I have always loved this clip of Sly and the Family Stone's medley on Ed Sullivan. Simply because Ed's strait laced audience cannot resist the enthusiasm of Sly and the band. What made Sly Stone good,was not only his enthusiasm, but his energy and always thinking what was best for the greater good.

You might have been surprised to see how the audience wasn't as uptight as you think. Sullivan promoted a variety of musical and comedic acts that appealed to a wide range of tastes and his audience supported that (or he wouldn't have had an audience). Don't let the attire of the era fool you.
