I didn't see it posted, but a funk master passed away.

That's what my eyes saw while scanning the topics.

This is by far my favorite video of them. Ed Sullivan show where he goes up dancing into the audience. There are a couple of older white guys who just do NOT know how to react to this guy. ("Hey, I thought Perry Como was booked" ) Great song as well.

Fantastic, multi-talented entertainer! His performance along with The Family Stone at Woodstock ('69) was one for the ages. I first saw it at the drive-in with the music coming from the crappy little hang on the window speaker. And it blew me away! I have the Woodstock concert on DVD and their performance is still one of my favorites along with The Who.

I am not the Six Million Dollar Man, but I might need that surgery. "We have the technology, we can rebuild him!"

Before Sly, black music was all Motowny. He totally changed the game, started everything you still hear in today's music.

You can almost hear the producer scream , "Focus on the drummer!! Zoom in on the drummer!!" when they first run off the stage.
