Sly Stone and Muhammad Ali on The Mike Douglas Show (1974) 

Intelligence? He is articulate. But I wouldn't say super intelligent. Because he is in denial of actual history. He literally believed black slave traders were nice to their slaves. And sold then because they were just good people. 🤦‍♂️ they forcefully enslaved weaker tribes. Murdered them. Sacrificed them. Bred them like animals so they could take their children and sell them. Come on man. If people want to hold the small percentage of white Europeans who had a part in the African slave trade. Than let's hold all the people accountable. Because it wasn't like it was only white people. Because there was also black African Kingdoms that invaded European countries and enslaved millions of Europeans. Did disgusting things to Europeans.

Sly Stone acts like a little child, when his parent is on the phone talking seriously. The child keeps pulling on his parent's pant leg. "Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!" Or a mosquito buzzing around, until it gets swatted. Sly, shush!

@@michaelcorreira8125 nah sly was valid.. he had the spiritual vision.. everyone is a star

😂😂😂😂😂better then me, ain't nothing worse then being a sambo in amongst mixed company

​​@@nineether3757Like tupac said about hammer time 🤣

😂😂😂

He didn't because that why the fool idiot Sly Stone was there to do what he did. They wanted to set him up to beat up black stupid man rather than talk about them.

Exactly

Come on, tedious racists are ten to a dozen these days.

Yes, 8 billion people on earth and growing. There'll never be another, you know this, of course, because you've met and verified every human being in existence since Ali was born. Moron.

​@@JackKlumpassyou're in the wrong crowd for all that negativity. Everyone here is obviously a die Ali fan if you're watching this video. You included

We all do bro we all do Allah loves him too ❤

I believe that Mike Douglas changed his name from an Italian name. I might be wrong about this but somebody back then who was famous changed their name and I think it was him

……..and it’ll stay that way when people like Sly wanna be blasted while talking stupid. Put that dumb shit DOWN and let’s get SERIOUS❗️

Theres only so much seriousness a person can take until it becomes depressing.

@@brenetssss Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

Is that really the case though? We're in a time where people can't stop bitching about how others are supposedly upset and offended by everything, and if that were true it would certainly mean that people are taking things -too- seriously. I think the current climate, if I had to name a major issue of our time (that isn't unique to it, but is a huge component of) I would say it's the obnoxiously shallow black and white thinking people have. Everything is A or B, right or wrong, all good or all bad, nazi or communist, etc.

The greatest

What an idiotic thing to bring out that potty poopah politician.

Sly was so happy to be invited and to be making money and, to be approved by certain people! He wouldn’t let Ali be serious!! But Ali was real and a gentleman after Sly stayed quiet!

he is so real talking about reparations. it was a serious topic and no one in that time, took it up with such fever

Reparations is the dumbest idea ever. It just propagates a victim mentality. Whites where kept as slaves also, are we gonna give reparations to whites? What about the Africans who sold blacks to white slave masters? The whole thing is a BS idea from Communists who wish to destroy America.

2020? You must be ahead of your time?

Salam brother Malcolm x

Sorry Ali was being a passive aggressive A-hole. I love Muhammad Ali.

​@@rocky-iv1446y'all can't stand it when black call your white supremacy out so you result to name calling Ali was telling it as it is

Sly is a man with a beautiful heart.

​@@rocky-iv1446 I think Ali was focused on his next fight against Foreman which was a big big one

Ali was amazing in his ability to remain poised focused and full-minded. Respect to MD for not cutting the brothers off when things got heated. We can talk and respectfully disagree. The fact Sly was shuckin and jivin was was wild to me but it shows the many vast personalities of certain people of color. Willing to stand up to each other but not his own oppressing situation.

Henna Honey Check out the documentary on my page. We are here

@Adiel Ben Judah sounds good but we have to do for our selves instead of thinking all we gotta do is stand back and wait to be saved lol

We white people in Balkans are proud of you black and indian people in America but most of us have no oportunity to say it in public. We love you as you are. We are similar in many ways.

