As relevant as it was then and even more now Talent is talent. It comes out one way or another. That's why we're still here today jammin' to this man and his band. I have this on a greatest hits. If it came out 68, my mother was jammin' to it while I was in the womb.
He was that good in the late 60s early 70s the were the hipest black band at the time they made some of the greatest music of the generation god bless him
One of the greatest and yet shortest verses ever written "I am no better and neither are you We're all 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"
This can't be the "official video" for this song, because "Everyday People" was released in the year 1968. The images and dancing you see are clearly from long after that year. So this video was constructed decades after the song came out. Great song, but the video doesn't measure up.
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 tryin' to be a skinny one Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby We got to live together I am no better and neither are you We're all 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 There is a long hair That doesn't like the short hair For being such a rich one That will not help the poor one Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on, scooby-dooby-dooby 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 Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and Scooby-dooby-dooby I am everyday people
This is the most profoundly elegant video I have ever seen!…..it describes my youth (I saw Sly and the Family Stone in 1972 as a 13 year old)…the music of the day was everything, we could feel God in it (easily)!
A friend of mine who plays in The Young Rascals (a.k.a. Rascals) just opened for this band in the OC this summer. It is wonderful that the classic groups are still touring.
Amen and Hallelujah!
TIMELESS !!!! THANK YOU SLY AND YOUR FAMILY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my choice for a new U.S. National Anthem.

Nobody can say it better then now and forever ❤
Goodmornin America
Song really hits home in wake of the Israeli attacks by Hamas.
great work!!!
This IS NOT the Official Video.
Great song!
Classic, timeless song, no doubt. But the incongruous stock-footage video leaves much to be desired, without doubt.

One of the greatest and yet shortest verses ever written
"I am no better and neither are you
We're all 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"
Sly was a helluva man with a beautiful vision

The best on hold music

Great song, but the video doesn't measure up.
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 tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-dooby
We got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We're all 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
There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on, scooby-dooby-dooby
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
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby-dooby-dooby
I am everyday people
This music echoed from every college dorm in the early 70s. Truly unique and special.
