Pivotal in the development of soul, funk, and psychedelic music, the band was the first major American rock band to have an integrated line-up. They bring you their chart topping hits as THE FAMILY STONE. The Family Stone brings a message of peace, love, and social consciousness through musical harmony with some of the funkiest players of all time. Together they present an explosive set of psychedelic funk hits and the raw, unfiltered original sound that has been sampled and covered by major artists around the world. Legendary anthems like “I Want to Take You Higher,” “Everyday People,” “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” “Dance To The Music,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “Family Affair,” “Sing a Simple Song,” and many other instantly recognizable tunes from their vast catalog of albums including STAND, which was declared a National Treasure in 2015, make this a dynamic show not to be missed. www.TheFamilyStoneMusic.com.

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

  • Diggin' You Like Those Ol' Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America
    Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records 181 Diggin’ You Like Those Ol’ Soul Records: Meshell Ndegeocello and the Expanding Definition of Funk in Postsoul America Tammy L. Kernodle Today’s absolutist varieties of Black Nationalism have run into trouble when faced with the need to make sense of the increasingly distinct forms of black culture produced from various diaspora populations. The unashamedly hybrid character of these black cultures continually confounds any simplistic (essentialist or antiessentialist) understanding of the relationship between racial identity and racial nonidentity, between folk cultural authenticity and pop cultural betrayal. Paul Gilroy1 Funk, from its beginnings as terminology used to describe a specific genre of black music, has been equated with the following things: blackness, mascu- linity, personal and collective freedom, and the groove. Even as the genre and terminology gave way to new forms of expression, the performance aesthetic developed by myriad bands throughout the 1960s and 1970s remained an im- portant part of post-1970s black popular culture. In the early 1990s, rhythm and blues (R&B) splintered into a new substyle that reached back to the live instru- mentation and infectious grooves of funk but also reflected a new racial and social consciousness that was rooted in the experiences of the postsoul genera- tion. One of the pivotal albums advancing this style was Meshell Ndegeocello’s Plantation Lullabies (1993). Ndegeocello’s sound was an amalgamation of 0026-3079/2013/5204-181$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:4 (2013): 181-204 181 182 Tammy L. Kernodle several things.

  • Proposal for City Hall Gallery Exhibit on the Early Days of Creedence Clearwater Revival
    Proposal for City Hall Gallery exhibit on the early days of Creedence Clearwater Revival Submitted April 23, 2019 by the El Cerrito Historical Society, Dave Weinstein, president, and by Alec Palao, curator This will not be an art exhibit, strictly speaking, but more a historical one, yet tied to arts month through its subject: Creedence Clearwater Revival, the El Cerrito-born rock’n’roll band that 50 years ago became the most popular band in the world, at one point even rivaling the Beatles as a singles act. An even more poignant anniversary is the fact that 2019 marks a full 60 years since the embryonic line-up of the group was formed at Portola Junior High in 1959. Our preferred date would be October 2019. Much of the material on display will also qualify as art as it will include much in the way of graphics, such as artistically-designed album covers, posters, and other promotional material and photographs. Alec Palao is well positioned to do this exhibit. He is a noted producer of back catalog rock and R&B reissues, with five Grammy nominations in the Best Historical Album and Best Album Notes categories. A serious music scholar, with a special interest in Bay Area, and especially East Bay music, he is also a professional musician. A native of Great Britain, Alec moved to the United States over three decades ago largely because of his interest in American music of the era, and has lived in El Cerrito for 22 years. He produced, compiled and annotatedcritically appraised reissues of Creedence music including rare recordings by their predecessor bands, the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, and knows the history of the band very well.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 57 DANCE TO THE MUSIC, Sly and the Family Stone Written and produced by Sly Stone Epic 10256 1968 Billboard: #8 I first heard "Dance to the Music" in a high school lunch line when a friend thrust a pocket-size transistor at my ear. "You won't believe this," he said. Who could've? Except for "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," no great single has broken so many rules and reestablished them in its own image. Sly found a funky equivalent of the white rock artiness of the Who and the Yardbirds -- without losing a shred of R&B's danceability. The lyric simply describes what's happening in the song, starting from scratch and adding one instrument at a time to build up a powerhouse of psychedelic R&B, replete with call-and-response vocals, briefly interjected solos, interspersed cries of surprised glee, and a beat.that bulldozes everything in its path. It's all so joyous that it's easy to miss the "message" declared by horn players Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini: " All the squares go home!" "Dance to the Music" arrived at the instant when black and white pop achieved their greatest closeness and began to move apart again, after more than a decade of frequently harmonious intersection. Since then, from Kool and the Gang to Prince, Sly and "Dance to the Music" have never been far away, and as the nineties open, their influence on pop dance music is as strong as anyone's -- even James Brown's.
