Another great gone

Had just saw where the band War got their star on Hollywood Walk of Fame and was reminiscing about the great funk bands from the early seventies, dove into my collection and Sly and the Family Stone album Stand was the first one pulled to play. Sly was one hell of a talent and am so sorry to hear of his passing, he will be missed but not forgotten. Enjoy the music

One of the giants from the 60s is gone. “There’s A Riot Going On” (1971) is a masterpiece IMO and among my top 10 albums of all time. 
 

Truly a great one RIP Sly!

I'll have to play some of his great music next listening session. RIP

I listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic - KCRW on my FM tuner every morning M-F from 9AM-12PM. I spent a lot of money to get some great tuners so I could listen to this station, specifically to the morning DJ. I recently found out that this DJ, Novena Carmel, is Sly's daughter. That made a lot of sense.

Sly Stone was way before my time, but his music must be timeless because I listen to it quite often.
