- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2017
- The day before Thanksgiving 1974 (11/27/74), rounding out Sylvester Stewart's week as Special guest on The Mike Douglas Show. Muhammad Ali had been another guest with Sly earlier in the week.
I was there as a Mike Douglas Show producer... needless to say a rather unforgettable moment in my career.
Seems like sly couldn't keep it together . You being there at that time is cool. A moment in history. Why did Sly call for Frank? Who is Frank?
U would be dead
Very cool. Have you written a book yet? If you were a producer for Mike, you pry have enough to make a great book.
I bet the production company had to find a lot of coke for that rider 🤭😉
Mike Douglas was a pretty cool, relaxed and gracious host. Cats like Sly and Richard would not have bothered with his show if they didn't like him.
Mike was so great with the musicians of the day! It's remarkable.
I love seeing this decade...the 70s was the most amazing decade of American history in terms of fashion, culture, and music! No other American decade comes close
It WAS fun!
El look de Sly es BRUTAL!! Tremendo! ❤
the 60s
And 1970s film too. The '90s were pretty great too!
This is real and raw. Compare this to any current late night show. There is no comparison.
Talk Show: The Early Years. (I miss "Donahue.")
I can't believe I've never seen this! I am in tears. 😂😂😂
So glad you appreciate as much as I did :)
Can we just give it up for Sly's hair?
It was a very costumey tine. Men got to let out their inner peacocks!
It wasn't really "costumey" at that time, per se, was it? It seem more to be: do your own thing. Not do your own thing so people will look at you (as it is now). Or Do your own thing so you can talk about yourself and how brave you are to do your thing. It was do YOUR thing. Now that...is actually brave. Inner peacock or look at Ken Kesey--your inner rugby player--or whatever your thing. And it could change. And would. And didn't have to be named, labeled, cemented, or proclaimed. Now that...is actually fluid.
@@SusanDoran Appreciate your insight. Thank you.
....another oh, no, fro.
These two had great chemistry together.
Cocaine chemistry
Dec 2022 - Sly is still with us while the rest are gone. Loves me some Sly .
As soon as Richard mentioned Coke it conjured up Sly.
You crazy!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
I didn't catch that.But I did hear RICHARD PRYORr.i.p.Say to the Audience That SLY is such a Ladies Man The Wicked Witch of The West Gave SLY Her Shoes.😆 sorry I missed that misster sodomizer?Love& Peace 😁😎 luv ya byo eJ..misster sodomizer?is that a gay term?not dat anything's wrong with it.🏃
Lol ! Yea !
Two of my favorite entertaininers of all time. One of the greatest comedians ever. On stage with one of the most innovative musicians of funk.
Other than Jimi ~ 2 of the baddest black cats that have ever lived... PERIOD.
or...comma AND Muhammad Ali :D
Facts
Prince
There are a number of others that could be added to that
The baddest mama slama is Kanye....😊
Sly Stone was always stoned, but Richard knew how to hold it in the road. This was raw unadulterated, unrehearsed comedy at its best.
I think Mike was stoned too. Pun intended 😂
?? RP blew this whole little thing... he held nothing in the road. Sly did...
i dont know if the joke whooshed over me but Sly didnt like weed. he said so on Letterman.
Pryor was so quick witted he could find something humorous to say about any comment or situation.
In today's world he'd either not be famous or giving interviews about how he has used humor as a crutch for his mental health challenges, and the difficult hand of hardships he was dealt.
I watched Mike Douglas all the time when I was a kid. Mezmering to me then, never knew why, now I do.
@11:03, I got chills. That voice, and they were playing like it was rehearsal...thanks for this.
glad you appreciate it - it's amazing
Mike Douglas was the best! I did not know was so skinny. Richard was one of the greatest comedians ever!
I love Sly so much
me too
This was great! Sly just having fun, and Richard played on Sly's vibe to make it hilarious. 4:23 - 4:35 is a laugh out loud example. Mike Douglas was such a cool guy. He just let them be themselves and rolled with it. Many hosts would've gotten uptight.
Sly was talented af even high
"EVEN" high...? A lot of people are particularly talented WHEN high.
Sly weighed about 90 pounds with his afro.
Right! body of a 12 year old..Woza..All that Talent.God Bless him!
And i loved all of thosev90 pounds so much still do Sly is pretty funny in his own right.
With a 30 pound Afro...lol🤭
I kept on looking at his legs and I'm still not convinced those are actual human legs
David Bowie snow diet
They high as hell😂😂😂😂😂
I missed this episode of Mike Douglas back in the day. Thank you!
BEST INTERVIEW EVER
Sly is a good pianist and Richard is good on drums.
I never seen this show until now on 12-15-21 this was hilarious.Sly and Richard had great friendship like chemistry.Sly seems like a lay back kind of guy.Too bad both Sly and Richard are gone
@Robert Mcnealy - Sly is still alive and wellish!
