I love classic rock and 1970s funk and R&B soul music it brings me back memories of the by gone era oooh I am white I don't judge or crictizing someone skin color what is inside of that person all matter we all bleed the same sooo peace to all you!
@heavyrocknroll, I like at 3:54 he's trying to catch the groove but when he sees the camera is filming him at 3:58,he tries to catch the groove even more.He has that look on his face like,darn, I can't let the world see I ain't got no rhythm, that's to funny.
Sly is looking like the transvestite black Elvis. LOL. He's just waiting for his silicone tits to come in and couldn't wait to wear his new halter top. Jungle Bunny, don't call me Cracker just cause I hoe a good row. I love the blonde chic playing the keyboard and singing the opening line. She's golden. Like all good Ferengae women, she should not be wearing any clothes.
@professormacdeezy you sound a little queezy, professormacdeezy. take it easy if you have a cold. I was just teasing, If I may be so bold. everyone's a poet but don't know it.
I think the voices blend perfectly..the horn section come in just right time, and Slys baritone voice is as good as Jim Morrisons if not better I wish Sly could spend his golden years in a home instead of a van...
He earned it..the music is as good as it was when it was wriiten..and we all still enjoy it day after day, decades later.
Yeah, it's sad that so many of us are rhythmically challenged but we did know enough to buy Sly's music and love it! And, even now, so many years later it moves me (in or out of the beat ;-)!
During this time Northern California was very progressive, liberal and for equality all around. I lived their and can relate...stop calling each other names and grow-up. Listen to Sly and the Family Stone music, get the CD's and see what they were all about..Unity.
@slickjilly people FELT the music back then ... if i were in that audience, i would reat the same way ... i did the same thing in front of the screen :)
oh yeah, sun tanning in the yard with a transistor radio, slathered in johnson's baby oil. Life is good. Brings tears to my eyes. Makes me think of better days. Sly was cooler than cool. Funkadelic!
This was circa 1972,,in okc, ok., a town not renown for Sly-led style music.( If ya know what I mean) in other words, We were a bunch-of-nobodies.. Now, this was around the time Sly was earning a rep for not showing up,Johnny Carson, etc Well,, here we were wondering in okc, ok if Sly would show.,Who are we?
Then, just then,,Sly pitched right into 'Hot Fun'. Sly Stone Band put on the best show I have yet to see. Another poster had it down pat, 'you could not sit down'!
What a great video. They were awesome. In person, you could NOT sit down when they played. Everyone was up and dancing at the Garden when I saw them in the 70's. Wish they were still around!
@TheColourGurl Good thoughts. You might also deduce that folks of different races enjoyed the same music, that EVERYBODY DANCED, that nobody was posing. . And that the bass player was amazing, and his drummer (you know, the one who keeps the beat) was a white guy. I saw them in 1968 and again in 1969, and trust me, everybody danced all night, nobody sat a minute. By the way, this was the earliest 70's, probably 1970.
I love that the races can jam together like that, especially back in those times. S&TFS was the bomb.They put out some great music that will last forever. Thank you Stone family. :)
@darryl...these particular white people sure 'cant dance' to the point that they are distracting..so i am gonna say i agree.with you here... and a lighten-up to others...lighten-up...take a dance class or sumptin
@SixtiesPopGold concur darry...racism goes both ways...shocking that condescending/disgusting rap chatter today is so demeaning with so may lyrics have the word "Niggas" in rap chatter hits these young poeple hear today.
@SixtiesPopGold Perhaps but now when I hear people say "Black people do this that and the other" I find more and more people either agree and/or laugh.
@darrylhaynes Not true and not all black people can dance. I can attest to that. At least they were out there dancing appreciating the music and rhythm. The other poster was right, you do need to shut up.
@darrylhaynes That's a stereotype...some white people CAN dance as well anyone else...I've known black girls who can't dance a lick! and there are racists of both colors...isn't that right, Darryl?
All hell, all these racist comments are just plain ignorant! Music has no color. And it makes no difference: Sly and the Family Stone were awesome!! You also have to understand this was during a time of high racial tension. Most of today's music can't compare to these kind of classics. Now it's Justin Beiber and kiddie pop that burns out as fast as it came in. THIS is real music!
You all notice that when these older 60s and 70s acts are playing --- I don't care if it's the Carpenters or Sly or Zep or freakin' Dean Martin, it's all done **LIVE** and no lip-sync. It didn't matter back then what kind of music you were singing or playing, you had to be able to prove yourself everyday, every show by playing right to your audience without a pre-recorded vocal or backround. The music was REAL! Thanks Sly, we will always remember.
@wildnites558 Really? Can you show me where the drum mics are? I think you picked a bad example to state that as this is (at least instrumentally) mimed. IMO.
@tranurse Im not sure, I found a video of the scene where the girl sing "how can people be so heartless" and she has more intense eyes, so my guess is probably wrong! ( HAIR scene: It's worth watching)
Fuckin Phil Collins! Not that Tony or Mike would have ever caught it, but Phil straight ripped of the main riff for "Misunderstanding" from the Family...and im sure Genesis has an outtake of "Dont call me Whitey" left over from the Abacab sessions 'Don't call me Limey, Wanker'... Fuckin Phil!
I just relived part of my childhood! That was a beautiful peace of footage and so well preserved! Sly and the Family Stone were the funkiest band of all times.!!
Saw them about 1970 at a large new england state college.....an evening I'll never forget. Prior to them starting the show - their road crew unpacked about 20 brand new Fender Dual Shoman amps still in their shipping boxes.....Famous and powerful Acoustic
amps as well.....When they came out on stage the entire arena (roof, floor, walls, our chests) absolutely shook with the wall of sound!! What a show.....the highs from the keyboards and horns nearly blew our eardrums out.
that girl @ 0:26 - I know exactly how she's feeling.....actually I don't, because I wasn't there in the flesh....but mannnn this is just sooooooooooooooo funky!
Dang they sound so awesome live! Very very few bands so this damn good live. Wow! I love Sly and the Family Stone. I wish I could how seen them at a live show. They were rare since Sly had a serious time showing up to the majority of them due to extreme drug use. I still love this band though, love them!
@whitebloodcell305 you make ashamed of sooooo much. i'm ashamed to be from florida, i'm ashamed to be white and i'm even ashamed to be human. those things mean i have stuff in common with you.
Awesome video. Actually, black kids make a distinction betwee "nigger" & "nigga." It may seem like semantics, but it's a distinction that ironically first came out of the 60s: taking demeaning words & using them as a badge of pride.
Back in the 60s, using the word "black" was initially considered offensive. The favored term was "negro." But by the mid-60s, a younger more militant black activists began using the term 'black." Especially, with older blacks, the n-word is still controversial.
What Happened ???? Black people and White people all partying and having a good time together.Women and men playing music and accepting each other as equals...WOW... what a concept.Yeah,Sly had his problems and he ultimatly couldn't keep it together but his message and his music was purely AMERICAN.Baby boomers... we tried and we'll go down in history as the generation that attempted to change America and in many ways we did.
@bronxboy51 i'll tell you what happened, both races starting making awful music so people stuck by their own race. its not the people listening anymore, its the tools making it.
At the same time that this was happening my friends and I used to call each other by various ethnic slurs just to shock the straights. It was fun. ...looks like Sly and family are having fun with it too. We had the belief that If you used the words in love and not in hate that they would lose their power to hurt. We were wrong.
calling ppl 'whitey' and 'nigger' was NOT acceptable back then even though it was done. It was nothing like today when black youth use the word 'nigger' and it seems to be accepted . No one did that back then- at least not in public
You can tell the TRUE greatness of musical artists by how well they are "live". Sly ? -nuff said- a stone cold groove!! Outta sight!!!! - Thank U SixtiesPopGold!!

