Sly & The Family Stone - 1967 - A Whole New Thing
Sly and the Family Stone are an American rock, funk, and soul band from San Francisco, California. Active from 1966 to 1983, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk, and psychedelic music. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an "integrated, multi-gender" lineup. A Whole New Thing is the debut album of Sly & the Family Stone, released in 1967 on Epic/CBS Records. The album was released to mixed criticism and failed to make an impact from a commercial standpoint and did not chart. CBS Records executive Clive Davis prevailed upon band leader Sly Stone to create a more commercial album; the result was the album Dance to the Music. Unlike later Sly and the Family Stone albums, A Whole New Thing was recorded live in the studio instead of being overdubbed and featured less of a pop feel than later releases such as Dance to the Music and Stand!. The lead vocals are shared between Sly Stone, Freddie Stone, and Larry Graham; Rose Stone would not join the band until they began work on Dance to the Music. 01 - Underdog 02 - If This Room Could Talk 03 - Run Run Run 04 - Turn Me Loose 05 - Let Me Hear It From You 06 - Advice 07 - I Cannot Make It 08 - Trip To Your Heart 09 - I Hate To Love Her 10 - Bad Risk 11 - That Kind Of Person 12 - Dog 13 - What Would I Do LINK
