Good funky shit for you
Check out this video of Sly & The Family Stone playing an amazing version of "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) on Soul Train. The intro section, where the players come in one at a time is awesome. There are not too many of the original Family Stone players on this: Rose Stone on clavinet, Freddie Stone on guitar, Cynthia Robinson on trumpet, and Jerry Martini on saxophone (wait, that's 4 of 6 -- scratch that. Larry Graham on bass and Greg Errico on drums had moved on around 1970*). The youngest Stone sister is playing electric piano. Sly is as dazed-looking as ever, but verray cool anyways.
This must have been one of the very rare actual live performances on Soul Train, which normally used canned tracks.
