interview with Sly

- I had a rare chance to sit down and ask one of my all time favorite artist questions about music and the life of a superstar. Sly Stone is my Cousin. He is as real as it gets.
The Funk that I do is inspired by Sly stone & George Clinton. I've sat in a room with them and asked all kinds of questions. They are great mentors and never sugar coated anything. bit.ly/Manifesting_the_funk

What would life be without FUNK!
SLY IS MUSIC
Sly is and will always be one of the greatest musicians that ever graced this spinning turd ball...
Comments on Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra were priceless. The Miles stories were priceless. Sly is Fort Knox.
Sly Stone on the economy now! What a great guy and musician. He's so right about politicians.🌝
Sly is a national treasure. He's such a wonderful person. We need more people like him on this planet.
Sam Larue No he's a global treasure...😁
YES PEOPLE LOVE HIM IN EUROPE TOO. HE IS GENIUS LIKE MILES DAVIS AND RICK JAMES AND PRINCE AND MJ.
More people should see this: he talks a lot of sense.
One of my favorite Sly interviews! The guy that did this has class! If I was Sly, he's the only guy I would have ever talked to. Thanks for showcasing the real Sly. He's always A fucking 1 to me.
Wow! SLY IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES!! Tha ks for this window into his world. Amazing! Not a month goes by without him and the family rocking out my house. I wish more people were into unity these days. The script has seemed to flip to devision being the "it" thing. God bless Sly and you for all the great things you give the universe. We MUST unite now. It feels too late but i know the big man has a plan amd that it is possible.
Thank you and I know he would say thank you as well. He is doing this year 2023
Cori, don't know you, but we share the same thoughts. This world is great, but it's negative evil folk who ruin it for those of us who just want to get along and praise the creator for the blessings. I believe that there will be a better.... Some of us got a sample of that when we were kids ✌🏽
His voice is strong. He is healthier here. I love it
Sly is surely soul brother number 2, second only to James Brown. I remember listening to his lyrics and waving my right hand like I was at church.
Great interviewer. I saw other interviewers on RUclips who are novice, disrespectful, condescending, ambush journalists that should be removed. They have no place interviewing this iconic legend. This guy is casual and authentic and lets Sly speak. And he addresses Sly with such deference and courtesy.
At least this kid showing the kinda respect that a musician the caliber of sly stone deserves,Sly Stone is one of the most talented ever,and he wrote great lyrics too
Great interview. Good questions . Good flow. And actually lets him answer the questions without interrupting. Kudos.
Thank you
Finally, a current Sly interview with substance.
Sly, if you can see this, please go on, make music, you saved my soul with ""poet", when i was a kid in depressive, grey commie Poland, back in the 70s. Go on, Man, you have a mission to do!
You funky than. Check out Dag
i love the bass in his voice
+Love2The9s Very underrated voice.
You can hear it a family affair in his voice as he's talking awesome
great interview ... its good to see sly still out here
I love this interview young man you treated him with a lot of respect I truly appreciate that and he sounds very good
Seemed to stillHave his voice at this time
My opinion ...such as it is.....Sly (as messed up as he is) Still understands that today's music sucks .....HE KNOWS!!!!!! You just cant do enough drugs to appreciate Justin Beiber. It just cant be done. Awesome guy Sly is....He has a place in music history. I wish he would understand that...might help him to know that he was ...and still is soooo appreciated.
I was waiting to hear him fire up the boss trike!
A legend who gives a damn
If you could have anything in the world; what would it be? Sly Stone, "Better Politicians.". Man, Sly has such good character! A man for the people. The most thoughtful, kind, and caring person ever. May he live in peace and safety.
Amazing Person
I know this is a few years ago, but thank you for giving this legend an interview and letting him speak. You were very respectful, your questions were meaningful and it’s obvious that Sly enjoyed speaking to you.
Couldn't agree more. I've seen some down right disrespectful ones and it really hurt my soul. This man is a legend - I mean even 'Rhythm Nation' is sampled from him.
I have a lot of sly stories. His view on creativity is amazing
Proud to say that, as a 8 year old, I had the unique gift of sitting on my stingray bike in Sly's fathers driveway on the corner of DeSoto and Urbano Drive in San Francisco's Ingleside Terrace district, and listening to Sly and the Family rehearse every week for years. I lived on Urbano Drive and didn't know that they were famous, but these young adults were the funkiest, coolest, and kindest people this young kid had every known. They were my neighbors, and I was the only person out there listening everytime. Cynthia was always SO nice to me, and Sly was the coolest. I learned from this group before I learned to really play keys. I thought of them each time I played on Arsenio Hall, and I would TESTIFY that SLY influenced me to be free-thinking and unlimited with the possibilities of sound, Anything goes if you feel it. -Stevio Rome
Wooooow I know that must have been grand!!!! Do you think he would remember you?