7 things deduced about the 70s from this video:
1. Live entertainment was LIVE
2. "Nigger" was tossed around freely for a while before we became PC.
...
3. The metrosexual happened long before Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
4. There were no fashion rules.
5. Black folks had a fierce 2-step, White folks danced fiercely on melody
6. The funk face was born (28 secs).
7. Sly and the Family Stone were epic.

Awesome video. Actually, black kids make a distinction betwee "nigger" & "nigga." It may seem like semantics, but it's a distinction that ironically first came out of the 60s: taking demeaning words & using them as a badge of pride.
Back in the 60s, using the word "black" was initially considered offensive. The favored term was "negro." But by the mid-60s, a younger more militant black activists began using the term 'black." Especially, with older blacks, the n-word is still controversial.

What Happened ???? Black people and White people all partying and having a good time together.Women and men playing music and accepting each other as equals...WOW... what a concept.Yeah,Sly had his problems and he ultimatly couldn't keep it together but his message and his music was purely AMERICAN.Baby boomers... we tried and we'll go down in history as the generation that attempted to change America and in many ways we did.

@bronxboy51 i'll tell you what happened, both races starting making awful music so people stuck by their own race. its not the people listening anymore, its the tools making it.

At the same time that this was happening my friends and I used to call each other by various ethnic slurs just to shock the straights. It was fun. ...looks like Sly and family are having fun with it too. We had the belief that If you used the words in love and not in hate that they would lose their power to hurt. We were wrong.

calling ppl 'whitey' and 'nigger' was NOT acceptable back then even though it was done. It was nothing like today when black youth use the word 'nigger' and it seems to be accepted . No one did that back then- at least not in public
