  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Sly and The Family Stone 10K talent contest winners (1968)

This must be the band's big break? Wait a few seconds after the performance for the ending when they win 10,000.
This is a MUST-SEE for any fan of this group or music of this era.

This is an Ohio State talent contest in 1968.

Incredible sift

Saw this on regular TV once er twice...From Denton Texas, to Vallejo California.....go an figure....Church of God In Christ Family raise some soulful souls....

Awesome find SG. This is weird - it's definitely not their big break. They were already signed by CBS at this point. "Dance to the Music" was released in February 1968 and the single was a top 10 hit getting lots of radio time.

Imagine having to follow that with your act at a talent show.
