Yes - that's Larry Graham, the originator of the "slap" style of bass playing, adding "some bottom".

I'd rather hear some James Brown.  This is just too commercial sounding.

If this song doesn't get you up out of your chair you must be dead.  


Thank you for adding it to the playlist.......a great antidote to the tedious cassio electronic dance music of today!

Saw Sly in Tanglewood, MA early on - late over an hour, played for the honkies for half-an-hour.

I always heard that to be (bottom) - it is a baritone voicing, after all, no?

Here's the story: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/the_rise_and_fall_of_sly_stone_qijyKoYzmAqer1PA0YogSJ/2

On Bootsy Collins' Facebook it was recently posted that Sly now had an apartment, that people in the neighbourhood were looking after him, and that he was doing better. However the subtext was that he was somehow mentally ill. Send him your thoughts and prayers... and kindly remember Jim Morrison would have been 68 this year. And you'll get old and stupid too, if you're lucky.

We were deeply bummed when he didn't show for his set at Coachella 2010; it was a farce- the whole band is there tuning, sounding really hot, and then walked off. The little 16-year old stonies were weeping which I saw as kind of a tribute to the Man. I sorta was weeping too. I did see Sly in Madison Square Garden in about '71, what a KICKASS show- one of the best big-arena shows I've ever seen.

reading in one of the Woodstock books recently how everyone had settled down to sleep Saturday night in their sleeping bags after (can you imagine?) two harrowing days of partying; but that Sly and Family brought everyone to their feet in an orgy of dancing and togetherness.pretty powerful. (I don't remember which Woodstock book i just read this in, sorry.)
The Who played right after...

Agreed. I personally rate LOTS of songs 1 or 2, but that's not because I'm racist, it's because I'm a music snob. If it doesn't appeal to my sensibilities, I rate it as such. One of the (many) beautiful things about RP is that songs are rated by everyone who cares to. We arrive at a kind of consensus. I end up often in the minority, but that's fine with me. I have my opinion and you have yours.

This white, southern man happens to like Sly.

p.s. My momma IS a racist.
