Editorial Notes:

The bass player, Keni Burke, did a solo album in '77 called "
Keni Burke". In '94 the album was released on cd with two bonus tracks, "Somebody To You" and "Lady Is A Champ". It was retitled "Remember Who You Are". "The Same Thing" and "Remember Who You Are" were singles. A really underreted album... Other Sly & The Family Stone albums: Dance To The Music '68 Life '68 Stand! '69 There's A Riot Goin' On '71 Fresh '73 Small Talk '74 High on You '75 Heard You Missed Me... '76 Ain't But the One Way '83
The same thing that makes you laugh, can make you cry The same food you eat to live, can make you die The same truth you thought you heared, could be a lie The same thing... - Sly & The Family Stone, "The Same Thing" Go to the Funky Discography or to the Main Page.
