Sly is a true musical genius, you can also thank Larry Graham for the bass slap funk licks that are everywhere in today’s music 😎
Pioneers of the slap bass: Larry Graham & Louis Johnson (Brothers Johnson)
These guys contributed to the advancement of bass guitar as lead instrument, not just a supporting instrument.@@KathySandru
@@user-ut7bs9cf6u Larry Graham swooned Asia when they played Larry's song, 'One in a Million You'!
Graham is drakes uncle,apple not far from tree.😊
After many years of tension between Graham and frontman Sly Stone, he left Sly and the Family Stone in 1972, when a post-concert brawl broke out between the Graham and Sly when rumours spread that Larry had hired a hit man to kill Sly.

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their “Dance To The Music” !!!!
Ya'll should have been there back in the day to vibe with Sly and the Family Stone. Today's "so-called music" will make you want to "time travel" back to the past and never come back to the future. 😂 Today's music is "whack." 😢
P.S. Sly and the Family Stone is one of the greatest bands to ever exist! Take note!
🎸🎷🎺🎶🎤🎶🎸🎷🎺
You guys! The world needs more relationships like the one you share. Please keep digging on Sly & The Family Stone. This was a perfect place to start. “Stand” is thinking peoples’ music. And their set at Woodstock at around 3 a.m., urgently singing and playing “I Want to Take You Higher.” They knew how to wake everybody up and get them moving! Thank you for this one.
Greatest performance with such a big crowd ever.he woke up all those hippies and had them dancing in the mud😀
Absolutely one of my all time favorite American bands. Prince definitely agreed.
I got to see Larry Graham play with Prince at the Forum!
Yup I’ve seen interviews with Prince and he credits Sly as being a big influence. This is just an amazing piece of funk work.
BJ is very close on this; the breakdown was sampled by Jam and Lewis for Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson, the title track of her 1988 smash album Rhythm Nation 1814. This funk is on another level, giving rise to Parliament, Funkadelic and Bootsy, and many others.
I love Jimmy and Terry but it was a blatant ripoff.
@@feldspar3858 Jimmy has always given credit to sly stone for using that sample. It really helped to lift Janet's rhythm nation to the next level!
@@keithroberts4952 - I know. Was just pointing it out to Asia and BJ.
@@feldspar3858 Wasn't a rip off. It's a literal sample during a time when sampling technology in hip-hop was becoming more groundbreaking (see Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation of Millions... and De La Soul 3 Feet High & Rising). Jam and Lewis were tuned in to the scene and also wanted to give props to Sly. They also paid for the sample.
@@keithmurphy5356 - I KNOW. It’s been pointed out and I have said it’s more of a tribute. Calm your fucking horses!!!
Joel Selvin wrote, "there are two types of black music: black music before Sly Stone, and black music after Sly Stone".
Upon its February 1968 release, "Dance to the Music" became a widespread ground-breaking hit, and was the band's first charting single, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
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.
Oh my goodness! I wore their albums out! You should do more! Dance to the music, Stand, You can make it if you try, and my favorite, Higher. I was in middle school, and these songs bring back great memories! Thanks.
M'lady
Great band from the 60's-80's. Their sound was a mixture of funk, soul, rock & psychedelic music. They had a lot of hits such as "Dance To The Music", "Everybody Is A Star", "Sing A Simple Song", "Family Affair", "Remember Who You Are", "Stand" "I Want To Take You Higher" etc.
Best summer chill song “Hot Fun in the Summertime”
I agree! Didn't add it to my list as they reacted to that song a while back. @@KathySandru
Facts!! I grew with this.. 💯 it will keep you in a gud vibe 24/7. Funky
James started the funk then sly took over & look out sly was great...he also put the message songs out like James... Sly is really missed!!! We really need sly today!!!
One of the greatest funk songs of all time. Sly was a super talent, and Larry Graham slapping that amazing bass line. This is the real deal.
Always loved this song. Sly & The Family Stone were FIRE.
One of my Favs by them. Other's of theirs I like: Stand__I Want To Take You Higher__It's A Family Affair__Everyday People__Hot Fun in the Summertime__If You Want Me To Stay.
The 70's was a musical paradise!! #Classic🎶🎵🎼🔥🔥🔥👌
......I saw these guys many years after this song was a hit in a bar in Toronto called the Gaslight. I was about 10 feet from the stage and I saw this band !!! They looked good and Sly was healthy and they did an awesome show !!! 🤯
One of the first albums I ever bought. And all these years later, still a fav. Still have it. Bringin' the funk. Thanks for this.
Love it! I still have this album that they are showing...One of my faves by them is called Stand..Such great memories!
"The Jam" by Graham Central Station, which features Larry Graham the bass player for Sly. y'all gots to check it out 😎
Yes! Finally someone who knows and appreciates that group.🎉😊
Oh yeah, the jam!
