Lyrics:
Get up and dance to the music!
Get on up and dance to the fonky music!
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet
I'm gonna add some bottom
So that the dancers just won't hide
You might like to hear my organ
I said ride Sally ride
If I could hear the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah!
Cynthia and Jerry got a message that's sayin'
All the squares, go home!
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
#SlyAndTheFamilyStone #DanceToTheMusic #Funk
I'm Cynthia Robinsons cousin,(the trumpet player in the band that has a kid with the lead singer) she passed away years ago but I wanted to let u guys know they loved all their fans and KEEP ON DANCIN 😂 u guys r awesome:)
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow how incredible. I can remember when I was a teenager maybe in 1971, I had a friend that knew Sly when he lived out in Ingleside dist in San Francisco, and we use to go over to Sly's place and hang out and just listen to great music. That was such a blessing and fond memory that I still remember to this day in 2022. Gosh I'm 67, but enjoyed my youth 👍❤️
Mickey chann let me quote your cousin" All the squares go home 🎤!!!!!!!
I believe Cynthia passed in 2015. Loved her so!
Mickey chann, thank you for telling us that. It makes me happy to know the love Cynthia Robinson, Sly and the rest of the family Stone brought to us was reflected back by the listeners AND Cynthia & company appreciated it.
Dance to the music.....dance to the music!!!
Black, white, brown, yellow, red, whatever you are whatever you believe in, we can all agree on something, this song is amazing!
Truth
Yes yes yes !!!!!!
Only swares go home !!!!!!!!!!
I love this song because of Martin Lawrence comedy movie Black knight 😂😅
@@maureent6800 squares ma'am.
Sly was a million miles ahead of his time ,such a cool band...
This is still some of the greatest music ever.
Their songs should be played on loud speakers during the riots and looting. They were for peace.
Agreed!
I agree, still gets me dancing, just doing it in my chair :)

Of course it is!
I was drafted after high school and was headed overseas in 69. I was in the airport in Detroit and all of a sudden I saw Sly and his band walkin in. All decked out in the big hats and fur boots and all that stuff. I said hey and he said the same and suddenly my day was a whole lot brighter! Thank you SLY!!!!!
AMAN 🌟
my late hubbie was also drafted and shipped to nam january 1971. 1st cav!
didn't get to see sly tho!LOL!
Cool story!
Hope you guys buy Sly's autobiography! I just got it as a late birthday present and it engages you very quickly!!
So cool!
All these years, and that bass is still the nastiest I’ve ever heard.
Who here can hear the influence of the sanctified church and black gospel music on this eclectic band? ❤❤
Amen...make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
I'm 66 now and hadn't heard this song in decades. Music did so much for us back then. Thanks, Family Stone & Mr. Sly
I couldn't agree more bro. I'm 67 and all the great music from back then energizes me. And of course back then it was the soundtrack of our lives.
Me too. I saw them live in El Paso in 73.
Yes it did wonders for us thru tough times
I was back in the Detroit when Sly cancelled in 71 when this was bangin 🕺🏾💃🏾 They say Sly was too high to perform... I mean shit who wasn't high back then... If you've lived long enough to talk about it 👍🏼
61 but I love hip hop. Music evolves
I'm 70, I was just laying in bed thinking about the music from my time, this was one of the best! Every body in the club would get up for this!
Sound like some awesome times! Savor the memory! :)
Oh man we grew up with the greatest music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ I am 67 and you know it was the best times
@@rogers68vette81 I AM TURNING 65 IN 4 DAYS AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
THIS MUSIC HAS ALREADY STOOD THE TEST OF TIME
@DON HAGERTY thank goodness we have something to far back on when time's are rough
Yep, I'm 71, best of times
It’s like the Musical Anthem for those who Love to dance.
And The Mighty Sounds of Sam & Dave.... THANK YOU!
Funk & Soul are like cookies or ice cream. Just makes the world a better place.
Was a time when am radio was king!
WLS, WCFL! CHICAGO. WZZM DETROIT and when everyone found FM no static, AM lost out and it cost the listener, segregation channels!
Right on!
This music is getting me
out of my funk! Thank you
Sly and Stones!
Since I was a youngster in the early 70's I always I thought it was so cool when Cynthia Robinson yelled out "All the squares go home". Totally cool and still to this day I love hearing it. Cynthia and Rose with her platimum wig were so cool.
Back when soul music deserved the name.
It's not soul, it's funk!
Nancy Angelos it´s not funk, it´s funk soul or maybe souly funk!!
