A Sly and Family Stone Classic. Sly was a visionary. Remember his band had women and white and black musicians in it. It was so diverse for its time.

[@casssmith2610]

One of the greats!

I came here after consuming myself with all the media stories controversies conspiracies you name it I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to bounce out of that world and into the world of a happy music it worked. God bless everyone.

Hoping Sly sees this. Because I was little when this song came out and it changed my world. It made it fuller.

[@cathystone9838]

I now listen to this song at least once every single day. With the world today, I need to hear this. Wish we could play it in every public place. Humanity needs to hear it .

[@helanna9843]

The musicians all look so happy to be doing this. It's contagious.

[@scottcooper578]

MORE...MORE...MORE...we need a KZbin filled with this music, the internet, the world! Sly would be proud of this version.

[@MickHuerta]

Never better said!

[@TheCyberserf]

I believe this is the way he meant it to be sung. 🙂 "We got to live together."

Yes and no. We need this message more today.

[@fisch69]

I’m an old man who is battling cancer. This song and Playing for change, are one of the best things to happen in the recent past.. I sit home most of the time because can’t speak anymore due to the cancer. Music is the best medicine for our hearts and minds. It’s certainly helping me get through my personal sense of loss and grief..I applaud all of the incredibly talented people/ musicians who have brought this about, and want you to know how much your beauty has lifted my soul and spirit..❤

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

@@fisch69, as I hinted at above, I love this song. The video with this cover is so good, the diversity and the contrast of the musicians. I'm sorry you must go through this battle with cancer. I pray that you win your fight. For all the many faces of us, like the people in this video, I hope we defeat cancer once and for all. When you commented, this video popped up in my messages. I just listened to it, but I got to give it one more spin. Best wishes to you, my everyday friend.

[@ruffch]

Thank you for this. I’m dancing and singing. Joy is in the house.

[@lisaharvey4542]

One of the best things I've seen in awhile!! When I watched Quest Love's Oscar winning documentary, "The Summer of Soul", I was struck by how progressive Sly and the Family Stone's band was. Female and male musicians, singers, all races, singing for peace but what a groove. Here we are, decades later, still trying to convince people not to hate.

[@ldwson854]

Tears running down my face. That song from my childhood will always be so relevant and to see children joyously singing and dancing to it makes my heart light up. One of my favs. Thanks to Sly and all musicians and dancers in the video. Love this organization 👍👍👍
