Their mix of soul, funk and psychedelic rock made Sly & The Family Stone one of the cornerstone bands of the late 60s, shaping the future of race-blind, genre-blind music, and capping it all off with one of the most celebrated slots at 1969's Woodstock Festival

As the group entered the 70s, they once again paved the way for new developments in funk, the minimalist masterpiece There's A Riot Goin' On ushering in a whole new era of socially conscious Black music. The Ultimate Broadcast Collection 1973 To 1976 captures further shifts for The Family Stone: amid changing line-ups and leader Sly Stone's own withdrawal from the limelight,
the band could still deliver live performances for the ages.

Captured by cameras for US TV shows such as Midnight Special and The Mike Douglas Show, Sly & The Family Stone tend to their legacy with performances of career-making songs such as Dance To The Music, Stand! and (I Want To Take You) Higher, and they hit further heights showcasing standouts from their more
recent work, among them the singles If You Want Me To Stay and Loose Booty - an invitation to dance if ever there was one.