@@SusanDoran Oh! I'll look it up
Sly is still alive
@@SusanDoran Please tell us that Sony finally paid him back royalties. Last I checked he was homeless and Sony was still making a mint off his albums. A judge did rule in his favor that Sony was to pay him I think $2M but I don't think they ever did. Apparently the law doesn't matter much these days.
@@robertmcnealy4897 what's to look up? Sly is here
Sly Stone is actually super funny 😄
yes, he actually is - like most incredibly smart and creative people 🙂
Sly seems like such a lovable dude. 8)
Without the Fro----Sly could walk through a harp.
Lol.
He still could: his 'fro would just look like Eraser Head. And he could pull that look off,any day. Man was smooth as wet silk.
LOL
Love it!
Funny!
This was too fun!!! I so love Sly. God Bless him Happy and Well always and bless Richard's soul with a dose of the laughter positive energies he always inspired!
😘
thanks for your comments -- I love Sly so much -- he & Richard Pryor are such artists
this is so wacked out,its great
High as a kite😭😭😂😂😂😂👌
Sly is the coolest cat to ever walk the earth, furthermore he is a bonafide genius
100% agree
Them Brothers been to the moon together!! Mike Douglas is like theses Nukkas are krazy!!
This is as funny now as it was back then! I'm dying. Dead. Done. Bless them!
I can tell the world that I knew mr. Paul Moody first met him in Oakland California Soul beat cable channel station on stage with Paul at the Black Repertory Theater in Berkeley California
Mike didn't even need to be there. Richard and Sly, two cool cats. This I enjoyed.
mike had them on so he deserves enormous credit.
Sly and Rich seemed like they could be brothers
Sly's hair weighs more than his body
Sly said I got something for you and Richard response was classic
One of the finest comics with one of the finest musicians, Combined with one of the top talk show hosts.... This was raw talent, Great Adler, nonscripted this is a time. Where' everything was spontaneous and people appreciated that.. Slice down was you still is? We're the best soul.
R&B performers I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot in person. These guys just flew me away. The sound went right through me. I was above 10 ft from floor speakers
Blacks really stood up for each others then and enjoyed one another..Those damn drugs
Two geniuses, musical and comedic, on the Mike Douglas Show on Jimi Hendrix' birthday(even though he had passed just over 4 years earlier).
Didn't notice that detail. He obviously had a huge influence on Sly and Jimi delved deep into genius funk on his Band Of Gypsies albums.
High as hell....🤣🤣🤣🤣
wherever sly's been for 48 years, i hope he's had fun.
Naturally funny right there
Remember my pops watching this and falling out.
All day long
Hilarious watching two guys flying off each other through happy powder
lol to happy
Brother, you hit the nail on the head. As funny as this is, this was two heavy and what appears to be, high drug users having a moment! It makes it even funnier for me.
Very high i always wanted to see someone high
that must have been one hell of an after party!
Happy powder? Oh cocaine
Ayo it's crazy how sly was letting Rich know he had the goodies in his pocket, Rich started making crazy moans.
Best Episode Ever!!!!!
Man I remember this so well just got home from Junior High school .Even though I was 14 then I knew these two brothers was high as a kite...lol The Mike Douglas always had a hip show. Damn can't believe it's 40 something year's ago.Time fly's.
Speaking of time flying----Happy New Year!
@@SusanDoran You to @SusanDora
I used to race home everyday from school to watch mike douglas, he was so cool and crossed all barriers. I love all music, all genders and all races, and Mike was of the like mind. My mom enjoyed his show as well. I saw him talk to missing persons the band, and he was asking them, what's this new music called? And the singer said new wave and he loved it, he was always so cool and had the coolest people of the day on.
THANK YOU LORD FOR BIRTHING ME OLD SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 85.......🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹RIP. RICHIE🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
What's great about this,..whatever they had "Scripted" to do,..ended the second Sly showed up.
whatever
All 3 high as a mofo
Fun to see but its a true fact Richard & Sly destroyed themselves with drugs. Makes it a little less funny.
All three? I doubt mike is high...wtf is wrong with you the other two are.yes definately!!!!!!.mike dont look high sre you high??? Writing such tripe...
I have to say that I never heard of this man before and a search for Sly Stallone resulted in me finding this guy. What an absolute gem and I also watched him talking with Muhammad Ali and he came across as a sweet, funny, likable and extremely talented person. Thank you for your post
I am SO glad you "get" Sly Stone. He is all of the things you've observed. It's also interesting to note that, along with the band LOVE, Sly & the Family Stone was the first truly integrated rock act, hailing from the psychedelic San Francisco Bay Area - and truly reflected the ethos of those days - peace, love, personal freedom, untethered creativity, self-expression, dissolved boundaries in a melded collective where everyone maintained his or her own individuality but contributed to a greater more beautiful whole, joyously breaking social and cultural norms with a "message," but not heavy-handedly so, etc. And they are FUN to dance and listen to. And Sly is brilliant and, as you say, sweet and vulnerable, but rocks it with power and righteousness,
Did you listen to Sly's music, though?
@@PRODUCEDBYKEV uh yeah...for 50 years. And you?
You never heard of the band Sly and the Family Stone?
