I thought the same thing today so I posted it to Facebook. EVERYDAY PEOPLE (most black and most white families) just want to live together in peace and harmony but the politicians continually try to divide us. Remember the good we did as united everyday people during the days when Rev. King walk this planet.
@@hockemeyer1 You said what I was just thinking, have been thinking for quite awhile. I remember Dr. King, JFK, RFK and many others who gave us pause to think about who we are as a people, and where we were going as a nation. Look at our world and this nation today. It's a mess. I wonder if this sweet taste of music could be brought back to help remind us what we all need, and what it is that really matters. Lord, have mercy; I am 'everyday people.' ❤️ ✌️ ❤️ 👍
Love you the King of Lovee, The best...Mr. SLY STONE. May you live to 120 years old. Class act in my generation. since 1970 you gave so much to all............G-d bless you.
They were! I am feeling blessed that I was in Southern California until almost six. We moved to Texas and all hell broke lose. My dad was in the military. I am a product of the 1970s, a interracial couple who listen to rhythm and blues. Living on base there was equality. I didn’t hear the degrading things about race until I was 13. Sly’s outfits, Afros and strong African American men were acceptable. To a point at least. I wonder if rap was invented to stop the development of R&B. I like some rap but you got to admit. There isn’t anyway to develop a JIMI, PRINCE or MJ out of the raps tees.
I have linked this song with the lyrics version on more than one blog in 2021. WTF has happened to us? This song is such a simple lesson but it IS FREAKING PROFOUND!
This song is one of the most inspiring songs of its time and they are still performing it so well especially with his words. It needs to be heard all over the world. I am soooo reposting this on FB and anywhere I can. Thanks for posting it. :D
Wow! She was truly a member of "the family" As soon as I saw her, I thought, "she's got to be the original female trumpet player from 1966!" That's loyalty.
How can anyone hit the dislike on this😳 This is a all time classic and still reality from what was going on in the 60's and still going on. I guess some ppl just dont get the nessage and never will.. (just miserable)
apparently I am the second one🤣. I was brought up with that funky shit and so much more. i understand your point of you! a stand up for donny hattaway as well and so many more!! 👌That music will NEVER EXIST AGAIN!!!! so let's dance!💥
Brother singing all the parts from Sly, Freddie, to Larry Graham but it something we’ll always remember. Saw them in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my sisters and one of my brothers. It was the Riverfront Casino about 2009. They still rocked the house and got to see Cynthia Robinson playing her trumpet with Jerry playing his sax. Simply incredible.

interesting in that b4 Cynthia Robinson died a few months back, Sly & the Family Stone was 1 of the rare '60s bands whose original members were all still alive in '15
Just hold that groove down. This has got to be the best bass and drum grooves out there and most recognizable I might add. Also...who is that young girl singin? She is work'in it! I love this song even more now that I've seen this live performance. A+ . Cheers from Canada.
I don't know what is with Cynthia that alwsys gets to me. Its not she was Dizzy Gillespie on the horns. But she just emitted soul through ever pore. And her voice was so joyous and musical. Damn, I guess I was a fanboy that not just loved her roll in the band. I probably had a thing for her. She was so full of life. RIP soul sister.