Pure classic funk from the Family Stone 🔥 gotta hear, "Family Affair" - another major hit and totally "relatable." 🤣👍 Larry Graham on bass - his group, Graham Central Station did a jam featuring each instrument that would blow your minds - and then he can switch to the smooth as butter ballad that I believe you reviewed called "One in a Million You." 😉🔥🔥💕
Sly Stone was a musical genius and innovator…
I went to a concert to see sly and the family Stone in 1969, he was top of the charts and the place was sold out. He was an hour late starting the show. Back then they were known to be late so it wasn’t some thing that we didn’t know. But once he got on the stage with that band nobody cared that he was late!
Nobody sat down, everybody sang along with the songs and he was out there telling everybody let’s do it sing it loud I wanna hear you… Great performers back in the day😊
Bassist Larry Graham pretty much invented popping and slapping, and this is the first tune in pop music history to feature it.
They really kicked some ass at Woodstock
“Funky without no deodorant” 💯 Oh and let’s give this jam its full respect: the official title is “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)”. ✌🏽
My dad played this band so much that I'd bet I know every word to every song ,lol. Great stuff.
Sly Stone is a genius. Funk music would never have been if not for 1. James Brown and 2. Sly. Sly deserves a deep dive. Check out Stand, Everyday People, Dance To the Music, Everybody Is A Star, Hot Fun In the Summertime, Somebody’s Watching You, Sing A Simple Song, I Want To Take You Higher. Those are just for starters.
Part of this song was sampled by Jimmy jam and Terry lewis for Janet Jackson's song Rhythm Nation. The first song to ever feature the slap bass technique pioneered by Larry Graham.
Sly and the Family Stone was a party! Got to meet them in Detroit in 68 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. They were all so sweet and the show....a pure high. Thanks for this reaction.
I'm an old school funk musician, and I tell y'all how it fills me with such joy to see you kids enjoying your musical heritage like this; the feeling is just undescribable 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤. Sly stone, and of course: James Brown. They were the ones who really kicked off the funk era. Over the years we just got funkier and funkier. Just like the young man said: that funk was all the way funky, without any deodorant. Unapologetically funky 🫢🫢
Really, Sly and The Family Stone are the precursor and innovator of the "funk sound" that ruled the late 60s through 80s. EVERY group that had a hard baseline, brass, looked at this group! And more impressive, is how they were and still are the most diverse group of musicians!!
Sly & TFS were one of the best bands of the 60s-70s. "Stand!" "Everybody is a Star," "Dance to the Music!!!!!!"
Great 60s-70s band
This was my favorite band from that time period. The music was great on the radio and better when you see them perform.
Drake's uncle Larry Graham sang and played Bass for Sly Stone before forming Graham Central Station.
BANGIN'!!! Sly & The Family Stone have alot of great songs. Thank you both.❤
Sly, with Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Issac Hayes, George Clinton , Curtis Mayfield, Kool and the Gang, Commadores. The Funk Nation, oh and Bootsy Collins
Glad more people are listening to this type of music. Good music transcends age. A five year old can like this just like a 70 year old can like today's music. All it takes is going into the experience with an open mind and heart
Love me some Sly and The Family Stone!!❤ Just another song we would jam to all night long. And yes, on vinyl!! Others have already recommended other songs by them. So hope to hear more. Loved the reaction guys! Ya'll just crack me up!😂
Yeah now!! Taking me back to my wild and free days. 😂. That break sounds a lot like some of Janet Jackson’s 80s Rhythm Nation funk. My guess is she was influenced by Sly.
Love this funky tune 😊 was there when it was a hit the first time!
When I was a kid. I would take whole afternoons listening to all kinds of music, but what I really like about the Sly and the family Stone was they had a female on trumpet. Cynthia Robinson became my hero, even if I couldn't play an instrument.
Great reaction! Highly recommend Dance To The Music and also I Want To Take You Higher! They are great.
Oh kids! (Ya'll are like 2-4 years younger than me so, there you go) I have been on a Sly and the Family Stone kick for the past 2 weeks. I always knew them, but now I love them. They are right up there for best band ever.
This was my jam🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are a great group, very popular in the 70s. Check out "Dance to the Music" and "I want to take you higher."
Guitarist is the great larry Graham, also known as drake's uncle. apple not far from tree 😅.
Saw these guys at Madison Square Garden in the early, early 70's. Wore my bell bottoms & my platform shoes (even though I'm 6'-4" in bare feet!). Two of my other favorite Sly tracks are "M'Lady" & "I Ain't Got Nobody, For real".
And amazingly, this song is......get ready for it...... 54 years old! It topped the charts in January of 1970.
some of the lyrics in this song are titles of their other songs, "Everyday People", "Sing a Simple Song", "You Can Make It If You Try". On the vinyl I have of this song it's "Thandufalettinmebemicelf"
Good groove, good vibe
You just can’t help but grooooove to this song!!
😝😁😘🔥💕😎💯 THANK YOU 👍!!! FOR PLAYING THIS AMAZING JAM! LAST TIME I HEARD IT! WAS IN THE MOVIE SHREK 😂
Still have my albums. "Everybody is a Star" is a beautiful one. "Everyday People", so many gems!
Funky. One of my all time favorite bands. Sadly never saw them in concert. Sly Stone was the master of slick.
Edgar Winter - Frankenstein - Live video. Talent.
Sinatra - That's Life.
