#SlyAndTheFamilyStone was an American band from San Francisco. Active from 1966 to 1983, it was pivotal in the development of #funk, #soul, rock, and psychedelic music. Its core line-up was led by singer-songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and included Stone's brother and singer/guitarist Freddie Stone, sister and singer/keyboardist Rose Stone, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Greg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and bassist Larry Graham. It was the first major American rock group to have a racially integrated, male and female lineup.
Formed in 1966, the group's music synthesized a variety of disparate musical genres to help pioneer the emerging "psychedelic soul" sound. They released a series of Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits such as "Dance to the Music" (1968), "Everyday People" (1968), and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" (1969), as well as critically acclaimed albums such as Stand! (1969), which combined pop sensibility with social commentary. In the 1970s, it transitioned into a darker and less commercial funk sound on releases such as There's a Riot Goin' On (1971) and Fresh (1973), proving as influential as their early work. By 1975, drug problems and interpersonal clashes led to dissolution, though Sly continued to record and tour with a new rotating lineup under the name "Sly and the Family Stone" until drug problems forced his effective retirement in 1987.
The work of Sly and the Family Stone greatly influenced the sound of subsequent American funk, pop, soul, R&B, and hip hop music. Music critic Joel Selvin wrote, "there are two types of black music: black music before Sly Stone, and black music after Sly Stone". In 2010, they were ranked 43rd in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and three of their albums are included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

In the Fall of 1967, I was a freshman at UC Berkeley. Sly was still living in his hometown, Vallejo, CA,. He had a Saturday afternoon radio show at the SF Bay Area station KDIA. I tuned in each Saturday. He released the single of Dance to the Music while he was working there. I was listening the very Saturday he announced his last show; due to the overwhelming success of Dance to the Music, he'd be going on tour. I was crushed that he wouldn't be doing the show, the very pinnacle of my Saturday afternoons, but thrilled for the band's success. So, I loved Sly Stone long before he blew up. I listened to every Sly Stone album I had every single day, and imagined the band playing those songs, L-I-V-E, with me in the audience straight grooving.

Its a beautiful thing watching Sly's niece Lisa look at him while hes singing with tremendous love, pride and admiration what a huge treat this is to anyone who grew uo with this message of love as a part of sound track to their life. 💞🌹🎶🎵🎶🌹💞
I've not seen this before. Very hard to watch. A superstar addict in plain sight. So sad. I was in a band in the 70's we opened for Sly in San Jose,Ca. He was two hours late and could not play. Totally smashed and incoherent. Surprised he is still alive. As a recovering alcoholic. I know the dance. God Bless him and care for him. Incredible band.

I had no TV until I was 4, 5 yr s old I was gifted a record player at age 5 by my neighbor. A suitcase record player. It was 1969 ish. My Dad played all genres of music all the time. Music was our house. I wanted Sly and the Family Stone Music for Christmas. He got me the Album. Fast Forward, Me age 15. Prince entered my Ear. He I follow to this day even so he was taken from us. To know that Sly and the Family were his inspiration it all fits, it's not a puzzle, it's real. The amount of joy can't be measured, all I have is gratitude - I thank you.
I was two years old when Sly and da Family Stone came out I believe in 1966 my mom and dad played Family Affair so much because in those days there were actually family’s..I love all of the Stone Family and Band Family music🎧 “purE jewelS💎✨💫
See what happens when you write tunes like Dance To The Music and Wanna Take You Higher with skill and talent…the songs NEVER GROW OLD!!! We are STILL jumping up and dancing when these classics are played!!! Man!!! This sounds beyond great!!!
When I first heard Dance To The Music in the 7th Grade I went nuts like EveryOne else. I was 13. I'm 68 now, still loving this, and still a Performing Musician mySelf. Rock on.

Everyone can love share and enjoy it in the same room, no matter the culture. It brings people together in a good way!

I'm PROUD to say I saw Sly & The Family Stone in 1968 at the Miami High Lye Fron Ton .These Cats know how to Get Down, they have Funk , Rock , & mostly Soul like nobody's business. At that time in the music business nobody gave you this kind thrill. These guys delivered a show that is definitely impressed in my memory. Today if you were to go see a show like the one I saw in 1968 ...well let's just say that it would cost you a whole weeks pay. I believe it only cost me twenty bucks, BAMM that's what I'm talking about. Thank You Sly and the Family Stone for the big Dose of Funk & Soul in 1968. God bless you all. Peace to all everywhere.

I was lucky in Summer of 1967 to see this band play after hours (2-6am) in a funky club in San Mateo, CA, just a few months before they hit it big. My musician friends and I were literally blown away. They played for four hours straight! There were bar fights and even a short power outage, but nothing stopped this band. Definitely destined for greatness!

