FIRST TIME HEARING Sly And The Family Stone - Everyday People REACTION

[@allenlocke1935]

"Hot Fun In The Summertime", "Thank You"and "Family Affair" and "Stand". Are also iconic songs:)

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Also "Dance to the Music"

[@poppingjaz]

And "If you want me to stay"

[@michelleb9808]

All of these 😊 Guys you gotta do more of this band soon. Absolutely iconic. For those that NEED that funk. And so loved their diversity.

[@Code9]

Yes! "Hot Fun in the Summertime!" One of my all-time fave songs ever!

[@bmoak]

The correct answer is "I Want to Take You Higher"

[@cindyv1401]

This song should be played every day on every radio station from coast to coast. That's how appropriate it is for this day and age ‼️‼️💯 We are all every day people 😍

[@glenntrueman8209]

this should be our national anthem. sung at all our sporting events, etc. check out the Playing for Change version!

[@jhonyermo]

I agree but would most likely to be banned by reactionaries.

[@archerpiperii2690]

It is one song that is appropriate for this day and age; another would be: "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield.

One of my favorite quotes from Sly Stone, (lead singer of Sly & the Family Stone), he said: "Don't hate the Black. Don't hate the White. If you get bit, just hate the bite". I love their song "Dance to the Music". Thanks, guys!! I love "Everyday People" too!! 💙🎵💙

[@allenlocke1935]

Wow! What a quote Thanks for sharing:)

[@ivansavoie3190]

There's a live version where Sly starts by saying Don't hate the Black Don't hate the White if you've been bitten just hate the Bite, some of the greatest words ever spoken, great reaction

From a old white grandpa. I love you guys as much as I love watching and hearing your comments on the music you react to. You always put a smile on my face especially when your reacting to the music I grew up listening to in the 60's and 70's. What a long strange trip its been!

[@Ronald-k6s]

I was a teenager in the 70's and listened to my Mom's Music and Loved it too. Blues, Soul and Rock n Roll is way better than what I hear nowadays. I almost gave up on music of today but I have seen some videos of youngsters who ❤ the old music. The Warning and Liliac are just 2 bands to mention.

[@Festus171]

This group walked the talk too, they were one of the most diverse groups of their time. Great music. Great message.

[@go-nogo1475]

It's widely reported, from the time (I was alive even then!) that the KKK demanded the white members leave the band, while Black Nationalists demanded that Sly make The Family Stone black-only. Sly, as history shows, told both fringe groups to get bent!

[@Ronald-k6s]

"Everyday People" and "Everything is Beautiful" are great songs about just getting along and ❤ everyone. I wish people today would look back and check out the members of all the Bands of my youth. And look at the concerts and all the people there.

[@bayareathrasher666]

One of my favorite bands! Straight out of the Bay Area! Man, Woman, Black, White, Asian….diversity and talent!

One of the very first racially integrated bands and they were funky. Checkout "Dance To The Music" and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)"

[@phila3884]

Okay now, "Dance to the Music" is Sly's #1 smile generator. Trust me. Oh, and "Hot Fun in the Summertime". Heck, they're all good.

[@bill8384]

Sly and the family stone was one of the first bands to release a "Greatest hits" album, one of the greatest dance albums ever!

[@garyseven5791]

The first greatest hits album was Johnny Mathis's Johnny's Greatest Hits, released in 1958. The greatest hits album format then gained popularity in the 1960s and became ubiquitous by the 1990's.

[@theresagallagher9161]

I still have the album but the motown groups had greatest hits albums before Sly & the family stone.. have them too. I'm sure groups from the 50's do too. Etc.....

[@JayyeStone]

Hot Fun In the Summertime is one of my favorites ot theirs. Very progressive band for their time. Nice reaction! I agree Amber, music brings us together! Food does, too as they are things that ALL of us have in common.

[@gkiferonhs]

This is from my time. My R&R band covered some Sly. If the party didn't get moving with Sly, it was gonna be a LONG night.

