R.I.P. Sly Stone

Made it to 82. What a complete legend of a musician, writer and producer.

Loved his stuff ever since I heard the hit:


He really smoked it at Woodstock too.

I was watching a documentary on him and had no idea he wrote and produced so many great songs for other people. Also well outside funk.

 

[RaceU4her]

one of the greats for sure

Soundtrack of my teenage life, late 60s, early 70s. Amazing times, amazing music by Sly and the Family Stone.
A band that was integrated racially and sexually. Men and women in that band, and black and white in that band, made for some amazing music. RIP

A band that was integrated racially and sexually. Men and women in that band, and black and white in that band, made for some amazing music. RIP

There is something special that happens with an integrated band with high level musicianship. Like a seamless binding of culture without conflict. Some of my very favorite music has been made by multi ethnic groups.