Nancy, what's the difference?
Nancy Angelos The first Disco song ever?!
Capcoor You tell me?. Smile!. Take care.
Rest In Power, Cynthia Robinson.
IS SHE DEAD OR SOMETHING?
And ain't that a crying shame. Their music gave me a little peace, happiness and hope for the future during what was a very dark and difficult time for me. I will be forever grateful and forever indebted to them for the grace and light they brought to the world.
SIP
"ALL THE SQUARES GO HOME!!!"
She joined the angels on November 23, 2015 ( the big C)
One of the most exciting songs of the ‘60’s. Certainly one of my favorites. What a phenomenal group.
You can say what you want, but Sly Stone knew how to produce a record.
R.I.P., Cynthia Robinson. I love this song!!!
Bravo, Sly & The Family Stone!
+ChihuahuaboyDH Me too. R.I.P Cynthia
Cynthia on the throne!
Susan Kuhn Steel telling all the squares to go home what a great horn player.
70s funk at it's best!
If you can sit through this, you are not alive.
This song always makes me smile like an overexcited kid - love it!
🎵☮️💟🎶♥️🌟
R. I. P. Cynthia Robinson on here throne.
🔥 🔥! From 70' Yes! Still grooving off this classic! Yes
They got all of us on out feet and dancing...all of us...at Woodstock.
my dad played this song all the time when i was very young......im 53 now and it still rocks!!!
My dad was a music teacher and when I got this single, he borrowed it to teach his elementary school orchestra how different instruments make up a whole composition.
Wow
I wish I was in his class.
@@circusitch same!
Coolness!
Man I did the exact same thing with my family driving on vacation last summer
"If I could hear the horns blow, Cynthia's on the throne".....Sly Stone.
Cynthia got a message
Now this was a band!!
I'm white I think Sly was underrated!! He wrote some SLAMMING music! WHAT'S there not to LOVE! Great music!!
I saw them live in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, somewhere around 1971. Unbelievably great show. Nobody rocked like Sly and the Family. Love them much.
Was it the Cherry Hill Arena or Latin Casino in Cherry Hill N.J.😊😊😊
@@leonardbrown2219 Cherry Hill Arena otherwise known as the Ice House. It was a stinking hot night. It must have been a hundred inside. They were two hours late. The place was on the verge of a real riot when they finally showed up. Once they hit the stage it was pure magic. Great show.
All I know is, this kind of music make me feel groovy!! I remember when this song first played on the radio.
You must be my age. I'm 65
To tell you guys what, I'm 23 and started trying other genres of music. And THIS is by far the best thing to sit back and drink a little and smoke a little and just enjoy life and try to visualize what life was like in that time period.
IT WAS GREAT!!...so glad you're on the vibe! Peace!
It was cool
It was so awesome m8- I am 71
You got that right bro
YOU have good taste....."Keep on trckin"
I had a big smile when I relistened to this. No autotune, no digital editing, no processed beats. Just a raw rock 'n' roll celebration. Fuck todays music. I hate todays music.
Hell yeah. Just great singers, musicians, and some mics.
Edward Bliss, this was the best technology of the time. Perhaps you're just nostalgic.
Edward Bliss i concur
right on brother!
I agree todays music is so great- John Hiat- The Wise Guyz- Southern Culture On The Skids" so many great bands out there today the radio refuesses to play !!!
this is the greatest dance track ever
ONLY TWO WORDS FUCKING BRILLIANT
this song needs to be in the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie
kris sanchez That would be nice!. Bam!.
Oh yeah!!!! Get Groot dancing to THOSE tunes!
kris sanchez would be epic
kris sanchez this would be awesome as Star lord's new jig
Oh, HELL yeah!!!
Seeing this performed live is one of those musical memories that sticks with you a lifetime... all these decades later!
It sure does !
I am near to 76, an African (Namibian) at that, never left the continent but way back then as young people we enjoyed this music, we or let me say I, from time to time return to these roots and listen to SS&F, it brings me all sorts of emotions, joy, it embodies my whole life as a youth. How we pray to get our innocence restored!?
They were fabulous and so is this song! (63 year old, grandma of two)
I hear ya! 65 grandma of 2:)
63yr. old mother of 3 and great grandmother of 1. just an old hippie taking a stroll down memory lane
@@race2run Nearly 68 (2 daughters, no grandchildren) ... listened on vinyl, bought the CD, now on YT ... Cynthia Robinson, RIP. Be good, Sly.
