#RepostSave @officialtowerrecords with @repostsaveapp ・・・ Going to #1 on Billboard chart this week in 1971- Sly and the Family Stone’s "There's A Riot Going On" was titled as an homage to Marvin Gaye's landmark album "What's Going On". For the album cover’s concept, Stone said, "I wanted the flag to truly represent people of all colors. I wanted the color black because it is the absence of color. I wanted the color white because it is the combination of all colors. And I wanted the color red because it represents the one thing that all people have in common: blood. I wanted suns instead of stars because stars to me imply searching, like you search for your star. And there are already too many stars in this world. But the sun, that's something that is always there, looking right at you. Betsy Ross did the best she could with what she had. I thought I could do better." #TowerRecords #TowerRecordsUSA #SlyandtheFamilyStone #SlyStone #Funk #FunkMusic #Soul #SoulMusic #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #musichistory #nowspinning #33rpm #theinternet (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brl3qIfAUX_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ed01pusil9my