Steely Dan - Peg, Babylon Sisters, Kid Charlemagne, FM ( No Static ), I Got the News.
Last I heard about Sly Stone he was homeless living out of a van on the streets of LA. One of his background singers was Rudy Love from my home town of Wichita Kansas. I think Wichita residents always held Sly and his family dear to our hearts. 😁👍✌️💯
Love Every day people.On Prom nite in the very early 70's i had the best hits of Sly and was a jamin
3:15 love the "With no Deodorant" , B.J..But The Ohio players on a jam called Funky Worm go one better: "Like 9 cans of shaving powder" Props to Sly and Co for being one of funk's pioneers..Only other cat I remember doing it like that at the time was James Brown.
Wow an on time notification. This old lady loves this!
Enjoy!
Criminally under rated.
Sly and the Family Stone are cool! They're a Woodstock band too! 😊💙🎼✌️
I forgot about this one ❤ love sly and you guys 🤩
Funky 🔥I Danced Myself thru the 60's , 70's, & 80's . Music was So Much Fun 👌 I'm 68 yrs. Ole., This is Jack's Wife.
Love it!!
Thank you!
This song is from 1970. Janet Jackson sampled it for Rhythm Nation. Along with James Brown & George Clinton, Sly was one of the 3 foundational pillars of the genre. Bassist Larry Graham was the pioneer of slapping & popping the bass.
To continue the hard funk trend, I'd recommend their "I Want To Take You Higher" (1969).
Recognize the bridge? Janet Jackson” sampled it on “Rhythm Nation”
Sly and the Family Stone was a staple in our house. One song by them, that doesn't get requested enough is Eveybody Is A Star. Beautiful song.
Classic bass line! If you can find someone who lets you be yourself, hold onto them!
Type of jam that makes bass sound fun.
A big quick thumbs-up. This is my guy from way back. I have his complete collection, posters and t shirts. I've requested this song at my funeral 😊.
Such a cool song, thank you for letting me be myself again. They got the funk for sure.
This single hit the top of r&b and pop charts when it released.
This is what real people did with real instruments 60 years ago.
Thanks to the miracle of recording we can enjoy this stuff now.
Sly is still alive, turned 80 this year.
Auntie loved seeing y’all enjoying music I grew up with!! ❤❤❤ Trumpet player is a lady named Cynthia
Of course the whole title of the song is "Thankyoufalettinmebemicelf". Sylvester was a wordsmith. Sly and The Family Stone had an AMAZING set at Woodstock, they want to take you HIGHER.
If ever there was a Bass driven song this was it.
Larry Graham thumbs are on another level🎸
This song came out in 1970. If you want to know who influenced GClinton/Parliament , Funkadelic, Ohio Players, Prince, MJ, look no further than Sly & the Family and James Brown. Sly and JB’s early 70’s albums were funkier than hell. I recommend you listen to ‘If you want me to stay,’ by Sly and ‘The Boss”, by JB.
Some other song choices are made IN this song. "Dance to the music", all l nite long, "Everyday people", "Sing a simple song", mama's so happy, mama start to cry, papa still singin', "You can make it if you try" are all Sly and the Family Stone songs.
Love love love this yall its as funky as this rs11 I'm toking, you guys rock and stay funkidied ✌️✌️🔥🔥😊😎
My childhood remembers this music with a SMILE!!! 🎶❤️🔥🎶 Love it!!!❤
Everyday People!
THANK YOU fa finally playing some Sly Stone!! One of the BEST bands of the 70"s and ever!
Sly and the Family Stone was a great group who had many catchy songs . Check out Dance to the Music.
I grew up with this song. Alternate name is: Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin). Look it up.
Fantastic song by a fantastic group, makes ya move
Fortunately saw Sly and the Family Stone live in the early 70’s. Caught Larry Grahams band Graham Central Station on their 1st tour. Long live Funk!
A taste of Old Funk right here, Larry Graham was slapping that base.."THANK YOU" 😎👊🏽✌🏽
I was very blessed to have parents that loved MUSIC. That taught us to enjoy it and appreciate all the different kinds of music.
My early teens back again 🎉😊 BJ, glad you've got that ATLANTA cap on‼️⚾️ THEY ARE ON FIRE 🔥
I wore my legs out dancing to this song. 🎷🎷
Love Sly and the Family Stone!! Hope you do more of their music. Sing a Simple Song!!
Oh Yeah! LOVE this #oldschool jam!
There’s a lot of songs to react to, one of my favorites “it’s a family affair“ listen to the lyrics and of course the music was exceptional.
Name of the song is
Thankyouforlettingmebemyself
Music was always on in my house, my friends house reunions, everywhere, you couldn't get away from it.
Maybe that why some young people like Asia didn't hear a lot of it.
Sly was the David Bowie of funk …love him
The full name of the song is "I want to thank you folletin me be mice elf".
😎 😎 😎 😎 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 BACK IN THE DAY'S 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sly Stone is originally from Denton, TX.
I don’t care what anyone else says Sly and the stones all about the love you got to fell it
BJ's got the 70s funk vibe down pat. I can see him in the Soul Train line now!
Love Sly 💜
