  • No matter what has transpired Sly and the Family Stone has made a contribution to music and the world that’s undeniable.

    When I was young Sly and Jimi were the only true innovators that mattered to me.
  • Sly has moved into a large home in California and doesn’t live in a camper anymore. It’s a video on YouTube showing his home. Nice video
  • @Alice-fr1ef
    I remember Sly & the Family Stone from the very beginning and I loved all of their music When I hear one of his songs today even if someone else is doing it I immediately know that is one of Sly Stone's songs.
  • Such an amazing band that broke records. I’d love to see a biopic or mini series on them
  • @Ston247
    Powerful bands like Sly and the Family Stone are difficult to keep together. Squabbles over song writing and ego are the usual culprits. Drugs, money and women are secondary. It's not easy to run a power group when you're high all the time because while you're in Strawberry Fields, you're only thinking about yourself.
  • @ReneNYG1

    That live version on TV of “Hot Fun In the Summertime” is mind blowing good. I rode my bike to the record store to buy the 45 and slid it over my handlebars to be cool on the ride home. My favorite line: “I cloud 9 when I want to!”. Love it. That band had 4 lead singers! Such an original happy sound. Definitely one of my all time favorite bands

  • @kevinalford272

  • @beverlyrhame3692
    It’s quite mind boggling how people who make the decision to start doing drugs never learn that their lot will not be improved in any way shape or form.😞
  • They were so exciting on every way. They were exciting to listen to as we.as to.look at! The show was lively, the costumes were outrageous! I was a little girl.when my Dad got is tickets to sitbin the audience for the Ed Sullivan Show. Back.in the 60s and 70s there were certain shows that were filmed ising a live audience. You could write to the Producers and they would send you tickets. Television was exciting back then. The Honeymooners was also filmed in front of a live audience. Wonderama with Bob McCallister too! Im.not sure if Captain Kangaroo used a live audience or not..

    That song or freestyle he did at the end was interesting to think about or decipher
