A Whole New Thing was the debut album for Sly & the Family Stone, released by Epic/CBS Records in 1967. While it was released to critical acclaim, it failed to make an impact from a commercial standpoint and did not chart. CBS Records executive Clive Davis prevailed upon band leader Sly Stone to create a more commercial album; the result was the album Dance to the Music.

Unlike the later Family Stone albums, A Whole New Thing was recorded live in the studio instead of being overdubbed, and features less of a pop feel than later releases such as Dance to the Music and Stand!. The lead vocals are shared between Sly Stone, Freddie Stone, and Larry Graham; Rose Stone would not join the band until they began work on Dance to the Music.

In 2001, the song "Underdog" was covered by The Dirtbombs on their album Ultraglide in Black.
