CAN U IMAGINE SEEING THIS SHIT LIVE???? I WOULD'VE LOST MY MIND

There’s just too many good things to say about Sly and this band. Sly brought the message of love, compassion and music. He let everyone in the band be a star. Say what you will about his decline into drugs but he had/has heart and love in him and his songs. P.s. Rose Stone, I still love you and always will.

Sylvester Stewart aka Sly Stone..One of the greatest soul/pop singers...completely under appreciated. Before Prince...there was Sly

Kraft Music Hall was actually aired on NBC, not ABC. I know because I was an NBC page at the time and worked on this episode, which was shot the NBC studios in Brooklyn. I seem to remember that all didn't go smoothly, with Sly and the director, Dwitght Hemion, having some differences of opinion. I think the producer, Gary Smith, had to help make peace to get the show rolling, which eventually happened. It was the first time I had really seen Sly & the Famly Stone, and it knocked me out.

Man that man had magic! God blessed Sly with so much musical talent

Sly and the Family Stone - legends!! And changed the music scene completely in 1971 with "There's a riot goin'on"!! 💯🎵🎶

Great man!

Beautiful, Love it, So Good, what a family, the family sign-along's during the holidays must have been pretty interesting!!!

Thanks for posting. This medley made them famous at Woodstock. They were by far the best and there was some talent there, over 3 plus days

RIP cynthia Robinson

Makes me proud to be the First to ab thank you for sharing this Video with us. Great.

Research is discovering truth. Wow this is beautiful and crazy. Loving this in 2022. 💞💞

Originally telecast on *NBC* on August 21, 1968.

This was such a great performance to me. Takes me back to my days in Junior High. I would come home from school, & play these songs. I was the first one home. Thanx for this….

Thanks for posting!

RIDE SALLY RIDE YEAHHHH SLY😼

Young Ed McMahon..SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

😃🌱🌸💙

H#lluva Band.... One of the greatest.

do believe Sly planned how to tear up a house as cleverly & carefully as Prince or James Brown or Cab Calloway. But there's that Woodstock rap - the point where he calls for the peace sign, way up on the hillside. Seems to me no one's ever held the world in his palm like that, ever. Had he kept on Sly would have been more influential than Dylan or the Beatles - to me he's their equal as a lyricist (which carries the most influence, liongest, even in music & for musicians?) & plainly Sly was their elder & superior in studio craft & musicianship

All squares go home

Can't sit still.

Music sounds great...anything in better def? I would buy that.

that little exchange between Sly and Ed McMahon..lol...I think they wrote that into the script.

Great show. Too bad you can’t hear Larry’s bass, which is a model I don’t recognize.

Hi, Thanks for posting! Do you have the rest of the show? I think the Four Tops were on this show. If you have it, are you able to post?

What's the guitar player name

So awesome. That dude in the front row that Rose was trying to dance with. I'm jealous. 💯 Rose is older than my mom and I want to dance with her in 2024. 6 years older than my mom? Anyway, Rose was a babe then. I understand, if a rock star girl would try to grab my hand, on TV, I would be shy. But dude!!! Fuck it!! It's Rose 🌹 😍.
