Taking a step back...and enjoying it
This is being played a lot at my house lately. Charlie has discovered funk. He asked me the other day if I'd ever heard of Sly and the Family Stone. Yeah, he honestly asked me that. I told him that this was the sort of stuff I was listening to when everyone else was listening to rock and heavy metal. He asked me why I'd never introduced him to it. LOL. He's lovin' funk now. I told him these were a couple of my favorites, he looked them up on itunes, and I've heard them a lot the last couple of days. Remember I grew up in a conservative white (klan county) community. No wonder I am the way I am. :)
Sly and the Family Stone
*note toward the end of video when the audience comes on stage; the white guy in the blue shirt and white pants. Even if you don't like the music, the video is worth watching for this guy. :)

Glad you're enjoying it :)
Wes ~ it's fun watching your kid find something you grew up with, lol. I'm enjoying that. :) And...it is sorta fun hearing this old stuff again.
Classic (and groovy)!
LOL The guy at the end of the video is hilarious.
I kinda dance like that!
Love 'em! I heard of these songs, but my husband grew up with them. He's a real music buff so he can tell you when a song play pretty much who it is and when it came out. An amazing talent!
Congratulations on Charlie gettin' turned on to some old school music.
Oh Lord...this brings back memories! Dance to the Music was so DANCEABLE...I loved that song.
My personal favorite of theirs is A family affair.
