Ideas and Concepts:

From the Psychedelic Soul department via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class: "Sly Stone comes out of the primarily white rock scene in San Francisco at the end of the 1960s which produced bands such as The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Janis Joplin, but he was never really thought of as a San Francisco band. Sly Stone was responsible for a genre one can call Psychedelic Soul which had an emphasis on groove, setting up a kind of repeated, rhythmic kind of feel that is laid down between the base and the drums, not so much using melodic instruments but more like using every instrument in the band is a percussion instrument, an interlocking of different parts which creates a groove, and all the music sort of rides on top of that, with catchy lyrics that are hooks that catch the listener's ear, this was the sound that was developed by Sly Stone."
