These guys were the first popular act to have white guys and black guys, and black and white women, too. The first to have women PLAYING INSTRUMENTS! They have 6 songs on the 500 greatest rock song list from Rolling Stone, the only ones to beat them were the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, Presley, and Hendrix. Pretty lofty company, there. I think they are the most underappreciated act from the 60s-70s era.
In the late '60s, the Black Panthers came to Sly and told him he needed to get those white people out of his band. He told them, "Get the f*** out of my dressing room!"

I considered myself quite modern when I got an early cassette deck. That is how I had three of their albums, cassettes.

Thank you 1SG Steven Imerman for posting the music video of San Francisco band Sly & The Family Stone performing Everyday People
Everyday People written by Sylvester 'Sly' Stewart
Sly and the Family Stone
Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people"
