He was notorious for not showing up for his concerts or showing up so late that the crowd got very angry. He was usually so stoned or drunk that it would make him do that.

"Hot Fun in the Summertime" was one of my faves!

Ahhh, the memories of dancing to his music and being young and carefree.

Rest in Peace Mr. Stone. His music brings back such happy memories of my youth and dancing like crazy with my bestie. No one makes that kind of music anymore, although Prince was very good at bringing some of that feeling back. I miss great dance music.

@catter70 - sad news. Those songs bring me back to my dancing days too. Especially loved Everybody is a Star. Rest in peace.

I saw Sly and the Family Stone in Madison Square Garden in 1971.

It was a great show; he was a tremendous talent. @catter70 in addition to the ones you mentioned I also liked "Everyday People".

May he Rest in Peace.

The nastiest music of ALL TIME! Not even Prince (before he was saved) could touch it........

Many a time my kid's band (and I) have played Dance To The Music and just like the song, sang and performed the solo parts to each of our accompanying instruments......🎵 All we need is a drummer...... I'm gonna add a little guitar......you might like to hear my organ....🎵💙💙
