6. Everyday People (Sly and The Family Stone)

Sly Stone wrote this about how everyone is essentially the same, regardless of race or background. Sly and the Family Stone was a mash up of musical styles with band members of different genders and ethnic backgrounds.

Billy Preston played organ on this. Preston has appeared on many famous songs, including some by The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Joan Jett hit #37 in the US with her 1983 cover version. Aretha Franklin, Belle & Sebastian and Pearl Jam also recorded the song, and Arrested Development used it as the basis of their 1992 hit "People Everyday."

This was featured in a series of television commercials for Toyota in the late 1990s.
