  • This Day in Rock History – July 27th

    1968: A riot erupts in Chicago’s Grant Park when Sly & the Family Stone fail to show up for a free concert. This is only one of many late or cancelled appearances for the band.

    The group tries to capitalize of the event by releasing an album titled There’s a Riot Goin’ On. The album yields the hit single “Family Affair” and goes on to million-seller status, but the damage to the band’s reputation and popularity never goes away. By January of 1975, the group breaks up following dismal attendance at a concert at Radio City Music Hall.