@@1masterfader I was 8, 9, 10 years old at that time. As I could describe everything about the location, their vehicles, house, etc., I doubt that Sly would remember me after 50+ years, but I'd surely ask him. These were likely, the best days of his life. Ironically and over 20 years later, a guitar friend brought Freddie Stone to my studio in the Bayview district of S.F. Freddie is a master of the funk and I am witness.
Cori, do you still see Sly? I'm out of the country now, but would dig seeing him and meeting you as well. Wanna ask you to check my channel, and like or subscribe. All my work samples there. maybe you'll notice a Sly influence. He was truly a nice brother. And Cynthia too.
Legend 🙏🤩
This is great thank you for sharing
Lawd, *please* tell me that Sly is, deservedly, living *well* off of his *glorious,* game-changing, songs.
HE IS
@@1masterfader is he doing good nowadays? i wish he made a comeback someday, he still has a lot of fans all over the world, young ones too!
Much Love and Respect Sly
After having watched this particular video a couple of times, it seems clear to me that something happened to Sly shortly after this video was recorded. He still had a deep and powerful voice and he was articulate and his thoughts flowed and made sense. When you watch anything from 2011 onwards (after this video was made), it's a DRASTIC change. His voice is gone. It's pretty much a hoarse whisper and sadly so is his mind and thoughts. He has trouble putting a sentence together, has great difficulty remembering what he was saying and seems very disoriented, lost and confused, as though he either had a major overdose/bad trip which did some serious damage to both his vocal chords and mental faculties, or he's experienced Alzheimer/dementia. Either way, the contrast between this Sly and the one from 2011 onwards is scary different. It's as though he is a completely different person.
Solid observation, one that I hadn't really observed being so drastic & rapid. I remember him in the eighties being on David Letterman and doing a duet with Jesse Johnson, and he was in fine form. I'd always wondered how we change from that, just in a matter of 10-15 years to something else. But you're correct, here ,he also seems very coherent and lucid. Even though a huge fan, I hadn't really peeped how quickly things seems to escalate. He seems extremely shaky presently. A sad thing to see...... you always want to see that genius, and that spark again.
The guy from polite paparazzi is rude and annoying and hounds Sly for an interview when it's clear Sly doesn't want to be bothered.
He's stil Sly though. Focus on that. People get old and frail. He's blessed to still be alive after all the junk he's used. He's still here. As a matter of fact it's the crack smokers that tend to live the longest. Look at all the ones we've lost. No need to mention names. But guys like Sly, George Clinton are still around. That's gold to me. All the dope fiends are dead though.
Danimal300zx he said in one of those paparazzi interviews that he had been kidnapped b4, so along with anything else he may have been through his story is very interesting..im only 30 and can appreciate this man as well.
Good Point!!!
People forget that Sly Stone is 74 years old and he's been Higher that half of us put together and as we get older we will all lose that youth and some of those good looks as well as our voices are gone.
Nice to see Sly so coherent here! When was this recorded?
Looks like the 7-Eleven parking lot. He had some GREAT music.
Great interview. thank you.
It's so good to see Sly, more interviews with him please :)
Dope interview sir.
Sly. I've jammed with You and the Band since the 60's. You're still the Man.
We love you sly!!!!!💙💚💜💛❤🌍🐱🍀🌲🐍
All my respect to you Cori, wonderful interview, don't know what else to say, you really showed his due respect to Sly, and the Miles stories, out of this world. Thanks man for a great, great moment.
Thank you. I visited him earlier this week and he is doing great. I just released My Jazz EP. Check it out. You hear the Sly Influence on "Why Is this Funky". soundcloud.com/corijacobs/sets/the-tikle-ish-e-p
Cori Jacobs
I'll check it out man, I'm the biggest, boldest jazz lover you could imagine. And God bless you for keeping an eye on him, what wouldn't I give to meet him once? Peace for both you and Sly, please give him my love and respect.
Javier Silva me to
Hope you're alright Sly, praying for you King of Funk
I hear you Sly on that voting sh*t...I'm still waiting for someone to vote for!
Yuuup
Yeah I've noticed that about today's music production compared to the 70's. When I listen to 70's music I can usually spot or hear every instrument. With today's music I can't really tell what I'm hearing. But I do hear some good R&B nowadays like from Miguel.
"I never have voted and I ain't gonna until understand who the fuck it is!" lol. Funny, but true.
Dis was a very good interview and the flow went impressively well.
He is right..you had Sly and Fam. Stone, S.O.S. Band, Commodores, E.W.F.. Funkadelic all Had Brass and Percussion sections....He still has good diction when he speaks .didn't know he was 74 yrs old..It shows in the way he answers questions.
Wise within his time ..and transendided his real knowledge into this time
Great interview!
Sly is the man
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Thanx Cori........lifetime Sly listener
Quest love and Common are tapped to do a new doc on SLY.
Well, here he still has a voice, 2015 it was almost gone.
I like this episode of whacky racers
The Funk that I do is inspired by Sly & George. I've sat in a room with them and asked all kinds of questions They are great mentors and never sugar coated anything. bit.ly/Manifesting_the_funk
'60-'70s: Two steps forward; '80s: One step back.