Beautiful ❤️. Thank you so much for sharing. Ali was a rare human being…RARE. Amazing that you had a moment with him. ❤️❤️❤️. Outstanding. #Love.

@@marciawright I had to share! It's just too amazing NOT to share! Of course as I get older, I appreciate the memory even more. It was a once-in-a-lifetime for us kids at school.

Great story!

Lucie c greate store nice

Unforgettable!!!!

Sly was high on something on that show tho. 😆

it is amazing isnt it. should be a theatre play

You haven't heard Ice Cube or Ice-T talk, obviously..... lol

The only one speaking any truth , was Muhammad Ali🖤❤️

​@@SuperOmnicronsj44They don't talk on a national talk show

You’re the same age as my mother. Yet my mother holds opposing beliefs I love that people exist front that generation that aren’t entirely trpaped

Don't forget back in them days it was banging Doris Day a middle-aged version of Martha Stewart well I swear white women no matter what age they are when they want some black dick they want some black dick I should know personally on this one oh yeah 😜😆

He was a racist

It seems like Ali was showing some signs of memory loss even then. So the fact that he was instructing upcomers to carefully consider boxing before getting involved.

Well he was being fake on this show with Sly trying to make him look bad

He ran away from Muhammad Ali Jr like a criminal leaving the scene of a crime after 911 has been called. Jr has had trouble his whole life. Greatest...? Not the greatest father.

I was born in 1952 so seen so many pluses over the years (in racial matters) but recently saw a YT comment section featuring comments by mixed race American children. It broke my heart and made me see we really have a long long way to go. All of us need to embrace the idea that we can be better people and discipline ourselves in that direction.

Made most sense? Like segregating people on the basis of skin color? Great athlete but he was wrong on this and he later knew that and in fact changed his belief.

@@cynthiawadeson8843 I agree with embracing the idea of being better people. I think because of how people have so thoroughly embraced the idea of race, we dont see ourselves as people, independent of racial ideology and identities. "Race" the ideology permeates our vocabulary. Its become central to our identity. It effects the way we think, see ourselves and view others. Until we stop speaking lies, we'll never be free from other peoples fabricated reality.

@@davida.4933 Making sense doesnt make it right. That doesnt make him wrong. How do you make sense of the way people treated other people in the evolution of the United States of Anerica as a nation. Its almost a miracle that some people not only survived but thrived. The struggle continues. As the truth gets told. As long as your not ashamed to be wrong admitbit and change. There is a chance. How many people, are personally willing to do that. Much less collectively as a nation. Most are trying to avoid the shame that sometimes comes with discovering lies once believed to be true.

@@davida.4933 I also can't go for any type of segregation--to me that's just a variation of the same old story--a sad one!

To the MAX.

Sly was HIGH as a kite and you can tell Muhammad was annoyed by that. Ali didn't tolerate that.

That's true😁..that guy sly really wanted to talk joke with Ali but Ali was too serious that day en maybe he didn't like that guy

Say more? Nah,Ali was ready to put on some work on him🥊

When was Ali not sober?

I totally agreed, Sly was a bit illiterate. He really didn't understand what was going on, so Ali kind of tried to keep from hurting his feelings and save the friendship but get his point across

Can somebody tell me why there was so much Tension btwn Ali & Sly

A lesson for all. Two are talking argument . One is talking ,learning can happen. Sly was on the job of trying to bring Ali down and confuse the issue. Ali the GOAT. Entertainer, thinker, lover, willing to speak truth to power. K.W., Jay, Floyd, Tiger W. What are they thinking? What are they doing? Let us come together and realize that there is a solution. Now!! You know who you are. Call you out by name next time. In honor of us all.

Didn't anybody catch Sly's statement, "You did mind fooling around when we were back stage?" I see them both saying the same thing; Sly in his music's words, Ali in his pointed statements of fact! The witness effect, 'we both say the same thing through different eyes. HUH?

