Sly Stone, the influential musician and leader of Sly and the Family Stone, reshaped popular music in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Emerging with hits like "Dance to the Music," he represented a diverse lineup that epitomized the era's counterculture. His 1971 album, "There’s a Riot Goin’ On," marked a radical shift in artistic expression. Battling drug addiction, Sly became reclusive in the 1970s, but his legacy as a transformative figure in music lives on, alongside his recent memoir reflecting on his life and career.
“Sly and the Family Stone embodied the quintessential essence of the late 1960s counterculture, blending rock, funk, soul, and pop into an exhilarating new sound.”
“With 'There’s a Riot Goin’ On,' Sly made one of the most astonishing artistic about-faces, pushing music's boundaries in ways few had ever dared before.”
