847. I Want To Take You Higher by Sly and the Family Stone (1969)

"I Want to Take You Higher" is about the feeling music brings to people. At the time, music was life to people. It was not like today where music is essentially background noise. The Woodstock version of the song is particularly notable with the interplay between Sly and the crowd.
