Sly's first album had much more complex arrangements. After the first album he simplified his arrangements a little bit. It obviously helped to make his music more accessible to a wider audience. 'Dance To The Music' was where everyone joined the party, and Motown took notice and followed Sly's template for their new pschedelic direction, assigning Norman Whitfield to The Temptations and adapting their sound to the musical revolution that Sly & The Family Stone had ushered in.
Sly marquait déjà sa différence en 61 lorsqu'il rejoignit le groupe de Soul THE VISCAYNES (Formation Doo-wop Multi-Ethniques). Cette ligne de démarcation se confirme de la même manière lorsqu'il décida de diffuser les disques des BEATLES, Bob DYLAN ou ROLLING STONES quelques années plus tard,à une période ou Sly intervenait à titre de DeeJaY pour la station Soul: KSOL (San Francisco) A vous suivre..
@girlsailor123 Early rap drew heavily on the 70's funk scene for beats, inspiration and attitude. Check out George Clinton's Parliment/Funkadelic stuff if you're keen for more along these lines. ^_^
@Plaguelord -Yep. Well, the "Van" is better described as a small, self contained camper/ motor home. Sly records muisic in it. The folks living in the house where Sly parks the camper, feed him and allow him to use the shower. ASly's valle lives in the house. Sounds more like somebody staying with relatives, than a dead broke, homeless person. Thank God, he is alive.
You must have reading issues i made a pro Sly comment and you had a go,Sly never won awards that he deserved Miles was influenced my Hendrix not Sly but Prince never admitted he was influenced by Sly,I am a Sly fan and you stacked it,you are a hero,fakewit,Sly is influential but the commercial people never gave him the credit that all I mean.
@jasonjuliushaekcmedi From a fellow Sly fan and also a fan of Prince, Prince has paid many tribute to Sly in interviews, onstage and on record. Go to prince.org and type in Sly Stone, and you can see many articles where Prince praised Sly. Also, Prince is friends with Larry Graham, who he has played with countless times.
@Rakabash Prince fuckin sucks man, n comparison,and Prince has never stated he was influenced by Sly he is in denial,he and Jackson owe this man heaps.Fuck Prince the dandy.
@jasonjuliushaekcmedi Sly is Prince's biggest influence, and he has stated this several times throughout his career. He still performs covers of Sly's songs and occasionally performs with the original members of The Family Stone. Not to mention the influence of Larry Graham on Princes's bass playing.
@jasonjuliushaekcmedi You don't have to like Prince, some of his albums are not as consistently great as his best work between 1978 and 1988, but as a musician and live performer he is untouchable. He is the best live performer of his generation and one of the best of any era.
Bless you Sly,never got the accolades he deserved the founder of funk,hip hop ,disco and that groovy look,better than jackson and Prince who ripped him off.this track kicks ass and in it has truth, complete truth.
Are you kidding me? Anyone with a brain knows Sly & The Family Stone's contribution as innovators to the history of recorded and live music. You're talking about a guy and his group that influenced both MILES DAVIS AND JIMI HENDRIX! Take 1 guess where the ideas for both Band of Gypsies and Bitches Brew came from.
Man i agree on what you say but don't get hot headed FakeWit,Miles plyed fusion based on Hendrix ,Sly was not recognised by the commercial public and deserved more ,i am a Sly fan and wished him more sucess,so why are you slamming me Fakewit 69
@oakland2949 I hear you on that one. When i heard Iggy Pop's Lust For Life being used for a car commercial i was mortified. There is a singer out of Detroit named Brendan Benson. He has this track called "What I'm Looking For". I used to play it on a seemingly endless loop ad thought this was one for those who like esoteric sounds. Imagine my horror upon hearing this on an Independence Blue Cross ad. Fuck's sake!
@the215renaissanceman It's funny that you should say that. I heard somebody use this instrumental under a sports highlight show here in the Bay just about a week ago. I figured it fit and it wasn't cheesy. If you didn't know the song, you wouldn't have thought twice about it.
I wish bitch-ass Youtube would help its users, instead of saying "error, try again" when I put a banned character in, perhaps they could put the more helpful: "we have mistakenly detected you as attempting to use HTML in your post, sorry for our poor detection methods, but at least you know why, so you can save time re-posting". Useless generic error instead - fooling no hackers either. Anyway, Sly Stone is much more useful - even on a bad day.
@TheTongueTerrorist You're right to correct the thumbkin one, haha! You yourself mean the song 'Frère Jacques', yes. (French trad. song referring to a monk sleeping-in instead of sounding the morning bells for mass!) The 'Frère' is exaggerated making it sound like there's an 'and' or extra syllable in there.
whatever ruck973....i was there back in the day...some of us are tired of looking for "good" music. should i also look for air to breathe? turning on the radio confirms my frustration, so dont tell me how to feel about the abysmal state of mainstream music....you weren't even born, so your point of reference needs growth...serious growth. peace to you too
There's great art being made everywhere today. You just won't find it promoted by big time corporations who own the mainstream media. I bet there's a great band every goddamn square mile of this country. Open your eyes, open your ears. The more the corporations supress (s.p.) the good stuff, the better the good stuff gets!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the intro reminds me a lot of "Frère Jacques" a French nursery rhyme. Like they say, inspiration comes from many places lol. (Awesome tune, Sly & The Family Stone ftw ^^)
@89Snake - I think you're right. But I immediately thought of the theme song from the 60s cartoon, 'Underdog', also. Well, that's what creative people do: pull their inspirations from seemingly unlikely sources.
The lyrics to this song are so hot-on the real. Sly & Family Stone said it all in this song for those of us who are doing our best to survive on the wrong side of (today's) invisible railroad tracks. Or what can be termed as the economic, racial & political "line of demarcation. If you get a chance, look up the online lyrics, read along as you listen to this song. Not only is the instrumentals fantastic, the lyrics lay on top of the melody most awesomely. Wake up 2day's writers&musicians. Shift
it almost seems like the music u upload is made for beatmakers, like they knew these hats and this horn would bang in a beat... but i'm afraid they did not knew that back in the days lol. love what ur doing man big up
@S8917560G yes it is the song and its played in c like underdog.There is a German vesion its called "Bruder Jakob" but i think that the french version "Frčre Jacques" is the orginal.
@oakland2949 - this album was re-released in 1970. Sly & the Family Stone was signed to Epic and released A Whole New Thing in 1967. Their first chart hit wasn't until 1968 with "Dance to the Music" off the album of the same name.
@oakland2949 he was just throwing info out because he thought you might wanna hear, why do ppl have to assume everyone is trying to prove them wrong on the internet?
i wish everyone who argued over Youtube could get like bad rep or something and you could block ppl's comments with bad rep so they dont ruin it for everyone else.
@flip103333 Do you think I was arguing. I was praising him. When did you even get into the conversation? Real hip-hop is about competition, aka battles. Hip-Hop music was made by looping the best breaks from the songs of this era and others as well as other genres.
Competition doesn't stop at breakin', DJing, writing, MCing. It goes to knowledge of the breaks. I got schooled and I was letting him know that he was the one who did it.
@oakland2949 you said "i stand correct. god job." i wont give a douche bag like you respect still you respect others. cant get any if you dont give it.
This is the music that shows the PASSION and has the real voice of that era. Underdog as a word says it all. Think about it... late 60s and being "not white". Sh*t this stuff works even today. Not to even mention how KILLER GROOVY this track is.
You just don't hear anything this good anymore. Today's music is washed for the brainwashed. Good music needs hard times and innovative people get together. Long live these funk's golden masterpieces!
This is a fantastic jam...Sly's vocals have a vibrance to them that is reminiscent of early James Brown on this song (in parts)! Sly is so versatile!!
TO EVERYBODY BITCHING ABOUT TODAYS MUSIC ON THE COMMENTS.
IF YOU WANT MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE THEN GO LISTEN TO IT. THE INTERNET HAS EVRYTHING ON IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND IT. MAINSTREAM MEDIA ISN'T GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU. SO STOP RANTING ABOUT HOW MUSIC IS CORNY AND MEANINGLESS NOW-A-DAYS. DEAL WITH IT.
PEOPLE STILL MAKE GOOD MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE IN EVERY GENRE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT SUPPORTED BY THE MAINSTREAM. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT.
@RUCK973 i think thats a pretty good reason to complain about something. its so much harder to find good music now. back then it was played on the radio/tv...now u gotta search the internet like crazy to find 1 good band
@RUCK973 - But, we want NEW music to like, buy and hear in concert, and then talk about on the internet. Where is it? Stop yelling at uuuuuuuusss (waaaaaannnnnhhhh!).
@FromUR2UB just look around into new bands, when sly was doing this music there was probably shit on the top played songs also(an article on cracked.com talked about this recently)... so there's no reason bitching about music today just because you know the greatest jewels of the past... you did because they were good enough to last, if you look for good music and good bands you'll find
@trw45q - WHAT new bands?? Who and where are they? That's the thing: there aren't any new self-contained R&B / funk bands. What happened to them? Of course all music of the past wasn't great, or even good, but it was fewer and farther between the good stuff. Good music wasn't sporadic, and the number of artists who were good couldn't be counted on one hand. The most exciting current music I've heard in a long time was John Legend and The Roots Unstaged video. How many are doing it like that?