@@timothypage3385 I think that was. Ali's point. He always tried to use his platform to inform first and entertain second. He took those opportunities seriously.

JMJ -K I wish I had that.

Theodore bikel?

and 2 live sly songs performed live! shit-- all in one show!

Lol it was the time

True indeed

The greatest. Noone ever came close. You are right. Once in a lifetime.

Ok, all due respect to you, humility is the word, humbleness is not a word.

Being on the verge of borderline retardation is not what I would define as intelligence.

Humility was not an attribute of Muhammad Ali. I used to have to spend lots of time in Children's Hospital in Oakland, California when I was a kid in the 1950s and 60s. Often celebrities' publicists arranged for them to come to the hospital to have PR photos taken of them sitting with and cheering up sick and otherwise hospitalized children, doing good turns and deeds. Every celebrity I ever saw visit spent time speaking and playing with the kids, except for Muhammed Ali. He was in and gone in less than 10 minutes, and didn't even say hello. When he left the kids talked about it, and the consensus among the children was that "He just came to get his picture taken".

Sly was good, Ali got whooped !

@@daveoliver5838 Sly stared Ali down and basically defeated him here. And hey, I think Ali was incredible, but not his/Elijah's idea races need to be segregated. Good grief, Ali even said (elsewhere) he agreed with George Wallace!

@@davida.4933 lol. U really think Ali ‘feared’ Sly in any way. That was his friend and he could see Sly was just too high. He was probably just disappointed in him

@@user-ew1xu4wq4k You hit the mail on the head. When Sly hugs Ali, Ali says something to him. I think he was already disappointed in what he was hearing and seeing with Sly. But when you watch this interview, it’s sad yet telling at the same time. Sly, which maybe a lot of people don’t know, was well educated and a college graduate. Ali, on the other hand isn’t very educated at this point, and as he has said on other interviews, couldn’t read past a 3rd or 4th grade level. So Sly is actually making a lot of valid points but because he’s high and saying things in I’ll say, “Hippie Lingo,” Ali doesn’t get his point. He’s actually talking over Ali’s head. But Ali during this whole segment is definitely pissed at Sly and everyone else is catching his wrath. You can tell with Sly’s eye contact before the break when he goes to sip his drink, and you can also hear when the show resumes that Ali is saying some things to Sly. This is really a case of two men being on two different levels of sophistication. One not really being educated and in a lot of ways at this point in life, being programmed, and the other being extremely educated and having complete understanding of the world-but he can’t be heard beyond his altered state by Ali.

@@dcott7071 wrong.

tom11zz884 Lmmfao!! I like the part when you said that Ali could have made Sky sober😂

And he let Sly keep what may have been left of his dignity!

Loved the way Ali kept his cool. Sly needed to go back to the plantation for the way he was acting.

@@thebellfamilybell2477 So true. It's so sad Sly didn't understand how silly he appeared.

Ali overreacted, he was much to serious when it was uncalled for. Referring to himself and Sly as niggas, no composure or tact.

He was wrong on segregation of the races and you do know he agreed with George Wallace, on this don't you?

@@davida.4933 He evolved from that view and many other views he believed earlier as a Muslim. That and George Wallace apologized and said he too was wrong and did so in a Southern Black Church.

Just came across this interview you are 100% right about Muhammad Ali

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

@@davida.4933 Was he wrong??! That remains to be seen.

Of course you did.

great story!! you're so lucky, love to hear all the ali encounter stories

You are a very lucky person to have met him l wish I would have .

Not only met, but shadow boxed with him for a couple of minutes. Priceless!

Wow that's amazing

Need to pick your heroes better.

You should smile more... we all should

It was definitely live, there’s too many awkward moments from Sly that they would have edited out

That's the Muhammad Ali story!

He was a real men, a men equal to 10 men! R.I.P ! Champion

ExtrovertedCenobite bebi

@@gamelikaleji1805 bebi? what is the meaning please?

