Sly was a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator, and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music.
He was the voice of hope at a time of despair. He told us we could make it if we tried because everybody was a star.
In 1969, he didn't necessarily mean the sound of music. He was the voice of American promise at a time when America was reneging.
He made the P-Funk gang sound like Air Supply, and P-Funk remains hot to this day.
