Veteran keyboardist and producer George Duke remembers a time when funk was a powerful force – not just in popular music but in social discourse. Frequently with a measure of wit and irony, and often with a strong dose of positivity at the core, titans like James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone and other funk icons of the ‘60s and ‘70s boldly addressed societal concerns ranging from poverty to racial...
In this fan-recorded clip from a few weeks ago, the B-52's, Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, and others come together to belt out a gleeful version of Sly and the Family Stone's inclusive anthem "Everyday People." It seems like a blast, but the amusing thing about the clip is the way every time Fred Schneider perks up and sings louder, it feels as though you've just bitten into something weird and unexpected....
BY DAN DELUCA OF THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER Everybody’s got a personal playlist of summer songs.

Seals and Croft’s “Summer Breeze” might [...]
Everybody's got a personal playlist of summer songs. It might have Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind," or Sly and the Family Stone's "Hot Fun in the Summertime." The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City," or maybe Regina Spektor's song of the same name.

Chuck Berry, Sly and the Family Stone Headline The Long Beach Blues Festival will get a face-lift this year with a new home and will feature an 81-year-old headliner who made musical history because he wouldn't play the blues.

For what it's worth, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales sees the growth of Internet usage in the Middle East as a boon to the world's exposure to "ordinary people" of the region. Such exposure, he said, would soften the region's image abroad. In other words, not everybody in the Middle East is a suicide bomber, just as America isn't filled only filled with gun-toting Yosemite Sams, just as not every Frenchman...

I’ve been on a Sly and the Family Stone kick lately and was youtubing around for various concert footage when I ran into this gem. On the first Lollapalooza tour, Perry Farrell's Jane’s Addiction and Ice T covered Sly's “Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey.” For even more fun and racial awkwardness, here’s a version [...]
Sly , along with some of The Family Stone are still trying to forge a comeback and they're booked Friday, April 25, at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Let's hope the show is longer than the brief but tantalizing appearance he made onstage at the 2006 Grammys. It's only too easy to imagine what happened to Sly in all these years since his raging popularity in the funk-mad early 70's. (He was the first...
