Will.I.am has revealed that LMFAO will make a guest appearance during Madonna's performance at the Super Bowl next weekend. "I'm going to the Super Bowl this year to see my group LMFAO perform with Madonna," the Black Eyed Peas rapper told Capital FM. "Check that out, Will.i.am Music Group is pretty freaking two for two! One year the Super Bowl, the next year another group part of the Super Bowl in collaboration with Madonna. That's still happening."

Before Will.I.am spilled the beans, the only guests rumored for Madonna's halftime show were Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., who are both featured on "Give Me All Your Love," the lead single from the pop icon's forthcoming album M.D.N.A. Madonna and her representatives have not yet confirmed LMFAO as a guest for the performance.

“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.
