SLY STONE ON THE DICK CAVETT SHOW (1970)

It's Sly Stone's birthday. I'm not entirely comfortable with the following clip as Dick Cavett is obviously intent to offer up Sly as a performing monkey to his square honky audience but the clash of their worlds is interesting to watch. The picture quality ain't great but have a look before digging out Fresh or Stand! or There's A Riot Goin' On.

  1. mike douglas did seem much more at ease when sly did his show for a week ( i remember watching it as a kid)

    even eddie murphy gave him a kind of kudos in his movie w/ the notorious line about "moist"
