At 76 I can still shake it and bake it, just hope I don't break it.

Sly And Family Stone was my favorite and is still one my favorites as of today. I miss him so much. I wish I could get him back in the flow and up and running again. With his music, he should never retire.

Loved this band. This is the kind of music that teaches love, peace, harmony, joy, humanity, and all with a groove you can dance to. Brilliant music. Everyone could learn something listening to Sly and the Family Stone. Maybe then they would understand the truth; We are ALL Everyday People. Peace.

[@gsoltis29]

Pre recorded music - live vocals. Just like almost every band was forced to do on TV. You brought up the guitar not being plugged in. Wasn't sure if you didn't get it. The whole reason I posted the original was to comment on the vocals not being put through a million effects like half of the artists do live these days. It's gotten out of hand.

[@donaldmartin2729]

Nobody like Sly got too see him twice and a riot after both show’s…Sly without a riot was like driving a convertible in a hailstorm…We could use more of his music….RRHOFame should put Sly and the Family Stone in…Just think Woodstock … Than again the money maker’s owe a lot of musicians and bands…Live on Sly..

[@ethanhill9460]

I saw band 2x in my early youth perform at Madison Square Garden. Glad I'd taken piano lessons and been raised in a Baptist church congregation supported by a great organist and choir. I sensed this band secularized further gospel music and were impeccable musicians. EVERYDAY PEOPLE is indeed a hymn. FAMILY AFFAIR, another #1 hit on pop charts, is a magnificent blues, the dialectic opposite of gospel., SLY is a genius.

In all the years I've been a fan I've never heard Prince praise Sly and the Family Band as a key influence... even though Larry Graham was Prince's biggest influence and played the bass for Sly. If you know otherwise please comment. I followed Graham when he was in Graham Central Station and both Sly and Prince and think a LOT of Prince's funky sound owes to both the above.
