One of the best albums of the time period. Stand is a bit of a milestone. It has that funk and rock vibe perfected like few others. There isn't a bad song on here, and there are a few ultra classics that cannot be denied. Whatever your taste in music, this should be in your library as a cultural artifact of the 60s. Released just before the major Woodstock performance, it's probably the band at their peak.
Need proof of how great Sly and The Family Stone were? Just check out the track listing for Stand! The title track, "I Want to Take You Higher". "You Can Make it if You Try", "Everyday People",(before it was a car commercial)--and this isn't even the greatest hits package! Hippies with attitude (and serious soul moves), Stone and crew were one of the most influential and free-wheeling forces in R&B/rock. Stand shows why. Gut bucket bass lines (thank you Larry Graham), joyous take-you-there anthems, and seething racial politics that made you move--and think--while on the dance floor. --Amy Linden