Wow you kids...remember to ravin the night away at the Hotspot Torquay in 1970 ( I think ) .. should have wed the girl I met that night even if her earrings turned my face blue with sweating lol.. 70 year old grandad now...great memories always return with great songs
66 going to be a great grandma.. still love this music!
Thank you Cynthia Robinson for help taming mankind with your gift and talent. I'd like to think that life was a bit more tolerable due to your contribution with the "Family Stone" and others. You were definitely part of the soundtrack of my early life. I guess GOD needed another trumpet player for his new band. He got a good one...
TRUTH!!!
One of the most under-appreciated groups ever.
Totally!!
Who in the universe under appreciates Sly & TFS?!!!
@@redhouaneboulechbak8316 With their unique music and amazing talent, they should have gotten twice the acclaim.
I think that's becz' it was unfortunately short-lived, marked by conflict & business disagreements.
@@redhouaneboulechbak8316 two older blk people I work with who love older blk music from 60s-70s knew very little about SFT when i asked them so that tells me he wasnt big on the radar of the average blk listener back then.
I just found this. My first album (on vinyl) was Sly and the Family Stone Greatest Hits. I was 14, and yes, I was a late bloomer with very strict parents. I've love this band and the music every since. I'm almost 65 now, and I still listen, and I still love.
Rock and Soul music
Hot fun in the summertime is my favorite.
Karen Lovatt Me too Karen,I'm 63,& still listening & loving xx
Sorry Karen spelt your name wrong ,must be old age .....NOT!!!!! X
This band was really in the groove. They spent a lot of time in the control room humming riffs, until things fell in the slot. One of their favorite sayings was, "It gone do what it gone do." Tell me about soul music that rocks. I Am forever a fan.
Had this album back in the day. It was so alive and positive.
Lots of folks did-played it for years and years....
Yep. I played the heck out of it in High School.
Positive, which is needed in this day and time!!
Its still getting played the heck out of in 2019
Loving Sly & The Family Stone Forever Dancing,Love Always🌍
I'm 68 and I always liked this tune. I was there when it first came out, and I am still here
The black knight 😂
No mistaking Larry Graham's bass voice. Love it.
Inspired Drake
@@johnharris4899 Drake is Larry's nephew, you know.
@@darrinbaker00 Yes.
He’s also the guy who invented slap bass if I recall correctly
The best music on the planet still to this day
I'm 63 ,jamming this tune in 2021.
In 21 I was 62 & still enjoying
This jam rocked Harlem New York to its core..listen 2 the voices
This was the first song from back in the day when you heard that heavy bass , when you put it on the stereo set , especially if you had a great set
Thumping and plucking, thumping and plucking of the bass thanks to it's inventor Larry Graham.
The first Psychedelic Soul Record
The _first_ song with heavy bass?
Fuzz!
Omg Larry Graham 🎸❤👍
Listen at 1:59: A note so perfectly piercing that at first you can't tell if it's an instrument in the band or the voice of someone singing. Which makes its resolution absolute perfection.
Yes! good ears and observation.
@@kingeliii9011 The power of the Saxophonist
Oooooooo Wow. Speak English !!!!- its definitely groovy is all I know. Perhaps u can rub.a Couple of ears of corn together and explain that 2 us
"All The Squares Go Home..."!! That line always cracked me up!! RIP Cynthia Robinson!!
Brilliant! Timeless! The simmering intensity is pure and powerful music magic.
I wore out the vinyl playing this album so many times. 45 years later, still listening and cranking up the volume, but it's on mp3's now.
Still have the vinyl, and my component system from the seventies with those big-ass speakers that make the windows pulse with the bass!!! LOL........NOTHING makes a bad day turn around faster than this stuff from Sly and the Family Stone .... always been a very big part of the music of my life.
WHAT ARE MP3'S?
What's an mp3?
Yep "Dance To The Music!"
@Nakai Yaz I wonder too
As a white kid who grew up in rural Maine, in a town of 700 people, I heard this for the first time over an AM station out of Chicago at night on my little transistor radio. OMG - I was hooked. Larry Graham, the horns, the funk - Sly's voice. And then, a 100 years later, it becomes a centerpiece on the Shrek 1 karaoke party trailer. It don;t git no betta thatn that!
Are you 100?
I bet you were listening to WBLS out of Chicago. I was in a small town in north Alabama, very new Muscle Shoals. I kept praying Sly and group would come down and record. They never did, but I kept listening to their music and also to South Train. They are still my favorites after all this time. If you listen closely to the music, they were truly amazing for the time. Just finished reading Sky’s new book and highly recommend it.
