Cool recording studio scenes with the "Wrecking Crew." Murray Wilson was one of the worst fathers…ever. Dennis Wilson gets involved with Charles Manson. Murray records the "Sunrays."

READY STEADY GO! - UNRELEASED & ALTERNATE - No.1 1960s

The title is misleading because the film is, in fact, an excellent documentary on the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson that features lots of rarely seen footage, serious interviews and one-off performances by Brian while sitting at the piano being interviewed in 1997. A highlight is Brian playing, "Love and Mercy."

UNSUNG 70s SOUL GROUPS - 1 & 2
SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE
Among the most influential groups in the history of popular music, Sly and the Family Stone fused funk, soul, rock, and R&B to create a sound that resonated well beyond the charts. Led by the brilliant and charismatic Sly Stone, it was a sound that reflected the idealism of the 60s, and the fracturing of those ideals in the 1970s. The band's performance at the Woodstock festival in 1969 showed a group at the height of their powers, while suggesting a future of unlimited musical possibilities.
