This is an outstanding performance of Sly and the Family Stone's "Stand!" on the Mike Douglas show in 1974.

  • This was the first self contained R&B band to rock it. The 70s were just fantastic with Sly, War, EWF, The Isleys. They wrote them, They played them and they produced them with no mention of "hos" "n's" and "b's"

  • No mention of the N word? Was it "Don't call me bigger, whitey"?

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES They whited it up for Michael Douglas's audience. I guess he wood ent let 'em be dames elves again.

  • I FEEL LIKE I'M AT THE FUNERAL FOR THE SONG "STAND". W.T.F. HAPPENED? I JUST CAN'T "STAND" THE WAY THEY F.I.U.

  • @fmslhj you're right it's nigger

  • @rfnawesome Wouldn't you agree that it's a completely different connotation that was was used by Sly as compared to the way it's used these days? Think about about the timing of the song and what was going on in America, and the gratuitous way it's used these days. When you hear Sly say "Don't call me nigger, whitey; do you think the same thing, or do you feel the same way as when you hear Li'l Wayne say "nigga" this or "nigga" that? I don't think so.

    PEACE

  • This version has a gentler feel than the studio original--and it works......

    (works at both tempos, actually--it's an incredible song.....Sly forever!

  • What happened to Music that brought all people together ? No drugs...well maybe a little LOL! but it was about Music, Peace and love your Brother and sisters what ever the colors ~Those were some happy times, just look at the audience< WOW!

  • This never gets old. Still the greatest!

  • WOW! The Douglas show had Really Groovy Video FX!

  • persiangold it is evident that you don't know voice. His voice is as perfect as its ever been. as a matter of fact....its a bit better.

  • Wow...his life caught up with him in this performance.. his voice is gone, he has no control..if you notice other people are singing around him so it doesn't as noticeable. I really LOVE SLY..But this wasn't his best. And I LOVE HIM TO DEATH!!
