7 SLY & THE FAMILY STONE Fresh 1973 (Columbia) ''It's one of the first records to experiment with the drum machine. 'If You Want Me to Stay' is a great song.''

Description: THE MAN. THE MUSIC. THE BAND. THE HITS. THE RIOTS. THE CONTROVERSY. THE STRUGGLE. THE DOWNFALL. THE LOST YEARS. THE LEGEND. THE STORY OF THE MAN BEHIND THE HITS: “Dance to the Music,” “Stand,” "I Want to Take You Higher,” “Everyday People,” “Sing a Simple Song,” “You Can Make It If You Try,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime," “Everybody is a Star,” “Thank You(Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” “Family Affair,” and “If You Want Me to Stay.”
Great list. Thanks for including Fresh by Sly and the Family Stone. It's one of Sly's most underrated. It is true that he did experiment with the drum machine. He started to do this on the album that came right before Fresh, There's a Riot Goin' On. I write about these albums and more in my book about Sly. check it out HERE.
