If You Want Me To Stay - Sunday Vids

Check out this old school video from 1974 of Sly singing, "If You Want Me To Stay", and an interview with him from the same year. Interesting conversation about Sly's movie idea, set for the year 2009. I smell controversy??

A little about Sly and The Family Stone. After a mildly received debut album, A Whole New Thing (1967), Sly & The Family Stone had their first hit single with "Dance to the Music", which was later included on an album of the same name. Although their third album, Life (also 1968), also suffered from low sales, their fourth album, Stand! (1969), became a runaway success, selling over three million copies and spawning a number one hit single, "Everyday People." By the summer of 1969, Sly & The Family Stone were one of the biggest names in music, releasing three more top five singles, "Hot Fun in the Summertime" and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" / "Everybody is a Star", before the end of the year, and appearing at Woodstock. Bottom line....thank you for making such timeless and meaningful music that I still enjoy to this day.
