I saw Sly and the Family Stone twice and they were incredible. See my prior post – link at the bottom.
There are a lot of "GOATs." Then there's the real one. Rest in Power, Sly. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-…

Sly Stone, who died on Monday at 82, forged harmony — musical and otherwise — that he wasn’t able to hold together on his own, our critic writes of the influential musician.

RIP to Sly Stone. Calling someone a genius has mostly lost meaning, except when you apply it to Sly. I'm glad Questlove gave him a revealing and rewarding documentary with SLY LIVES (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS). I wrote about it for @ebertvoices.bsky.social.
