Description

For a time, it seemed as if Sly Stone would change the world and its only because his music was so ambitious. His integrated band played funk-based jams, but always with touches of soul, blues, rock, and lots and lots of pop, a synthesis that spoke to its time even as it predicted the future. Comprising some of the most accomplished and inspirational music ever created, this 20-song set contains all but the last of his hits as well as a few hard-edged album tracks. Until a proper box set is put together, this will have to do.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and Grammy Hall Of Fame inductees Sly & the Family Stone laid down a template that not only inspired an era of youthful rebellion and independence as the ’60s turned into the ’70s, but also had (and continues to have ) a potent effect on the course of modern music in general. Sly’s DNA is traceable to every cell of the musical stratosphere. Stone & Co. Kept the pop and R&B charts jumping for seven glorious years from 1968 to 1975. There are the three career-defining RIAA gold Billboard No. 1 Pop/No. 1 R&B hits, “Everyday People,” “Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Again)” and “Family Affair.” Their signature Top 40 hits began with “Dance To the Music” and went on to include “Stand!”
