Although released in 1969, "I Want to Take You Higher" did not begin to get popular until the early 1970s when the funk and soul scene was really taking off. With this song, Sly and the Family Stone sent the simple message through the music that listening to this song will make you get a good feeling and will lift your spirits, a large part of the funk and soul tradition. The relentless rhythmic beat and blues harmonica in this song are why many say that Sly and the Family Stone set disco "blueprints."