@MrRamto13 Sly looked, sounded and acted the fool. Sad!

Maybe he was embarrassed.He was a stoner .Ali had pity for him.

@@avacatzepps6815 Sly wasn't embarrassed, he's an entertainer in the music industry. Music doesn't have color blinders, it enriches the soul without a fight. Ali was a man of message and among brother's they new and respected each others contributions. Love each other because we are all different...

Ali kept calm, the man Sly was embarrassing and drugged up.

He was on dope man. Too dumb to get the hint

Rachel Young if only he had stayed retired after the rumble in the jungle, he may not have gotten head injury.

@@TM-10-py7ji hindsight. And Ali had plenty expenses, including supporting wives, ex-wives, children and mistresses. Not to mention assorted leeches. Easy to say he should have retired in 1974, but Ali needed the money. Back then, there were no $200 million paydays like Mayweather earned. Ali's largest purse was under $10 million.

Richard Weiler lol 10 million USD in them days had the value of 100 million today.

@@suhaylali2917 I don't know exactly how you arrived at your number (guessing?) but you're a bit off. When Ali received his largest purse in 1980 for the Holmes bout, his nearly $10 million paycheck, adjusted for today, would be worth about $32 million in current dollars. That's according to the revered Consumer Price Index. Not exactly chump change, but far from the kind of money Mayweather would climb into the ring for. Ali is estimated to have earned about $60 million in his entire 20 year career. That's about $188 million in today's dollars, or about $62 million short of what Mayweather earned for just one routine night against Connor McGregor. Make no mistake, Ali was a well paid athlete in his day. But his expenses, along with the needs of those associated with him, ate up the bulk of Ali's fortune. It's why he still was fighting at the age of nearly 40, when most of his skills were gone and the onset of disease was already apparent.

Sly was trash

...like my Baby sister...1989...you BOTH...missed OUT'''''

Sly was high on life...and was a happy person...I enjoyed him...he was playing around and messing up a little .but that's sly..always have luv and respect for him...he's still alive and well. Going to start doing some music again.. can't wait for that...

@@elizabethmoran5045 No he was high on drugs.You can't see that?

@@bobbyz23 what i mean to say is no need to dis him.. he is a great music icon..no need to bring him down and disrespect him he never hurt anybody. He was having fun enjoying the moment. Ali may have been a little disturbed like a brother just cutting up a little. And he understood that about Sly...he let him be. Love sly...and I was laughing with him ..not laughing at him thin king he was a bother....and he is alive!!!...we still have him to enjoy!!

@@bobbyz23 I Don't know or care whether sly was stoned or not. He's an entertainer on an entertainment show. I love Mohammed Ali but I thought he was being rude to sly implying he was phony, tee hee hee he says sarcastically. It's the Mike Douglas entertainment show not Meet The Press.

high high highhhhh. I heard he was in the streets....homeless.This was years ago...He is a very talented man,hope he gets his act together.

Verbally or physically

don't sly know Ali hit mofos 5 times b4 they even know they been hit

@@71donkrider 😆😆😆😆.

Really? Ali seemed like a racist dickhead in this clip. All he's doing is citing his idiot religeon. You know, the one that killed Malcolm X. Ali was being a simple minded cartoonish fool here. I like Ali, seriously, but there's no need to worship the guy. He made his share of mistakes and was as self centered as a breying jackass. I don't respect his thinking in fact I don't believe he really was thinking - just another entertainer like Sly Stone was imo. This is what I hear....... Ali: "All these people dancing and singing. It's phoney. I'm a serious man. I make my living punching people in the brain. That's serious work. Everybody praise me. Sly, all you do is write songs, dance and make people smile. I'm a serious man. I punch people in the face with shorts on and then I show up on some TV show and say racist stuff for no fucking reason, whenever I feel like it. I'm the GREATEST. " You like that shit? I don't. I prefer Sly's approach any day.

