| | HEY BROTHA: Sly, Stone, Sly and the Family Stone, Larry Graham, Little Sister, Jerry Martini, Freddie Stone, Rose Stone, Greg Enrico, Cynthia Robinson, Phunk Phamily Affair, Steve Reese |
 | | Sly had the ability to be BOTH "mainstream and underground" at the same time........he was a "crossover artist", but unlike the man with whom he will forever be compared to (Jimi Hendrix) he was able to "crossover", without losing the Black audience. |
 | | Sly took chances, he stood right out in front, didn't pretend to be "color blind", the inertracial makeup of his band and the unifying FUNK of his music said what he wanted to say. |
 | | And in the case of the younger artists who were onstage with him last night that "Sly Stone" made into a STAR last night, now knows that they have to go forward and be inspired to create great music. |
