Get ready to groove and feel the soul! We’ll shine a spotlight on two monumental forces in American music—Sly and the Family Stone and Bill Withers. From Sly’s genre-defying funk anthems to Withers’ heartfelt, timeless ballads, this session explores how these artists blended rhythm, message, and melody to shape the sound—and soul—of a generation.
 
We'll dig into the music, the message, and the magic behind tracks like “EverydayPeople,” “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” “Lean on Me,” and “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Through music videos, photos, and lively discussion, we’ll uncover the cultural impact and personal artistry that made these musicians unforgettable. Whether you're a longtime fan or simply soul-curious, this class promises insight, inspiration, and a whole lot of funk. This presentation will run 1.5 hours with Q&A and discussion— Classes will be streamed and recorded for replay on-demand.