Not by anyone who knows what's what in the least they weren't. Jeff, I am 59 first time I jumped around like crazy was to "Music Lover" my parents were playing it in 1969. Last night my wife and my kids and I were jumping and dancing to it 53 years later (by the way it gets better with Sly and time) I think they are recognized as one of the greatest. Where I think they got slighted was their individual talent. Larry was acknowledged and of course, deserved it. Sly changed everything. But I feel Freddy played wonderfully smooth and Errico had beyond blue-eyed soul in his funky amazing playing. Cynth. and Jerry was like having 12 horns, especially when a trombone sat in with them. To me, it gets no better than this band from about 66-71, lot of great music in those years, and some changed things for the better Silvester Srewarts words and music changed everything and always for the better.We need to celebrate his genius more while we still have him here,wether he wants us to or not! Thanks for the love Family Stone.

Bands like Sly & Company sang about *UNITY.* Among races.. cultures, styles of existing. Listening to their concert and feel like you've left a good preaching service. *Good for the soul.* Sadly.. bands like this are things of the past. UNLESS--- someone steps up and decides to make it cool again. Wish they would. Black music of the 50's-60's & 70's.. I loved. Even prior.. of course, the Jazz players. I am at least glad to see Sly perform here. Last I saw Sly, he was living in a small trailer and could barely speak. Seems he has pulled himself up.. with lots of help. God Bless The Sly.

As a complete music junkie for the past 60 plus years, I think that Sly & The Family Stone were one of the most unique bands around. They were one of a small handful with their own unique style and sound and it was all because of Sly Stones musical genius as a composer and arranger and master of the band. It's great to see Sly still making music.
Always and forever will be my favorite hero, I love this band, individual and collective!, I never judged , so called conduct, they sent me to a human life! Love always to Sly Stone!
Sly still had a beautiful voice this voice. Thank God he won the lawsuit from those who defrauded him.

Thank you. I even got up and danced for a couple of minutes, at the beginning. That's saying a lot, for this 68 year old fool. Thank you.
I love you SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE!!! I used to work with SLY Jr in Chatsworth SFVCalifornia ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏✌️✌️
Why are those gorgeous ladies so shy at the beginning?? They are ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!!! 🌹🌹🌹
Sly Stone's band still has the funk. I'm at work with my earbuds in jamming and I can't wait to get home so I can jam with the band on my Yamaha 7pcs drumset.

That's what I was saying. She's the innovator during that time. A woman playing a trumpet. Out of sight 🤣🤣🤣😊😊👍

She was such a BOSS. Hardly ever missed a note back in day, she was so good. With only one trumpet, ain't no place to hide either.
Thank you sly and the family Stone! Those we're the best times weren't they! it was all about peace and love and great musicians no matter what race you were we all accepted each other and the variety of music. It was a different generation old school I call it a generation that goes on and on we'll still keep our ways that was the best gen. ☮️✌️🕊️✝️🙏❤️ Peace & love
Seen Family Stone Foxwoods casino. They played FAMILY AFAIR. The audience went silent they took the whole room to another level. It was great
I'm so glad I ran into this. I felt like I was in the room at the concert. This music took me back to when my Afro was sharp!! Love Sly Stone and the Family forever!!
This is incredible footage. As he sang, you could see Sly re-discover the love and passion he has for these songs. That passion may have gone dormant with the years of wear and tear, but it never left him - music is in his veins.

At one point, looked as if he was reading the lyrics - when they were singing Family Affair.😀 Oh, he IS reading lyrics - caught him for sure when they were performing STAND. He even lost his place and couldn't get the lyrics out on the beat.
An amazing concert .This man was a source of inspiration for a whole generation.Included for a giant like Prince.The family affair’s version is incredible.
this family has just way to much talent...God love them all.....Love you Rose....And may our dear cynthia rest now...may God rest her loving soul
Good to see you again Sly
The man is a Survivor! (RIP Cynthia) Nice to see some of the other members still active.
Sly Stone musical genius! Loved this band so so much !!! They don’t make this kind any more
Sly sounds great!!
My Hero, Sly Stone. Big part of my life having fun.
I miss the scatting that used to be in the music in the 60s and 70s. Was awesome to hear that on family affair.
Sly is great! The ladies can sing.👍💯
I went to sleep with a Sly Stone video and woke up to slight singing, "If you want me to stay" and my screen had gone dark. I knew it was live and I said to myself, Wow Sly sounds the same as the record. When I rewound the video and saw this was 2008, I watched in tears! No words!
This is the best concert Ive seen in years! Sly and the family stone. I have all their music. Their music are masterful and funky!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