Sly knew he caught Muhammad in a trap. Ali is all about ‘black unity’ and black people not being made out as ‘clowns’ by the white man, both he’d be countering and making himself look weak and hypocritical.

@DJ Evis no, never.

Nothing has changed in this country and the black race is still enslaved.

Um... Ali fought black men on TV for a living?

@@0LabRat00 but at least they were in his weight division. Sly Stone is a weenieweight.

@@richardweiler3966 You pay Ali his fee and he' d fight anyone, anytime, any condition. He fought at least one fight with advanced Parkinson's. The man didn't give a fuck....

Yeah, I caught that too...he could have saved that for backstage though. No matter how honest people are, when they're on tv, they're performing for a mass audience (at least it used to be), so I can't see any upside in calling out Ali when he's doing good work. Sly didn't want everything to be political, but everything is political, especially calling out Ali on national television...IMHO...

@@dylanemeraldgrey exactly. Especially when they're using anagrams to enslave a people that have updated their articulation of the English language. It sounds pretty pathetic tbh how these whites tried to enslave these people or any people for that matter

😂😂😂😂😂 Sly was really just Sly

When did he say that

Sly was high as a kite, enuff said.

So because you're a White man ,Mr.Ali couldn't be a role model to you ???

@@christinekelly7769 My struggle as a white man is different than his. His struggle is not a white man's struggle. White people are not the role models for black people & vice versa. JMO

@@claythomas530 Well I guess we can agree that we disagree because your words were role model you didn't mention not one time the word "struggle".In your first paragraph.I totally agree with about our struggles ,(African Americans) are totally different then anyone else's in the World.Not just North America, But in Great Britain,South Africa, it is said the darker your skin is in South America the worse treatment you get .So I do understand those struggles such as the employment,he housing ,the education,the judicial.The way the system is set up by White government that is structured for who ...their own.I get that but as far a role model that could be of any race.Ali had friends of all races,creeds, religions but what knew and spoke against was the racism that some White Americans practiced and still practice till this day .White People marched with Dr.King so that why I feel the words struggle & role model are totally different.Myself as an African American woman I can still have a White Role Model such as a white doctor with a personal name or white car dealership owner with a personal name not all white people practice racism .

@@christinekelly7769 Ali's role model was Elijiah Muhammed & Malcolm X. His role models were black, as they should be. Ali was right when he said, "White people & black people like different music, food, culture, art etc..." I agree with him. My role models are mostly white. White music artists, Henry Rollins, Al Di Meola, Uli Jon Roth, mostly white artists, I'm a musician. I like some black artists too, however, I wouldn't call them role models for myself. I can't relate to Tupac, Kanye West, Beyonce, & hip hop in general. There's nothing wrong with it, I just can't relate to it & I don't like it. I like rock, classical, country, things most black people don't like or can relate to. I know not all whites or blacks feel the way I do but I think most people like what they can relate to. It has nothing to do with racism. There are always exceptions to the rule. My role models are people I can relate to, & they happen to be White. If I was black, my role model or role models would most likely be black. Sure, there are some White people that act more black than white, & some black people that act more White than black. However, there's nothing wrong with relating to your own race, & having role models in your own race. You're right, not all whites are racist but a lot of them are. I think a lot of blacks are racist too & they have good reason to be. I'm afraid racism will always be around.

@@claythomas530 That was then Ali lived much longer than Elijah Muhammad now if you want to get down to it Malcolm X was there before Ali until he found out that the honorable Muhammad was not so honorable .Elijah Muhammad took Malcolm under his wings he seen something special in Malcom at an early age .Ali didn't come into until himself and Malcolm X hooked up .So actually X was more of a radical and that's what attracted Ali to the Muslim Culture via" X" not Elijah Muhammad.If that's the case Sam Cooke was his man too they actually made a record together.but look at the time when this is occurring today in2022 We have role models in all forms and fashion.Again as I said we both can agree not to agree .It actually comes down what a person seeks out in a person .

