The breakthrough single for Sly and the Family Stone. Sly (real name: Sylvester Stewart) was a DJ at KSOL in San Francisco and had produced hits by Bobby Freeman and the Beau Brummels, among others. Sly brought in several family members to add to his band, so the name was appropriate. They became a huge influence as there just weren’t many racially integrated bands, let alone groups with females actually playing instruments alongside the guys.
