in Cleveland 1969 stood on chair to dance to them..best band ever..and I am old...seen most...

These musicians didn't care about race. They loved music and performing. They were bonded by that. Sometimes it feels like we have regressed as a society. These artists figured this out in the 60s and 70s

It was 1971. I was in Basic training in Ft Lewis WA. I had just turned 18 when I went into a local bar and to my young Minnesotan life unaccustomed to this kind of music I was exposed to a performace of Sly Stone and his band, performing 'Let me take you Higher'. I was transformed by beauty, power, love of these wonerful people as the vibes got into me. Thank You! Thank You! Boom lakka lakka BOOM lakka lakka!

The groove, the clothes, the afros = score 11 on the Funk-o-Meter.

1:56 "...He don't work 'for' me..." ('Work with') 💕 Sly corrected that immediately 😁 Mike Douglas show was our nighty watch with Mom & Grandmother in the 1960s 🎶🎼✨🎸📯🎺❤️ his younger brother, he's the other half of my, I'm the other half of him... That's family unity embraced.

This band teaches us a cultural lesson: We can all be one when it comes to music. Blacks, whites, men and women all together playing as one, no boundaries. And to think that this was happening in the 60's. Just amazing.

Such an incredible bunch of musicians. In an era where not just anyone could “make it”... skill and soul was needed.
-
He had a vision with his music to cross all racial boundaries,and I think he succeeded .He helped to make music a truly universal language.

Everybody listened to them!!! Awesome!!! We danced, had fun, had peace, had love, the 70’s were unlike any other decade!!!!

Sly Stone is a beautiful human being! He always promoted peace and love among all people!

When music was real... without voice enhancers! True artists in this era!

Kids who were born in the 1970s. This was real music. Something you missed out on

Rest in peace Cynthia,not only was she fine as they come but she was one hell of a trumpet player and congrats to Sly for recently winning that 5 million settlement for being fucked over for his long over due royalties and having faulty management
