      @@Irene-qe5hu Yes. Last I heard he lives in a van in California. On the street where the van is mostly parked, a neighbor is gracious enough to allow Sly to enter his home daily to the bathroom for hygiene and relief. It's terribly sad that he now has been reduced to living like this, but he can no longer make a living performing music, because he's been blacklisted by many music promoters.

      It’s 2023, I’m 66. I have been Blasting Sly since I was 12 or 13, 6th or 7th grade. I had not even heard about Woodstock. Had to be tremendous! I was still more of a kid then. 53 years later, Still Blasting! Unless, He was singing softly to me alone. 💋💐, so cute, wonder what he was like, as companions, or when having a date sitting home watching tv, as friends (No benefits) when he let Sylvester out. I think quiet and shy. I think he is 80 now, Who does he listen to? Sly, Brilliance, Tenderness and Funk💕

      The truth is back then,other than in the big cities,the typical black and the typical white had no problems with each other. I grew up living a block away from a black neighborhood in Virginia,and we never had any problems with them,and they never had any problems with them. Used to walk past several black bars/dance halls to get to the Friday night football games at the high school as a 8 to 10 year old,and never once even had anyone shout a name at me.

    Sly and the Family Stone was my introduction to Funk and Jazz. My brother had a couple of their albums and I would listen to them when he wasn't around. I was 8 or 9 when I first heard them. I grew to like groups like EW&F, Brothers Johnson, James Brown, and Temptations for the Funk & Motown sounds. I also came to like the music of the late 60's / early 70's for Rock n'Roll. But I always turn up the radio for the songs of Sly & the Family Stone, just great to listen to on a drive.

    Music makes your woes go away
    Music sooths the soul the do say
    Music is everyday for you to play
    Music in your heart is your ballet
    That beat keeps one from going astray

      Although not so much here, the drummer was sort of one the first guys to publicly express paradiddles between feet and hands in Rock.
      I know it sounds crazy, but true.

    Man, I heard this tune when I was young! I loved Sly and the Family Stone! Lived not far from Motown, too! Those were the days! So much funk and soul. I grew up hearing the best of the best!

    Saw them at the Warehouse in Ithaca in '68. They were an hour and a half late; but worth the wait.

    WOW, Love this band, immensely!!!! This band was way ahead of its time with regard to Civil Right and having an integrated band, and is why I'm a musician. Bands' don't judge you by the color of your skin, sexual preference, but instead, its about how well you play and fit in to the music!!! This band rejuvenates my soul every time hear them!!!
