The entire Gainesville music scene was built around songs: Top Forty songs on the radio, songs on albums, original songs performed on stage by bands and other musical ensembles. The late sixties was a golden age of rock and pop music and the rise of the rock band as a musical entity. As the counterculture marched for equal rights and against the war in Vietnam, a sonic revolution was occurring in the recording studio and on the concert stage. New sounds were being created through multitrack recording techniques, and record producers such as Phil Spector and George Martin became integral parts of the creative process. Musicians expanded their sonic palette by experimenting with the sounds of sitar, and through sound-modifying electronic ef- fects such as the wah-wah pedal, fuzz tone, and the Echoplex tape-de- lay unit, as well as a variety of new electronic keyboard instruments and synthesizers. The sound of every musical instrument contributed toward the overall sound of a performance or recording, and bands were begin- ning to expand beyond the core of drums, bass, and a couple guitars.

This show is exclusively produced for Grand Performances by Dexter Story, Music Director, and Rocio Wyldeflower Contreras, Novena Carmel & Dexter Story. The critically acclaimed Nelson George will host the show. Sly Stone, who turns 75 today, pioneered the "psychedelic soul" sound that was realized by his band, Sly and the Family Stone, the first major integrated (race & gender) American rock group. Sly’s groundbreaking and revolutionary lyrics cemented the band's legacy as legitimate with their 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. From the Hall of Fame: THEY TOOK US HIGHER. Sly and the Family Stone were a brief glimpse of utopia. Their songs were more than danceable hits—they were a force for positive change. When Sly and the Family Stone played, we all got along. We were part of the family.

  • David Dorfman Dance Grooves to Sly and the Family Stone - News from Southeastern Connecticut
    4/4/2017 The Day - David Dorfman Dance grooves to Sly and the Family Stone - News from southeastern Connecticut David Dorfman Dance grooves to Sly and the Family Stone "Prophets of Funk - Dance to the Music" leaps onto the stage Frida at Connecticut College. Pulished Feruar 03. 2011 2:03AM | Updated Feruar 03. 2011 9:17AM Kristina Dorse (mailto:[email protected]) Da Arts ditor Dancer David Dorfman says, simply, "I've always been the biggest, biggest fan of Sly and the Family Stone." He has a vivid memory of working out with a pal in high school - Dorfman was on the baseball and football teams, his friend was a basketball player - and they put on an 8-track (yes, an 8-track) of Sly and the Family Stone. "We played it over and over again. This became kind of like an anthem," he says. Dorfman was addicted to "Soul Train" and says, "Everything about the culture of soul and funk appealed to me." And then, during his first week as a freshman at Washington University at St. Louis, the school hosted a concert by Sly and the Family Stone. Dorfman, now an acclaimed choreographer and head of the David Dorfman Dance troupe, is returning to Sly with his new work, "Prophets of Funk - Dance to the Music," which the group will perform Friday at Connecticut College's Palmer Auditorium. Dorfman, a 1981 Conn grad, is now the college's dance department chair. In 2007, the New York-based David Dorfman Dance was named permanent company-in-residence at Connecticut College.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 16 EVERYDAY PEOPLE, Sly and the Family Stone Written and produced by Sly Stone Epic 10407 1968 Billboard: #1 (4 weeks) After two hundred takes failed to get an acceptable "White Rabbit" from a pre-Jefferson Airplane group featuring Grace Slick, disc jockey/ record producer Sylvester Stewart vowed to forget that acid-rock shit. So he renamed himself Sly Stone and formed his own band to play "the first fusion of psychedelia and rhythm and blues." In the Family Stone, men and women, black and white, played and sang as equals and each member's voice matched his or her instrument (i.e., bassist Larry Graham both played and sang bass. while Cynthia Robinson had the same brassy range and timbre as her trumpet). More startling, in Sly's songs rock and soul -- that is, black and white post -- Presley pop-intermingled till you couldn't find where one began and the other left off. The nursery rhyme simplicity and seductive tunefulness of "Everyday People." their third single and first Number One hit. make it almost too sweet to be true, and its fusion of rock and soul elements reflects an integrated symmetry that's still breathtaking. "Everyday People" proposes something even more radical than "different strokes for different folks" (a phrase it placed in the permanent American vernacular). The song argues that the healing power of music even encompasses curing rifts among races and classes. That was a corny/naive idea even in 1968, yet the record remains convincing because it so delightedly practices everything it preaches, You could spend a lifetime fathoming what gives Sly the courage to declare (at a time when the unity of the civil rights movement was disintegrating into a dagger's length truce), "We got to live together!" Even if the record's final boast, "I AM everyday people" means only that the "we " who had to live together were the antagonistic sides of Sly's own personality, these are words to live by.

  • The Last Bedraggled Fan Sloshed out of Max Yasgur's Muddy Pasture More Than 25 Years Ago. That's When the Debate Began About Woodstock's Historical Significance
    The last bedraggled fan sloshed out of Max Yasgur's muddy pasture more than 25 years ago. That's when the debate began about Woodstock's historical significance. True believers still call Woodstock the capstone of an era devoted to human advancement. Cynics say it was a fitting, ridiculous end to an era of naivete. Then there are those who say it was just a hell of a party. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a countercultural mini-nation in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07pm August 15 and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18. The festival closed the New York State Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired a slew of local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again. Woodstock, like only a handful of historical events, has become part of the cultural lexicon. As Watergate is the codeword for a national crisis of confidence and Waterloo stands for ignominious defeat, Woodstock has become an instant adjective denoting youthful hedonism and 60's excess. "What we had here was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," said Bethel town historian Bert Feldman. "Dickens said it first: 'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times'. It's an amalgam that will never be reproduced again." Gathered that weekend in 1969 were liars and lovers, prophets and profiteers.

Photograph: Adam Campos More than ever, choreographers resort to recorded music, but for a new collaboration brewing at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, David Dorfman has scored a major coup. Prophets of Funk, which is set to the music of Sly and the Family Stone, will feature the band (minus the reclusive Sly Stone) in a free performance on August 11 at Damrosch Park Bandshell. Still, for the work, which explores the prophetic possibilities of music and dance, Dorfman brings it all back to Stone: Funk, for the choreographer, is about keeping hope alive. Is this a new version of something that you've been touring? It's definitely new, and we're calling it a premiere because it will be the first time that we dance with the band playing live. We're calling this a "concert edition." Not only is the band playing live, but at the end of the piece, they will play a half­hour set of their incredible hits that have not been featured in the dance.
