Episode 52: Higher : The Music of Sly & The Family Stone : Mixed by AllyAl

Howdy

Hope you’re all well and staying safe

“Blood’s thicker than mud, it’s a family affair”

One of my favourite and possibly one of the most influential groups of all time, Sly & the Family Stone. Formed in San Fransisco in 1966, the first major American group to have a racially integrated and male/ female line up. This tribute mix features music from their first 5 albums “A Whole New Thing” “Dance To The Music” “Life” “Stand !” and “There’s A Riot Goin’ On” 1967 to 1971. Also the albums that included the original lineup, Sly, Freddie and Rose Stone, Greg Errico, Jerry Martini, Cynthia Robinson and Larry Graham, trailblazers

So please enjoy and hours worth of Funk and Psychedelic Soul, some obvious choices, some not so
