day.
The old 8 track, my dad had one in a '72 ford galaxie 500. He would let my brother and I listen to mountain and Alice cooper, no sly stone tape but we would listen to them on the radio.👍✌
When I hear songs like this I also think of riding in the back of my father’s car while he and my mother smoke a cigarette each with the windows up !😂Great memories of the music from the 70’s and great fashion from the artists who could play instruments
I remember when this song came out. Sly & the Family Stone...they just had a gift bringing rock and soul together making it funkadelic! I've been playing bass 50+ years. This was the kind of stuff that brought us all together where we truly appreciated our ethnic differences and indifferences...a brotherhood to be proud of. Yeah Sly Stone showed us how and it felt good. Wish you all could've been there to live it.
Sly & The Family, Don Cornelius & Soul Train were all unprecedented & ahead of their time. What contributions they left behind. Even Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation layered this into her song. Mad Respect & RIP, Mr Cornelius.
@georgeinfante1106 Same here from Philadelphia so many memories even though I was born in the 80's but I listened to alot of 70's music from parents 😊
Yet, another dude in his 60s loving this music and presentation. 64 years and still kicking and listening to great music like this. Love that the band is full of black and white folks. ;)
This show was awesome! From Don Cornealious, the dancers and musicians. I grew up in a small town with no diversità. My entire family watched this and could not get enough. I'm pretty sure that is why we could out dance any one at a wedding reception. I could listen to this live version of thank you over and over....
Somebody done moved the pocket sonny. Can't find it, can't feel it no mo. from deez younguns. Sly's boy got my head and booty boppin moving shaking from beat one. Greb? I'm getting nothing from him, Fancy, light nice touch. But the deep groove that picks you up out you chair and MAKES you dance? nah. @@ericsisneros6117
Totally true. People who moan about music today not being as 'good' or today's singers not being up to the old standards just ain't listening. There's a shitload of amazing songwriters, musicians, singers today, in a wide variety of genres. If you're not hearing all that, it's all on you, because you ain't even trying @@ericsisneros6117
This track changed everything, Larry Graham and his thumb playing bass is the essence of FUNK! To see these musicians play the Funk back when music was music is just great.
Yep… Rusty Allen took a lot from him though… I want to say that the sly tried to have Larry killed in later years… So the story goes he jumped out a window and got away
They do make good music today, it’s just different. But Sly and the Family Stone are one of a kind. No one else should try to be them because we already have them. It’s okay to like one kind of music without criticizing others. But people say that a lot. So, I’m telling you that you probably sound like your parents lol. I made a vow to try not to say it. Music goes in ens and flows so who knows. I once turned on the radio and it was a really good sounding singer saying she’s going to break all the windows…. I got frustrated and put p!nk back on lol
I’m tired of people saying that because it’s not true in that there’s not really another Sly Stone. There’s not another Beatles or Michael Jackson. That’s okay because we will always have it. But to say there’s no good music today simply isn’t true. Maybe you need to look for it. I know way more about music than most people. I’m actually writing a book about it. 1950 thru today
i am a 74 year old man who saw them open for Jimi Hendrix at the Fillmore East . They looked like they were actually singing back then and I was drinking Robotussin.
I loved all those early concerts. Nothing like it. It was the music + the times. If lucky you saw some greats just before they exploded in small venues.
Wow!!!! Beautiful, and very talented young lady! Steven is obviously a grateful dad, I know Bob is all in her, his spirit just like its in her Dad!!!!!!!Marley 💯
Dude u gotta do your research women have been playing as u say non traditional instruments since the beginning sister Rosetta Tharp is one greatest guitar players of all-time and their are others years before this
@@anthonytaylor7928 Then you agree they're non traditional instruments. 🤔Relax. Be cool like Sly. Never said it was the first time. I enjoyed the combination purposefully put together for the time of the 60s consciousness by Sly that YOU may be unaware of. Just enjoy the groove brother
@@kingdoc3262 oh I'm very aware of his music and everything else about him trust me on that and im very relaxed dude I'm just interpretating your comment
Whoah.... I was listening to Prince tonight.... Definitely influenced. Absolutely please if you can..play this for your kids..They might never get a chance to hear truly AMAZING music.
Don't discount the talent that can play may instruments and master the latest tech, sequencers and such, amazing stuff, some real talent. But absolutely, the talent and vibe of the late 60s to late 70s may never be seen again, latest gen can't see it, rest of us are half dead or actually dead.
BLACK,WHITE,MEN WOMEN,REAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM THE SAME MOTHER AND FATHER.WHAT A GREAT BAND THESE GUYS AND GIRLS WERE BACK IN THE LATE 60'S INTO THE EARLY 70'S.
I didn't discover Sly until 1973 after my discharge from the Army. If I'd seen & heard this in 1969-70 how different things would be! I am THANKFUL for today because I am able to "be myself again again & again!

