Stand!, the fourth album from Sly & the Family Stone, could have
almost pulled double-duty as a greatest hits package for the band. Laced
with sure-fire winners, this 1969 LP put Sly and Co. firmly on the road
to super-stardom. Four of the album’s seven songs, including the Hall
of Fame tracks “Everyday People” and “I Want To Take You Higher,” shot
straight into the national charts.
This visionary work also
introduced far-sighted FM radio stations to the goosebump-inducing
sounds of “Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey,” a song that accurately
portrayed racial tensions in America in a manner that no one could have
seen coming. On a musical level, the band was now tight as a cork in a
bottle of vintage wine. No doubt about it: Stand!has to be the tastiest
mélange ever of rock, politics, funk and soul!
