Sly Stone, the revolutionary musician and dynamic showman whose Sly and the Family Stone transformed popular music in the 1960s and ’70s and beyond with such hits as “Everyday People,” “Stand!” and “Family Affair,” died Monday at age 82
Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, had been in poor health in recent years. His publicist Carleen Donovan said Stone died in Los Angeles surrounded by family after contending with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments. More
I liked his music then – I listen to it fondly now. RIP Sly.
And the one no radio station would ever play today…

RIP
I’ll take Sly over Wonder any day.
Now that was some GOOD music.
One of a kind, and it was a good kind. RIP Mr. Stone.
Dance to the music. RIP.
Great song and lyrics. Greg Errico’s drumming here is the definition of ‘locked in the pocket’. Great job guys and gals. Reached #1 in the U.S. and stayed there for four weeks in March of ’69
RIP Sly

RIP Sly Stone; I enjoyed your music.
RIP, Sly.
I was looking up the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of Sly & the Family Stone and was surprised to find out what the refrain was:
I want to thank you falettinme
Be mice elf agin
Back when Black Music was…music.
Hot Fun In the Summertime…one of my top ten.
Dance To The Music: My personal favorite!
RIP Sir.
Unique talent and ability. Absolutely the most influential on my musical development of the time. Mom and dad HATED it. But I didn’t care. Joy in every piece no matter what the feel meant.
Good man, tough life, great music. RIP Sly and thanks for the music.
