Sly Stone Or Aretha's "Everyday People" I don't know. I was never able to get into Sly & the Family Stone, so I prefer Aretha's version.

Is this really a question?
I was 7 when Aretha put her's out and it was one of the worst things she ever did (she redeemed herself with "Ever Changing Times" though) so SLY! | |

Oh good heavens....its all about Sly. His version is the bomb. I dunno what Aretha is thinking here. Love her but she can't successfully remake every damn thing.
You want a good sample? Arrested Development's Everyday People is awesome! I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

NOW WE'RE TALKING!
That's a better comparison. I still go with Sly's but Arrested Development's was damn good.
Aretha's reign as the "remake queen" was over by the time she did her version. Whitney had took her spot (I know kitbradley but it's the truth | |

Even so it wasn't even a cover but an interpolation but still with the same message.

Yeah, you are right. She did take Aretha's spot, if only for a brief moment.
I knew this topic would cause a stir because I know most of her fans not only hated this song, they hated the entire "What You See Is What You Sweat" album! I was listening to it in the car yesterday. It's an album that I revist every now and then and I honestly don't see what's so horrible about it. She did much worse back in the 70s.

Are you kidding me? There are no Sly remakes that supercede the original versions! Release Yourself | |

I prefer Sylvester Stewarts version. I think he should do his stuff and she should do her own stuff. They are both music icons. There must be a reason why...

Man, love Aretha but as the others said. I feel she slept on that cover big time! lol. Sly rules this one Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
