1 | * [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Quite a bit. "Everyday People," "I Want To Take You Higher," "Hot Fun in the Summertime," "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)", "Family Affair." Most of ''Music/{{Stand}}'' and ''There's A Riot Goin' On'' counts as this. |
2 | * SampledUp: How many people recognized "Trip to Your Heart" in Music/{{LL Cool J}}'s "Mama Said Knock You Out?" |
3 | ** Likewise, "Shadrach" by the Music/BeastieBoys is built on a sample from "Loose Booty", from one of the Family Stone's unloved early 70s albums. |
4 | * TearJerker: |
5 | ** "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" is a kick-ass funk song, but the words are heartbreaking: Sly knows that it's all going to be downhill from here and he sounds so coked-up and fatalistic that he's barely singing his own song, just muttering it. |
6 | ** Doubling down in "Family Affair": |
7 | --->''You can't leave 'cause your heart is there\ |
8 | But, sure, you can't stay 'cause you been somewhere else\ |
9 | You can't cry 'cause you'll look broke down\ |
10 | But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down, it's a family affair.'' |
11 | ** Cynthia Robinson's death. "All the squares, go home!" |
12 | * VindicatedByHistory: ''There's A Riot Goin' On'' received mixed reviews at the time, for its awesomely downbeat mood; now it's viewed (with ''Stand!'') as their best work, and one of the greatest albums of all time. |
