Everyday People - Maroon 5 Sly and the Family Stone

[MrMusicman1971]

This really rocks! Thanks for sharing.

[TypesALot]

I wonder if they got the name for the TV show, "Different Strokes" from this song back in the 1970s?

[illa2015]

whos the girl singing in the chorus?

[spainishgirl]

JAM ON MAROON5 / SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE!!!

[android0818]

this is a good band and my man has a wicked voice, and i give them props for approaching this song in an original way... but i can't really dig it. for me, the meaning of the song was lost, drowned out by overproduction. i would have liked to see them do this song in a more broken down arrangement, with an acoustic drum kit! just my opinion! but again i am pumped that they chose to interprate this classic all the same

[m5musiclover12]

I LOVE IT!

Maroon 5 never dissapoints me.

[OAGERR]

OMG I did this song in dance class it's really awsome

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Glad you like it. It's actually one of my fav covers by M5. You can feel how much lyrics are felt when they are sung. Which matters, you know. Cool that you do dance classes. Dance is a wonderful thing :)

[312ElectroShock]

@OAGERR AHHHHHHH wer twins!!!! were learing a dance in dance class to this song

[POW3RTOTHEP3OPL3]

This is alright, I hate the electric drum kit though.

[maretyoshikawa]

You have your opinions, we have ours. Namely original=untoucheable; This one= WAY worthy.

I saw your page though. I guess your tastes differ a bit from ours anyway. Definitely from Zaira's (the video page holder). Which explaines a lot.

Anyway, no pun intended. You don't like this, fine. We ADORE it instead.

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Ditto to Maret ;)

[Disaster3T]

i thought i woulden't like it, but it's actually kinda good.

[ZairaAmaterasu]

It actually really is, yep ;)

[Princeboy99]

I definitely LOVE the Sly & The Family Stone tribute album, definitely a great idea...but this version doesn't HOLD A CANDLE to the original by Sly and the Family Stone..that one is the best!

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Sly & the Family is a legendary combo, so I can't say what you say about the original version is not correct. But I also love this one, Adoring Adam's voiice, to me any he breathes out in form of note hits my inner core, and make it work always. So for me it holds not merely one, but one million candles anyway. This said and done, I discovered better Sly THANX to Maroon. and this was a priceless, rewarding experience I keep thankin them for. ;) Take care :)

[666Cibele666]

Adam's voice is a God given gift. Sure the original version is wonderful, but to say this can't holde a candle to it is painfully wrong.

[owenreyes]

from what album is this version?

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

Miss Z. wrote that aside in the info box ;) This version is from the Sly & The Family Stone album of 2006 "Different Strokes for Diferent Folks" ;)

[PureBloodxPrincess]

wasn't this the smarties theme

[ciorci80]

è la prima canzone che si sente nel film definitely, maybe .... cover molto bella

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Devo proprio andarlo a vedere, quel film ;)

[ciorci80]

se ti interessa il film è già furi a noleggio , a me è piaciuto molto .... un belle storia romantica .

[missfits09]

Miss Z this is terrific. what a great colaboration. The remake is better than i expected. thanks so much for sending!

[ZairaAmaterasu]

My pleasure dear :) If I can afford it, this evening I'll load Promised Land thanx to a friend who sent me the file (outside US you can't buy that, ARGH!)

Hugs :)

[nureyevblueyes]

I am lookin forward to the new collaboration he's gonna deliver along Kanye. There's something special about them/him when bonding with other amazing artists (like with Sly and the Family)create an exponential value.

You did a great job once again Miss.

[7craigdaniel7]

Come sempre il tuo amore per loro traspare chiarissimo nel modo che hai di comporre i video, scegliere le canzoni e descriverne le caratteristiche.

[cormanbillysp]

Molto bello splendore: ah...tu non sei "everyday people", ricordatelo sempre ;)

[ChrisCromwell1981]

Nice Zaira, nice. I forgot to tell Karim on the phone, I write this here so your friends can read. Adam will join again Kanye West for a song included on a compilation pro-Obama.

The song's called "Promised Land". He couldn't taise down his political belief any longer I suppose ;) But I am sure you all will love their mix again.

As this video proves.

[666Cibele666]

WOOOOOOOW! Is that real? I am gonna search the news online then!

Love when Adam and Kanye do things together! I only hope that song will be possible to be bought here in Italy as well. Can't stand when on iTunes I'm prevented from buying american stuff... Anyway thank you for the news :)

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

Absolutely amazing news Mash! Thank you thank you thank you. My biggest dream ever would actually be a collab among Adam, Kanye and Alicia (whom Kanye considers - rightly - most talented female artist). That'd be REALLY best thing on Earth. But this you've predicted won't be bad, either!

Thank you. I'm totally smiling!

[0lucydiamond0]

Best news of the week ;)

[maretyoshikawa]

Pure awesome-ness!! Lurv ya Mizz. :)

[JPCopelland]

Same story here, Miss. But WOOOOOOOHAAA! You always give us more dear ;)

I so LOVE this song. I know it's quite soon to think Xmas but by then, Surely you're gonna put up Happy Christmas from last year charity single won't you? THANX ;)

[waterhilla]

Stupid youTube maintenance... It's half an hour that I'm tryin to comment under this!

That's a blast, Miss. And I agree as well with all you've stated. ;)

[gallimel]

E' sempre piacevole dare un'occhiata ai tuoi video. E questa canzone è una piccola perla.

[LaylaohLaylaOh]

E' molto bello, e mi piace che collaborino con artisti di ogni genere e colore. :)

[eleonorawhite]

Magnifico :) :) :)

[FinalFantasia6]

Excellent video Miss Z. This is a song I dearly love, and I think young kids should become familiar with Sly and the Family, as they're seminal, indeed, in music and soul history.

Great job.

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

Oh, Zaira... this is wonderful and it dries my words off, cos you've said it all already. yes, one of the reasons I love Maroon 5 the most for is their shining spirit of brotherhood. They do believe in great and good things. And that is also what makes really adam's voice shine, just like here.

Amazing job. :)

[0lucydiamond0]

BELLISSIMO MISS!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, better with English.

I am with Lucilla here. I love the way you've put together images and words. Sure Maroon 5 believe in equality and open minded approach to life sharing. It's one of the main reasons we all love them for.

And then this song is amazing. Suits Adam's voice wonderfully.

[666Cibele666]

Fantastic Miss Z. I LOOOOOVE This song, I wish they would do an entire album with Sly and the Family. I also love the natural images you've put in, and the way you say what makes world beautiful is the mixing of colours and shape. I'm sure Adam and the guys agree BIG time.

Baci ;)

[IWasThinkingOfYou2]

You Did A Great Job On This Video ***** :-)
