If You Want Me To Stay...

Yeah, this song has been posted on this board a million times, but I keep looking for a new artist with a new song that can match something like this, and I haven't found it yet. If there is one, please let me know...

Nah, I don't think there's someone contemporary today doing this exact type of music... maybe Childish Gambino's last LP can get you funked up in a mellow groove like this one. Personally I like it.

What are your other favorite Sly songs?

Damn, there are so many... Family Affair, Dance To The Music, Everyday People, Hot Fun In The Summertime... Sly and the Family Stone were played every where when I was a little kid, including the garage band that played them next door to our house and I remember listening through the open window in the spring and dancing all across the room... wink

This one's a favorite...The Skin I'm In. As I listen to Sly, I can't help but think about Prince..and wonder at the fact that Sly is still around in this earthly existence...and Prince isn't. eek

You're not going to find anyone whose even capable of doing this these days but there are some cool funk artists around these days. Check out Diamond Ortiz. I don't know how to post youtube videos on here but he's worth checking out. I think he's on Spotify too but I'm not sure.

Another cool artist I'm listening to is a guy called Boulevards. He's got a song called Tender that I think you might like. I don't have Spotify myself but you might find him there.

If you're looking for a 21st Century artist to match this song, you will be looking for a while.

But might I suggest NxWorries. Though nowhere near his level, Yes Lawd! is like a Sly Stone record remixed by Madvillain.

Van Hunt, Hiatus Kaiyote, and others have done some really interesting future-soul stuff as well.

lol One of my minor pet peeve's is when people compare new artists to legends, or claim to be seeking "the next ______". Obviously Sly was/is one of a kind, but if you are sincerely looking for some more contemporary artists who are influenced by him, I'd suggest Anderson Paak

If you will, so will I

I'm not looking for the next anybody, just good original music.

Man, I don't know, but my nomination for somebody close to copping that style would be Raphael Saadiq...

I wish it were longer, the same with Hot Fun In The Summertime.

I never knew Mica made a video for this song. I love her version of it, though. If you want to listen to one of the best 90's funk albums, check out Mica's "Black Angel", which is where you can find the cover of this particular song.
