Song of the Day: Sly & the Family Stone - If You Want Me to Stay

I have to admit, I was first exposed to this song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who covered it on Freaky Styley.  I didn't know it was Sly until the soundtrack for Dead Presidents, but hearing it made me run out and buy a bunch of Sly albums.  This is still my favorite song though, thanks in part to one of the greatest basslines ever played on a pop record.