[@gwts1171]

I would totally suggest "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" next! I got to meet Sly once in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he was in a really dark place at the time, but it still meant a lot to me. Thanks for the video, guys!

[@blackprix]

There were so many groups back in the day and sly and the family Stone are right up there, this is just one of the great hits and thanks for reacting… 50 years later it’s even is better than ever

I love seeing younger people getting surprised and responding to Music that my Generation loved as we grew up. This was one of the songs of the soundtrack of my life as a kid in the 60's and 70's.

[@Floppyearsmomma]

This is my favorite SFS song. I couldn't agree more about music healing this world. I grew up in the late 60's into the 70"s. Music was so much more cohesive then. Genre's would be mixed. Not until I became an adult did I realize how my heart and been shaped by all the vast music I had been exposed to. Then music became splintered more and more. With reaction channels, especially this one, people from all different generations, races, places, and walks of life are sharing great music. Jordan and Amber, I love your beauty that runs through and through. I say it every time. I'm so proud that you are Oklahomans. Love from Tulsa! xoxo

Oh geez… I forgot Hot Fun in the Summertime! Lots of Sly and Family Stome songs to do J & A

[@richardfriedman2633]

My 1st concert ever was seeing Sly in Madison Square Garden in 1970. It changed my life!! The 60 y.o ushers in their orange vests were dancing harder than the 20 y.o. freaks as 18,000 people never sat down!!! Also on the bill that night was Gladys Knight and th ePips and rare Earth - I'm still recovering. Sly was definitely a genius, way ahead of his time. The musicians of the Family Stone consisted of men, women, black, white, and family members which was hardly seen in music at that time. Larry Graham, their bass player invented the slap bass technique that all funk bands built on. They were so unique, so tight, so funky, so hot that you had not choice but to dance. I heard that Miles Davis said that he wished he had what they had as he watched them from backstage in 1969. Listen to "Sex Machine" or any other cut from the album "Stand". Their performance at Woodstock was killer!!!!

[@Teresia12]

I LOVE Sly and The Family Stone and this is my favorite song of theirs!! ❤ I'll always be a hippie at heart. I'm very much a product of the 60s n 70s. I clean house to this 😂😂On your own find a live version. You will love this even more!! Coming from believing in love and acceptance in the 60s n 70s is what makes me cry over what is happening with a the hate and separation today. We fought to come together. Now young people on the internet seem to be fighting to tear us back apart. I have granddaughters in college and they and their friends are not like that. You'd think they were from the 60s n 70s preaching love for everyone. I'm so proud of them. I'm blessed they all come to my house. We make lots of stuff together. They always want to know how we made beads and clothes and furniture and how we gardened and all that community stuff we did together. I love teaching them. When the soybeans were harvested we made soy milk.

[@srad-oq7cb]

I was a young teen when this song came out. We had such hope and belief that we would live peacefully with one another. We need that kind of hope again.

We had a club back in 72. We played Sly & the Family Stone, Allman Brothers, Led Zepplin, BB King, Pink Floyd, and many other incredible and diverse styles of music. The only criteria we had was the music had to be great. The way music is pigeonholed today makes people miss so much amazing music.

[@ericsmith123]

Sly and the Family Stone was one of the first popular integrated groups, and they raised eyebrows and hackles when audiences saw black and white musicians performing together. Black audiences were shocked to see a white funk drummer. Also significant that they had a female horn player, which is rare even today. The message of this song spoke directly to the group's experience and to Sly's vision.

Unfortunately drugs got to Sly, but he's still recovering and alive. Check out his memoir 'Thank You etc. Their 'Stand' album from which 'Everyday People' is taken laid the framework for all the funk bands on(apologies to the late James Brown, as Sly set the funk free.) Check out Thank You Fa Litte Me Be Myself', 'Dance To The Music' 'Hot Fun In The Summertime', 'Sing A simple Song', and even Family Affair' with Sly almost solo(Rose- vocals) R.I.P.Cynthia Robinson (the first female trumpeter I knew that had the chops) Graham Central Station was a by product of Sly and The Family Stone.
