The San Francisco group managed to merge funk, psychedelia, rock and soul music to create this rich, stirring sound. Songs like "Dance to the Music," "Hot Fun in the Summertime" and "I Want to Take You Higher" are woven into our musical DNA. With sounds of summer, and key to cultural events like Woodstock, Sly and the Family Stone stands as a significant and powerful act that is too often overlooked or left underappreciated.