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you have a real life because you know what to do with what you like to do god is real and always around sly sounds sooooooo good ☮️❤️💯🦋 I
I appreciate that
Thank you :)
Goat
Like a Big Dog
Sly is the greatest ,but the mixed thing started here in Memphis with Booker t, Otis Redding , duck Dunn , Steve cropper , even Isaac Hayes , gotta argue , respect!
You got that right!!
Tomcaatt .Muscle Shoals ! The Swampers !
Sly started the mixed thing as far as interracial band mates was back in Vallejo ca, the viscanes in 1960/61 ,the consist of whites ,black, Philippino .this was a group not session musicians it's a big difference in becoming socially acceptable in society doing that time the great Booker T crew did more session work and look at differently their grooves were tight and fit at that period of time .Stone on the other hand drove the industry crazy & confused because they didn't know how to label them they had booked T vibe , James brown watered down ,Beatle/Dylan lyrics never direct very tricky messages it was like his music was talking to an Chinese, Latino, or the Klan .like George Clinton wants said his music was universal.
Salute Sly
that is Sly's Property
Tf you saying man
How ironic as Sly talks about politicians telling their supporters what they will do but then changing as they take office. With this new election we are already seeing how that happens. Excellent interview by the way.
Love his music Prince, Outkast, Black Eyed Peas all come from his diverse hippy soul music. My parents listened to him I remember as a kid.. Real talk he needs record sum new shit. Tell me I said so. Cherry Martinez
Outkast
I wish we had more instruments in the mix of popular music... D'Angelo was one of the last to do it
Stroke after this interview? Yes, his voice is higher pitched after this interview. What a great talent, hope he makes heaven & he will play music there too. Jesus loves music, heaven is a great place to be.
@Eric: you call that coherent?
@Amanda: he had an injury on his neck. He said in another interview (Mojo magazine # 196, 2010) that he fell down a cliff.
ah, that's what happened. I knew it had to be some major medical illness.
Awesome interview.
Sly could make more sense while "high," which was often, than most "straight" politicians will make in a lifetime! I'm praying for you Sly, get well brother.
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
Sly is always himself , Original !
All to the ways!
Hippy music was/is Organic. Yuppie music is synthetic & manufactured.
His voice isn't as messed up as it would become in a few years after this, such as in 2014. I wonder what happened in between that time, he seems to have lost it or something.
Sly where you out I wanna come get ya baby ❤️😘🙂!!!
What I notice is that mostly, the Real People commented 10, 9, 8 years ago. Since then, the un-for-real folks have landed! 😂
Sly stone should run for office, he,ll be better than those running today
True and remember you said that while Obama was in charge.
Sly can I take it for a spin please
What year was this interview?
Sly sounds powerfull, nowadays he sounds weak im his speaking
***** I saw him not too long ago and he was strong and alert. Dealing with legal issues can weigh anyone down. None the less he is still writing music and it is good music. :)
I'm glad 2 hear this, Last intervieuw I saw he looked very healthy and kind a clean , but it's like when he talks he has no power or breath, in this video he sounds just like the good old Sly with that powerfull, deep , sexy bass voice
the dude is getting old but I still love him
AB -Leen Wilson girlfriend he's seventy, I know your young blood👑
This man is fortunate to still be alive. He's led a hard life and he's in his 70s now. I don't know why it would shock people that there would be some kind of deterioration.
Of course his motorcycle would be a bed.
LOL
What year was this recorded?
Not real sure.
maestro gracias por darle placer a mis oidos
Difference being there lots of music(use that world lightly)but no content where's the danger?
Ask him about jimi hendrix.
He did know Jimmi and said Jimmi was the greatest guitar player he's heard.
wow! that is so cool that Miles would pull a gun on someone just for a laugh.....that is sooooo cool, so hip. I wish Miles was my friend
What's going on with his head and neck.
+Amanda tompkins he fell on his neck i believe, it's an injury
+Amanda tompkins few years ago he fell and broke his neck, pretty bad.
God he's broken. Meandering. No, it doesn't make any sense, Sly. But the precious little of him and his band live that we have is astonishingly great.
Hm
1Video said, accident messed up his neck, head hangs. He choose free sx, drugs, way of the world. Sly, find Jesus by faith. Oh my, HELL is an existence for rejection of jesus' way out. If you refuse Jesus its your choice for a God forsaken existence. Fire shall keep eternal souls that never die.
L0
that is not sly
Outer Space yes sir it is.
JUST-SAY-NO!
Can you see Sly riding that bike? HELL he barely sit in it! So kids do your drugs every day and when you get old this can be you! Poster child on why not to do drugs, How to piss away your life by Sly Stone
This had nothing to do with drugs sly is sitting that way because he broke his neck and cant sit properly
Great interview!
Thank you. He is doing great as of Late :)
@@1masterfader SO good to learn that!!!
