Sad fall for Sly Stone. He was one of music's true geniuses and it is sad that he is isolating himself, but neverless his music will live on forever. Long live Sly & the Family Stone!

Happy 79th Birthday, Sly. Stand! & There's A Riot Goin' On are timeless albums.

A band that was TRULY ahead of their time. In all; due respect no slight at anyone but the most influential self contained band and possibly the greatest self contained band in the rock era ( 1948 to now). Happy Birthday SLY
