‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Covers Sly & The Family Stone’s ‘Everyday People’

Biker drama Sons of Anarchy has covered Sly & The Family Stone’s “Everyday People.” The FX show’s music supervisor and composer, Bob Thiele, was mindful of Sly Stone’s legacy while managing the thrill of playing one of his songs. “Recording ‘Everyday People’ has easily been the biggest challenge I’ve had over the course of working on this show,” Thiele told Rolling Stone. “First of all, Sly. In my book, none better. As big as the Beatles or Stones.”

Much of the difficulty involved expanding “Everyday People” from its original form to five-and-a-half minutes — along with fitting vocalists Audra Mae, Billy Valentine, Katey Sagal, Curtis Stigers and Franky Perez into the track. “Finding a new voice for the song, that’s the challenge and that is what makes this work so gratifying.”
