    Sylvester Stewart (born March 15, 1943), better known by his stage name Sly Stone, is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer who is most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, playing a critical role in the development of funk with his pioneering fusion of soul, rock, psychedelia and gospel in the 1960s and 1970s. AllMusic stated that "James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it," and credited him with "creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds." Crawdaddy! has called him "the founder of progressive soul".

    You know all jokes aside- if there was no Sly I dont think there would of been a Prince. Look at the fashion and the presents. I cant wait until the next super nova mega talent comes out; he or she will have the same natural serious but with a sense of humor gift that those two gentlemen had. Michael Jackson was more out of the James Brown Jackie Wilson vocal dance arm of our American talent. My childhood was spent in this era. I absorbed it just as the mega talents did.

      Prince also got his style from Curtis mayfield also and kiss was one of the bands that prince liked . Maybe princes style of dressing could've been inspired from superfly sly . But it makes sense because all musicians got a few bands that inspired them . Some of my inspirations were black sabbath , kiss , hendrix and prince and Morris day had their parts in me becoming a bass player . But prince was a great guitarist
