Everyday People Sly Stone's pleas for peace and equality between differing races and social groups, a major theme and focus for the band. The Family Stone featured Caucasians Greg Errico and Jerry Martini in its lineup, as well as females Rose Stone and Cynthia Robinson; making it the first major integrated band in rock history. Sly and the Family Stone's message was about peace and equality through music, and this song reflects the same. Unlike the band's more typically funky and psychedelic records, "Everyday People" is a mid-tempo number with a more mainstream pop feel. Sly, singing the main verses for the
Everyday Rapture Garland standards "Get Happy" and "You Made Me Love You" are sung, the "latter amusingly illustrated with a series of cheeky images of Jesus." Songs from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" are also sung. Scanlan described the show as "'a one-person show with four people in it.' The other three, besides Scott, are a younger actor who has an extended YouTube sequence and two women who serve as backup singers—'The Mennonettes'—and share other scenes with her." "Everyday Rapture" debuted Off-Broadway at the Second Stage Theatre on April 7, 2009 in previews, opening officially on May 3, and closed on June 13, 2009.
