Greatest Hits - Sly and the Family Stone (1970)

Sly and the Family Stone created a musical utopia: an interracial group of men and women who blended funk, rock and positive vibes. Greatest Hits followed Stand!, a politicized album with songs such as "Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey," but Hits focused on gorgeous non-LP singles like "Hot Fun in the Summertime" and "Everybody Is a Star," as well as rump shakers such as "Everyday People" and "Dance to the Music." Sly Stone ultimately discovered that his utopia had a ghetto, and he brilliantly tore the whole thing down on There's a Riot Goin' On, which does not refute the joy of his earlier music.

Total album sales: 500,000

Peak chart position: 2

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
