Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On

There's a Riot Goin'', the classic funk album originally released on December 10th 1971. The album was a commercial success featuring the hit single 'Family Affair', reaching number 14 on the official UK Singles Chart. This was a departure from the optimistic psychedelic soul of previous records and shifted to a more political and militant vibe, perfectly encapsulating the turbulent political climate in the United States at the turn of the 1970s. To this day the album is highly regarded and continues to rank in many publications' best-album lists, including Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All time.
