Sometimes Monday mornings just aren't enough to get me out of first gear. Sly & The Family Stone are guaranteed to banish the Summertime blues.
Here are a selection of TV performances from 1968 to 1974, taking in I Want To Take You Higher, Hot Fun In The Summertime, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again) and Stand. Hard to believe that not one of these singles made a dent in the UK charts.
Every one is a joy to watch, especially Hot Fun In The Summertime, with the female audience member's reaction at 0:25 and Rose Stone owning the song with just seven words, repeated. What a voice.
The songs are bursts of brilliant sunshine, the wardrobe even more so. Shades required for this one. And a willingness to get down.