This is the music that shows the PASSION and has the real voice of that era. Underdog as a word says it all. Think about it... late 60s and being "not white". Sh*t this stuff works even today. Not to even mention how KILLER GROOVY this track is.
You just don't hear anything this good anymore. Today's music is washed for the brainwashed. Good music needs hard times and innovative people get together. Long live these funk's golden masterpieces!

This is a fantastic jam...Sly's vocals have a vibrance to them that is reminiscent of early James Brown on this song (in parts)! Sly is so versatile!!

THIS SHIT HOT .
TO EVERYBODY BITCHING ABOUT TODAYS MUSIC ON THE COMMENTS.
IF YOU WANT MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE THEN GO LISTEN TO IT. THE INTERNET HAS EVRYTHING ON IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND IT. MAINSTREAM MEDIA ISN'T GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU. SO STOP RANTING ABOUT HOW MUSIC IS CORNY AND MEANINGLESS NOW-A-DAYS. DEAL WITH IT.
PEOPLE STILL MAKE GOOD MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE IN EVERY GENRE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT SUPPORTED BY THE MAINSTREAM. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT.
PEACE

@FromUR2UB I think what RUCK973 meant is that there actually is new music. As he said, we have to look for it.

@FromUR2UB just look around into new bands, when sly was doing this music there was probably shit on the top played songs also(an article on cracked.com talked about this recently)... so there's no reason bitching about music today just because you know the greatest jewels of the past... you did because they were good enough to last, if you look for good music and good bands you'll find

@trw45q - WHAT new bands?? Who and where are they? That's the thing: there aren't any new self-contained R&B / funk bands. What happened to them? Of course all music of the past wasn't great, or even good, but it was fewer and farther between the good stuff. Good music wasn't sporadic, and the number of artists who were good couldn't be counted on one hand. The most exciting current music I've heard in a long time was John Legend and The Roots Unstaged video. How many are doing it like that?
