Queen Latifah has signed on with Sony Pictures Television to host a new syndicated daytime talk show expected to debut in the fall of 2013. The series, which will be co-produced by the rapper-actress, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is being put off so the show won't get lost in the clutter of new daytime programs aiming to fill the void left by the Oprah Winfrey Show.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
