Abby Road, Led Zeppelin II, Let It Bleed and Tommy all came out in 1969 and none of the them better than Sly and the Family Stone’s 4th album Stand! released the same year.  This music is as soulful, funky and enjoyable as anything of any era you care to compare it to.  We try to articulate what makes it such a triumph.        Recommended Listening:   Curtis Mayfield Curtis  https://open.spotify.com/album/3tgJmEz0R0ZsRSrpwafp4R?si=2qapT3tzSNGc_wMbpKM4_w   Al Green Linvin’ For You https://open.spotify.com/album/5Rsrk6RO44XS0e5Gz2hxfA?si=tnD95_5tTQmhUi7lavSTrw   James Brown Black Caesar  https://open.spotify.com/album/3Eiwyp3EB66AuXjBI2MYZI?si=hN-mW1eTSayqAr4_1sZl-Q   Parliament Mothership Connection  https://open.spotify.com/album/4q1HNSka8CzuLvC8ydcsD2?si=ZF1kpiZATR2spF4H4nVuUg   Marvyn Gaye Here, My Dear https://open.spotify.com/album/1iVf41qWHZsAk9DwY43WnV?si=o_1RhZZyTt-G57UtZTBRog   Prince Controversy  https://open.spotify.com/album/68qpubhEKJPAKgWarrqfoA?si=6rgOS0pnSreBh293kUPRow   Jane’s Addiction w/ Ice-T Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey    https://open.spotify.com/track/2vJY6FmgufXRAG5XAEmg52?si=v2hNoSRnR8iRrc2o75zLKA   huntsmanhill.com #huntsmanhill Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg
