Storyline
Featured review
Sly stone was a genius, a tremendous success from 1968-1972, and a pioneer of multiracial rock funk & pop.
His greatest hits lp is beyond great.
Unfortunately his career was derailed by drugs booze and not showing up for live gigs, destroying the band and ultimately Sly himself. Ironically, sly worked very hard for ten years to attain his success by showing up on time and being there. His unraveling remains one of the mercurial questions of rock history.
That he was an all time great, there is little question. Sly and the Family Stone were inducted into the rock n roll HOF in 1993.
Sly is still living. He should be touring like Dylan, but he chooses not to. He remains an enigma within a riddle.
