December 4, 1971 –
The Sly and the Family Stone song, Family Affair, reached no. 1 on the Billboard charts on this date.
Sly & the Family Stone was indeed a family affair, with Sly Stone’s younger siblings, brother Freddie and sister Rosie, all part of the band. The rest of the group, including bass player Larry Graham, were like family, at least in the ‘60s, when they rose to the top with the hits Everyday People and Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).
