[@nuttismoke6863]

Your story is not unusual for the young ppl of your generation, that’s why our music was so good because it reflected us and who we were. We loved everybody and accepted the fact that no 2 ppl were alike and our mantra was “Live and let live”. We fought against the government, not against each other. I’ve heard that music has a high impact on the life and times of all. I have witnessed this statement. The last few decades was called rap but all I heard was talking hate toward cops, degradation of women, sex without love, hate for the country etc. to a beat meant to cause agitation in the head and soul and look around at what’s going on in the world today.

[@JeffTheGent]

Sly & the Family made history with this song by becoming the first predominantly black _band_ - rather than vocal group - to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. It was on top for four consecutive weeks, 2/15-3/8/69. The band had two more No. 1 pop hits: “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” (2/14-2/21/70) and “Family Affair” (12/4-12/18/71). The Ohio Players became the first all-black band to go No. 1 pop when “Fire” spent the week ending 2/8/75 there. Earth, Wind & Fire was the second a few months later when “Shining Star” spent the week ending 5/25/75 on top.

Bill, those fifty years are almost my entire life. The twin dreams of 60's, peace and civil rights, have not been fulfilled but we're getting closer. It's no longer just a few people marching and protesting. Just look at how many Americans of all races and creeds came out last summer after the murder of George Floyd and then we voted to remove trump. Look at how Americans have condemned the Jan 6th Insurrection. The battle to defeat racism and extremism will be long, but much progress has been made. Symbols and statues representing hate are coming down The "n" word, so common and so casually uttered in my childhood, is no longer tolerated. Our children live in a multicultural and multiracial country and they are being taught to love our diversity, not hate and fear it. Humans are flawed, tribal creatures in an imperfect world, but despite long odds we are making progress. Have hope and keep working to make your corner of the world better.

Hey....I'm everyday person...Know what??? Proud...

Soon after MLK was killed - Sly Stone wrote this song. A time when there was real racism in the country - 1969 - calling for unity - like MLK in his own way. Peaceful and with dignity. > It truly was -"the best of times & the worst of times". We went to the moon that year and astonished the entire world - contrasting the "times" !

With all of this hatred and division we need this message more than ever.

Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong, because I am Everyday People.

Its the great message, in 60's this was extremely important. I love the Family Stone, wish that could rewind.

Loved this song since it came out when I was just a kid,, what a classic ........

[@drricksjoquist4358]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the music of my generation from the late 60s and early 70s was the most thoughtful and soulful ever produced...and definitely the grooviest. Dig it.

[@BrianBoese-im8jm]

This is what This Country needs. Together again, all is one..For Freedom!!

[@pepislover1]

We must first stop the politicians, the Mainstream media, Hollywood, and our schools from dividing us. Stop believing the Marxist lies!!!

Sly & the family has always been some of the most inspiring figures in music because of this. They didn't just talked it, they lived it, bringing all the races together.

[@tommypauly3249]

If the kids now heard this, they would ask who the NEW group is. WHAT A SHAME

[@theronedawson3236]

We need to have this song played on every air wave and in every place where there are people. This song is now 50 years old. 2019.

[@leroylindseysr2402]

It is a great anthem for respecting people and treating them in a respectful manner