Yes sly was probably high on some sort of drug, but how do you know Michael Douglas didn't just have a drink. Sly was completley with it the whole time, you are just too lazy to understand what he was saying and its easier to just believe the narrative that drugs are bad and don't listen to people on drugs, even though Micheal douglas probably had a few drinks and maybe even some uppers or caffiene to keep himself focused. it is sad to see what years of misuse of drugs from ill gotten sources have done to him, but in this interview he is totally with it, just comming from a different culture and talking with a different language than what you're accustomed to. This was in the late 60s and early 70s when human consciousness, love and traditional values were more in the front of people's minds than money. The youth tossing off the 50s, suspenders and collared shirt with uncomfortable brown pants in 90 degree weather, and picking up ideas from the aboriginals who were on the land before they were. Because they knew the aboriginals had been there for thousands of years and were doing fine, meanwhile the society they were in that claimed to be so much better, was so blatantly corrupt and on a clear path to destruction. (Fast forward 50 years and look where we're at now, thousands of armed and ready nuclear missiles around the globe, global warming, terrorism, collapsing economy, an infrastructure so weak it can't handle a simple epidemic which was easily foreseen by people with knowledge of history and pandemics and viruses. And people were being sent to die in gruesome jungle warfare against gurilla forces that knew the land like the back of their hand... So to those who think sly was off his rocker and Ali was so intelligent, well I would say Ali was a little behind the times. And where sly is saying let's all just focus on enjoying now and making positive change, Ali is taking a divisive Stance. And what happens is an argument of counter opposing talking points, and sly realizes that it aint gonna change anything, its just going to create annomosity, and its positive interactions, for example sharing music and dancing, that allow people to become exposed to the same sort of information the other side has been getting. And take it further, if people were to be positive and act with pure intention towards one another, people would be more willing to hear criticism on their sides point of view. And then Sly shows the boxer, the TV personality and the author what true power is when he gets everyone up out of their seats with his funky beats! Thats real power.

100%

Sly got Ali good with “WHere do you live” line. He’s exposed sone of Alis hypocrisy. I live Alu but he’s not the first black man to profit from the Whyte man whil preaching black power

I think sly came off better than Ali in this. Your only praising Ali because it's the most common thing to do. Or you didn't watch the interview all the way through.

It's been five decades and we're still in this same loop. "we need time to research" is the excuse the government gives time and again for any kind of reparations. TBH I didn't know they were running that same play in Ali's time either until he mocked them. Time for talk is over. What blacks need is a revolution. And first of the mind.

No question. It is sad to watch the sober clean living Ali juxtaposed to Sly. Sly is clearly bombed out of his mind.

@@jaeboston9228 are Guyanese???

Putting these two on the same show was done purposely. White folks have always sought to keep us clashing and enjoy watching the Sly behaviors in us, to water down or dilute the message of an Ali. This was done on purpose. SMH.

There you go. But also get to know the Savior of your soul Jesus.

Talk shows were great back then.

Please don't let it stop and remain in the past.....He will always remain relevant to us and our children's children no one like HIM...49 years later and it sounds like today

Although he was high it's not right to Judge him that Brother had alot of Issues to deal with. So sad his life ended not knowing Jesus!

You missed the key statement. Ali told Sly "I'm not here to clown."

@@RoyalTea70 Sly Stone is definitely still among the living.

That line had no relevance to the argument being made of why Ali doesn’t want to enter into Politics. His reasoning because he would be only for black people and that wouldn’t be right for a position where his responsibility would need to be for all people. He also said he would hope one day after achieving his first goal, that he could then be for all people. Where he was born and lives has nothing to do with that and was simply the ramblings of cocaine

Philadelphia for sure, Mike did a lot in his community nobody knows about helped some so they would not be hurt .

@@srfotog I don't think Ali hated anyone. He lived his life with a wink and a smile, but spoke his true mind on America's shameful biased issues and he did it unapologetically. That was Muhammad Ali!
