Another great gone

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.

Have "Riot Going On" and "Greatest Hits" on RtR... Sly was massively talented and the band had a truly unique sound... Coke did him in, if my memory is correct. He got hooked so bad that it cost him his band, his record contract and he basically fried his brain. His former label then screwed him over on past royalties, etc. because they knew he wasn't all there mentally anymore and wasn't in any position to challenge them.

Attempted a comeback in the late 70s / early 80s but the mojo and talent level was no longer the same. Truly sad. May he RIP

Another great one gone, thanks to drugs...