One of the best songs, EVER!!
I love this band I grew up on funk music like this thanks to my dad
I still remember when this track came on the radio for the first time, you couldn't help but move your body. One of the best grooves ever recorded!
Yep.
The beginning of Funk!!!!
Not quite...
funk began with james brown. go back 5 steps.
Dance! The greatest beat!
Textbook example of classic funk by the genius Sly Stone and The Family....
One of my faves in the '60s & '70s. Right now, in 2019, is a good time for all the opposite sides to turn down the political rhetoric, and listen to Sly and the Family Stone's music and message! Different strokes, for different folks, we got to live together. We used to be able to agree to disagree. Let's get back to that :)
Your kid born in 82 still listening to it in 2019. 🤩😍😊
When Miles Davis saw this band live he realized the music world was changing. In a way, the jazz-rock and fusion that he created came out of this music.
This Song Went To Number 8 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1968.
53 years old !!! Christ on a bike and it still sounds magnificent 👌😍
Music legends for sure.I will always love their music ☺️
Great song! All Squares go home. Priceless.
Still makes get that funky feeling...and up on the dance floor!!! Such a great dance song!!!
I grew up in Philly an it didn't matter what radio station you listen to they all played Sly& The Family Stone.From W.F.I.L,W.M.M.R.,W.I.B.G.,W.H.A.T.,an W.D.A.S.Pop,Rock an R&B stations They all played their music.Everywhere an anywhere there was a Sly concert the house packed.For me one of the greatest groups in my lifetime.P.S I born in 1954.Please Pass The Music Torch.
This is One of my FAVORITE Songs by Sly and The FAMILY Stone
The Sly and the Family Stone was like a fun and soulful "Blood, Sweat and Tears", which was sent on many a diplomatic tours for music exchange to places like the Soviet Union. Sly and the Family Stone would have been a welcome international sight for many living in a closed society of that generation and period.
How I live for the good old days!!!!! Thanx for posting!
Sly & The Family Stone showed us that with their great music and style, tuxedos and dress suits were not a requirement to be successful.
Love the way they bring in the band.
Fantastic - thanks to all the cool musicians of the 60s!
あがる↑↑。願わくば人生ずっとこんな感じで行きたい。
Before the existence of discomania this late 60s band Sly and the Family Stones already made waves of this type of funk music.
This song is perfect
Happy Birthday to Sly 🦝🐼 Stone Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Grew up in the sixties...loved Sly and the Family Stone, still do! Always makes me feel good!
A seamless , joyous perfect song ❤️
Proud to say that this was the first 7" single I ever bought. Music truly has no colour.
All the squares go home!!! 😄
Man, I've been wondering for about 50 years what she was screaming. Thanks.
green light
Sly was always my favorite groove 💫✨🌟
永遠の名曲
Sly and The Stones: Pure Genius in Music. God bless those guys today. If Sly sees this, I caught your documentary a couple of years ago. A blessing to see you.
My uncle was a high school band director in the 50s🤙💝🙏
One of my favorite groups of all time! I adore you all.
Saw them tonight! FANTASTIC!
Love that bass with the heavy fuzz added
Great dance music, it used to get me up every time it was played.
This is a straight classic! Sly & The Family Stone are legendary! Thanks for uploading @ VEVO
AWESOME SENSATIONAL BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AMAZING!!!!!
Dayumn indeed... that bass vibrated in my soul...still does...
I was a teen back then. Until I listened to this I'd forgotten how fantastic these dudes are. In fact I appreciate them more now than then and I'm 67.
I am 66 and I Love that Song 🎶
Amazing love it, haven't heard this for years! Used to play it non stop extended version 12 in when I was 15! Now 50!
There's an entire Universe in this track! Thanks Jah for Sly Stone!
Great band and song! I first heard this as a kid growing up in East Palo Alto, CA. I used to listen to KFRC back in the day. Today I’m almost 65 and still love the old funk and the Motown sound. ♥️
Great song, incredible band🙌🎶❣️
I love sly. Great soul. Praying for his divine healthy life prosperity. Sweet guy and total music genius. Greatest funk
Your right that's real soul music! The instruments are all amazing how they all sound together.Lives on as it was on day one when you first heard it! They would say back then "that's so fly...just dig it!" My 1960-70's phrase book of words ppl would say lol.Peace,Love and happiness!
God Bless You Cynthia! One fine trumpet blowin' sista!!!!!!!
