FMM: That's Sly

One sign that a song is awesome is when it's sampled, remade or referenced by other musical artists or songs.

Samples are ABBA's "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" which was sampled by Madonna in "Hung Up," and Santana's "Maria, Maria" which was sampled by DJ Khaled and Rihanna's "Wild Thoughts." 

Today's FMM song is a ditty that was sampled and remade several times. It's a classic from way back in the 50s from Sly and The Family Stone. 

It's also a song that you've most likely heard or sung, no matter what your generation you're from:


"Everyday People" is such a happy, upbeat, infectious and memorable song. I'd find myself randomly singing and bopping my head to this song. And listening to it again (and again) today, it's clear to see why. 

Heck, people can listen to this everyday.
