Sly and the Family Stone have released a new animated video for their 1968 classic, “Everyday People.”
The clip opens with a simple message: “Now more than ever, the Message of this song resonates across the globe…” It goes on to pair the song with a journey through a vibrant neighborhood, the vignettes of individuals and families ultimately coalescing around a moment of unity as a gray city skyline lights up with color.
The new “Everyday People” video is part of the Black History Month program being spearheaded by Sony Music’s hip-hop and R&B catalog division, This Is Certified, in partnership with BET Digital. The “My Black Is” campaign is divided into four thematic parts, each one arriving with a newly curated playlist featuring old and new artists.