Google them.
There is a lot of their music on TH-cam and Spotify, among other platforms.
Great tunes! Wonderful sound.
Give it a listen!
Respect these Good Men. Many people got high or whatever in Some way in those days. ...and many people still do.
Heck ...even the audience is stoned. Mabey, theres nothing wrong with that. 💙💚💜💛❤🌍🐱🐾🍀🌲🐍
@2:30 translation- Richard I got real good cocaine back stage that I'm gonna share with you.
moehammondmedia lol that pack was in his left vest pocket
💙💙💙💙
Mike Douglas always had the welcome mat down for black entertainers back in the day that's why I always watched his show. I miss television from these times.
He was really great. I watched it for black entertainers as well as high-quality non-black entertainers. He gave a lot of people a chance to speak at length and in their own way, unlike someone like the phony stilted Merv Griffin.
Coca Cola did a helluva business backstage that day.
Coca Cola was a helluva a beverage.
Omg these 2 legends were really really locos and funny😄😃😎
Amazing television
Richard's playing bebop jazz drums here, pretty damn incredible. I'm not sure why he's not playing 4/4 soul groove, but he still kills it. Sly is simply a genius, as was Richard at his craft.
Uhhh….more like when you let a 4 year old loose on your drum kit! Crash boom crash! And Dad says “That’s Jazz”!!!😂
I suddenly want to go drive a Pinto with an 8 track in it listening to the Isley Brothers....haha.
Ol sly tore up from the floor up... Lol...party after the gig brother 😂
You know they hung together!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing…. I bet they were so funny off camera.
God bless Sly, I hope he is living better these days. Kind of tragic, but it's sad to know he was living in a van for a few years recently.
he seems to be doing ok now
+Susan Doran he lives in a trailer and he still does drugs
chris edwards .... you are dead wrong....He has a custom built mobile recording studio/home parked right in front of his own house... He likes the outdoors and as of now he is drug free... Don't buy into the crappy lies peddled by the media.... How many wealthy people live in mobile homes? Answer - many
Jimmm Grimmm good to know. Willie Nelson does the same thing.
Well of the 3 sly still living he will be 78 march 15 2021
i love it all day
Thanks Beefing 313 for the morning laugh😅
Glad you enjoyed it! What or Who is Beefing 313? :)
damn i would've loved to see him play that guitar
Sly came out in that silver suit looking like the next Five Heart Beats gonna be the six member.Funny!
That's the coolest entrance anyone's ever made.
So wonderful to see. Love it
Cold blooded, fired Rich on the drums, crazy shit.
Incredible !!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS...
You're welcome - so glad you enjoyed it!
Great, great TV.
Sylvester Stewart (born March 15, 1943), better known by his stage name Sly Stone, is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer who is most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, playing a critical role in the development of funk with his pioneering fusion of soul, rock, psychedelia and gospel in the 1960s and 1970s. AllMusic stated that "James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it," and credited him with "creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds." Crawdaddy! has called him "the founder of progressive soul".
80 años.
3:43 I just learned that "out of pocket" was used at least as far back as the early 70s
Sly is the man!
Very Cool MD. _uckin' Richard Pryor talkin' sh_t 'bout Sly's shoes! So funny. Thanks for the UL.
Barry
You're welcome :)
Handsome oh so handsome Sly Stone

Classic!
Tellevision magic. Right there!
It truly is! Glad you found and appreciate it :)
They all geeked up 😆 😆 😆
They Hiiiigh. Richard holding that cigarette like a joint

Its era not area
@@debbierolland4209 LOL😂
@@debbierolland4209 LOL😂
Wow good eye
Sly higher than the sky!
This is so funny,I love it.
Isn't it great? I love it too :)
I miss Richard and Sly..
I've never watched this but it just started and I know its gonna be fun. They both were party animals
made me smile that was nice
Love Richard ! RIP to the King Of Comedy.
They don't do talk shows like this anymore.
That is for SURE!
I love this!!!
glad you do :)
Sly was serious at the end
MD: "Who in the hell booked these two?" "Next time it's Donny Osmond and Andy Williams!"...
LOL! nah, he dug them.
Richard never could be 2nd fiddle especially with another black man. Love you Sly,
Sly Stone should make a movie about himself Oakland Bay Area will be in the movie
God the fashion the hair the weight. I do miss the 70s
I didn’t know who the (:) these guys were in 1974 when this was made. But later, I realized that Sly’s band’s big moments were already passed them..although I just read they still had a top twenty album in ‘74. So was Sly still a face on TV during the mid-70s and late-70s disco boom. Would he have looked out of place in ‘Saturday Night Fever’? Pretty soon, slick disco was unstoppable and funk was kinda not mainstream. Hits like ‘Fly Robin Fly’ or ‘Get Down and Boogie’ were huge and they each had a total of six words .
Thanks for your comment and for watching the video. I'll reply tomorrow because it's more than I can get into right now, but many of your presumptions aren't quite on-point.
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aaaah - isn't it? Glad you dug