Sly and the family stone played McNeil Island, Washington Federal penitentiary. I was fortunate enough to get the black and white photos with my dad on stage playing tenor sax with sly Stone. I’ve got those photos on my wall. I listen to slide all the time he’s my boy.
I remember this! I was so scared that someone would take him away! This was enthralling for me. Listening to the different instruments combined together to form a truly unique sound. Understated. Perfect. Whole song is definitive.

Thank you Sly and the family. The Creator is in your “Soul” music
Oh man! I would wait for Soul Train every week!! All the great dancing and all the fabulous live music! Such ad Sly and the Family Stone here!
Loved watching Soul Train growing up in the 70s. This is "The Good Old Days "
The greatest interracial band of all time....... straight up musical genius..... and the Stewart family......Slyvester Freddie and Rose....... the collective pride of Vallejo California
As much as I absolutely love Sly , KC and the Sunshine Band is right with them.
Thank you for saying that I agree I'm 65 and still love this and we need love,love,love all we need is more love...love will prevail
In the 70s we sang about love, being kind, hardships and broken hearts. Today they sing about hating everything and killing and beating up your momma. Times have changed
This is one of the Greatest Funk performance of all time SLY UNCUT
It's just a real sad shame what became of this such talented man in Sly Stone that it brings a tear to my eye to know what fame & fortune did to him.
I love this group! I sont know what happened to this group? Sly was very talented! I loved his music!;still listening today!! Love it!❤
I am 72 been to tons of concerts...including Isle of Wight where I saw Hendrix along with all others great one....but SLY you are my man....rock us best concert anywhere....rock on

Incandescent sunlight and love on soul train and American bandstand...Jools Holland WOW I'm in awe and 🙏 the good times and innocence prevail forever
I've never seen anyone do that with the violin before that's freaking incredible!

Check out the Mahavishnu Orchestra for more electric violin.
LMMFAO BEETHOVEN INVENTED IT LED ZEPPELIN STARTED IT BACK UP IN THE 60,S
who was that plying the electric violin?
Sid Page on violin. He was with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks.
Sly Stone was first and foremost a musician. He had the ability to assemble some of the greatest musical talent into one band. Sly refined the funk and R&Bof that Era. Love his songs 🎶 🎤 🎹 🎸 🎺 🎷🥁 ♥
And here I thought he was, first and foremost, a pastry chef.
@@thescrootHaha.. but he was a well-known DJ before his music career started, and that’s probably what the OP meant
The Prince of his day! ❤️❤️❤️
GOOD GAWD....PURE FUNK AND SOUL MUSIC. I HAD PRIVILEGE TO PLAY WITH HIM AT 12 YRS OLD. IT WAS UNREAL
The dude playing funk violin with a wah at 2:00 tripped me out so much. Never heard anything like it LOL. This is incredible.
Even reading the phrase "funk violin" is in itself so beyond cool it's ridiculous. (To even get the brilliant idea of an electric violin with wah wah. Crazy cool.)
Could that be David LaFlamme from the band It’s A Beautiful Day ????
@@paultorbert6929
His name is Sid Page.
what was the name of that band he was in? they had this song called i scare myself when i'm with out you? anyways straight up virtuoso.......

Mahavishnu Orchestra had some stuff like that.
Gospel vocals, psychedelic sounds, interracial band, a female on horns and unrelenting funk-Sly and The Family Stone helped to eliminate all the borders on popular music.
Yeah! It also has an afrobeat vibe at the beginning.
very well said!
Absolutely love to know these things. I appreciate it. Tysm❤
That’s about said it
In deed tiu just put it right there
Sly and family what a good music he create . It's a family affair
Of mankind
Like his song.

Yes indeed!
This appears to be an actual LIVE performance as opposed to a lot of stuff from TV shows that were dubbed back then.
Saturday as a kid was TV cartoons. American Bandstand. Soul Train. Roller Derby. Wrestling 🤼♂️. Miss those days
There's no way you bring all of that equipment to lip sync! They rocked the house like nobody else back then!

Everything that is great about this is sadly lacking from not just modern music, but life itself in 2023. Beautiful music and vibrations.
It is sad but I think youre spot on .
Although Vulfpeck aint doing a bad job ?
There's plenty of great music out there, and it's easier to find now than it ever has been. If you gave up, it's all on you.

This band is 100 % relevant in 2023 ......and for the foreseeable future....
Rose....always such a cutie and so full of soul! xox
Man , I thank God for Sly , he is the King of Funk and Soul! Love you brother! Benny
I remember this! I was so scared that someone would take him away! This was enthralling for me. Listening to the different instruments combined together to form a truly unique sound. Understated. Perfect.
Whole song is definitive.
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day…Stay Safe!
Someone would take him away? In what sense?
Wow.
What a privilege to have experienced and lived through the music of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s…and so on. Music is such a blessing, and an integral part of life.
Amazing performance
