@@zackzallie8735 I hope I'm not insulting your music knowledge here, but since Sly & The Family Stone has such a wide audience and is still listened to even now so many years later, it occurred to me that you might not be old enough to realize I was making reference to a song from the 60's: Richard Harris' *MacArthur Park.* If you're not familiar with it, I hope you'll listen and see how strongly I feel about Sly Stone having such a unique sound!

The first time I heard this 50 years ago, I was *FLOORED* by the electronics in combination with the rhythmic style and class of this song! This was *REAL* talent!!

[@louise_rose]

Yes, I can hear how new it must have sounded at the time, and how well they bring these simple, early electronic tracks together with the music. The most striking thing to me about the song is the rugged soulfulness of the vocals and lyrics - it really feels like he's singing about people who have had experiences they both want to talk about and can't or won't talk about. It comes thiough in his drawling voice, the phrasing, and also in the lyrics of the second verse...Incredibly poignant song.

[@dirtydozen5079]

I remember 🤗 magic voice of his

[@louise_rose]

Yes, such a beautiful track in its deceptive simplicity. It sounds rugged, worn but soulful, the understated pain here gets me every time. It really feels like he's trying to talk about experiences too painful to openly admit, something that comes through in the paradoxes of the lyrics to the second verse. "Doctor Wu" by Steely Dan has a similar feeling that the main character (voiced by Donald Fagen) is both trying to tell us a story about deception and pain (drug addiction) and trying *not* to tell it - because it's too painful and personal...his voice conveys this double direction.

Good on him for winning what he deserved in court. The man Yaers ago I dated a girl living in Sawtelle/Mar Vista and there was a fucked up looking RV always parked near KFC. I used to see him outside chilling every now and then. I had no idea it was him cause he looked so different. Then I saw the article that he had finally won $5 million from royalties that were stolen from him. It was him! They asked him what he was gonna do? He said "I dunno, probably buy a nicer RV"
