    Talent un-matched. Style never duplicated. Some artists cannot be copied. Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Sly & the Family Stone. Have you ever heard them rehearse? I HAVE....FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT. AT HIS POPS HOME ON THE CORNER OF URBANO AND DESOTO DRIVES IN SAN FRANCISCO'S INGLESIDE TERRACE. THEY WERE MY NEIGHBORS. I WAS THE KID ON THE STINGRAY BIKE OUTSIDE OF THEIR GARAGE, SOAKING UP WHAT WOULD BE LATER DEFINED AS FUNK. THEN, I'D RIDE HOME AND TRY TO PLAY WHAT SLY WAS PLAYING ON HIS FARFISA ORGAN IN PRACTICE. CYNTHIA WAS THE KINDEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAD EVER TALKED TO. BEING AN 8 YEAR OLD, I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONVERSATION FOR HER, BUT SHE MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION. LOVE HER FOREVER. 20 YEARS LATER, FREDDIE CAME TO MY STUDIO, AND PLAYED SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET....HE PLAYED A BASS LINE, SPACED RHYTHM, AND A MELODY LINE...ALL AT THE SAME TIME. HE MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET. THEY ALL WERE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME FROM CHILDHOOD, AND I'M INFLUENCED BY THEM IN EVERY SONG THAT I WRITE OR PRODUCE. THANK YOU MY LEGENDS

    Sly was well ahead of his time and was the prototype for Funkadelic, Parliament, even Earth Wind and Fire. He brought rock and soul music together for the first time.
