	Sly Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sly Stone (born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas on March 15, 1944) is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, a band which played a critical role in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia in the 1960s and 1970s.
		After the family moved from Dallas, Texas to Vallejo, California, he and his brother Freddie and their sisters Rose and Vaetta formed "The Stewart Four" as children, performing gospel music in the Church of God in Christ and even recording a single in 1952.
		On August 15, 2005, Stone drove his younger sister Vet Stone on his motorcycle to Los Angeles' Knitting Factory, where Vet was performing with her Sly and the Family Stone tribute band, the Phunk Phamily Affair.

		Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing a number of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have a multicultural lineup, giving African-Americans, White Americans, males, and females all roles in the band's instrumentation.
		Sly Stone continued to record solo albums and tour under the "Sly and the Family Stone" name from 1975 until 1987, when he was arrested and sentenced for cocaine use.
		Similarly, the Sly and the Family Stone sound was a melting pot of many different influences and cultures, including James Brown proto-funk, Motown pop, Stax soul, Broadway showtunes, and psychedelic rock music.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Family Stone (2005)
		Most of the laughs in "The Family Stone" hit home because they are so cringe-inducing—not from being raunchy, but because of the mortifying authenticity and nuances found in its portrait of a woman forced to interact in close quarters with an extended family as different from her as night and day.
		Rachel McAdams (2005's "Red Eye") continues her rise toward become the next major movie star with her tricky role as Amy, arguably the least likable member of the Stone family, but also one that is never one-dimensional and, by the end, is shown to have a bigger heart than she lets on.
		With "The Family Stone" turning an eye toward a fatal disease that one of the characters has, there is a first moment of apprehension on the viewer's part that turns out to be unfounded.

		When he was 16, Stone had a local hit with "Long Time Away." He studied the trumpet and music theory and composition in school and began playing on the Bay Area music scene, sometimes in groups with his younger brother, Freddie.
		Stone's future albums were commercial disappointments, as Stone was in the news more for his drug arrests than his music.
		Stone had mixed fortunes in 1987: His single "Eek-a-Bo-Static" bombed, and he was jailed for possession of cocaine.

	Family Stone, The (2005): Reviews
		The Family Stone may not be super-serious or even, well, sly, but none of that matters: this is a warm and engaging film that is sure to become a perennial Christmas favorite.
		The slapstick weeper The Family Stone is a lump of coal brightened by four diamond-sharp performances.
		In place of the dysfunctional family Christmas story we've come to expect for the holidays, The Family Stone gives us a cheerfully uncensored, generic counterculture clan and tosses a tightly wound control freak into the center of their holiday celebration.

		Sly and the Family Stone harnessed all of the disparate musical and social trends of the late '60s, creating a wild, brilliant fusion of soul, rock, RandB, psychedelia, and funk that broke boundaries down without a second thought.
		Before Stone, very few soul and RandB groups delved into political and social commentary; after him, it became a tradition in soul, funk, and hip-hop.
		Stone appeared on Jesse Johnson's 1986 RandB hit "Crazay." The following year, he dueted with Martha Davis on "Love and Affection" for the Soul Man soundtrack; he also he recorded "Eek-a-Bo-Static," a single that didn't chart.

	The Family Stone Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		When the favorite son of the Stone family brings his uptight girlfriend home for the holidays, the members of this close-knit clan unite in the common cause of getting rid of her.
		Here, his Everett Stone comes off as such a dour, uptight bore that you wonder how he ever won his place as the family's "golden boy." Meanwhile, Parker's Meredith Morton is so high-strung and clueless she makes Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw look positively saintly.
		In addition, though Meredith is a self-conscious wreck whose foot stays firmly planted in her mouth, the Stones are gunning for her from the second she arrives at the family's comfy Connecticut country home.

		Meredith recruits her sister Julie (Claire Danes) to help her thaw the Stone family cold front, and after building a solid emotional foundation for his holiday comedy, Bezucha starts to stack the deck with plot developments that, while heartwarming, border on the absurd.
		Family Christmas celebrations can be brutal, revealing, messy, enlightening, fun, bloody: a time when the truth comes out in the open or is reverently hidden away.
		Meet the dysfunctional family where women fall in love with their sister's fiancés and men fall in love with their brother's fiancé, the grandmother curses in front of everyone and children call their parents by their first names.

	"The Family Stone" - Salon
		Together, the Stones laugh at and needle one another with obvious affection, but you sense undercurrents of resentment and disapproval, too.
		Parker is made to look like a villain when one of the little Stone nieces breaks the heel off one of her fancy shoes; later, she sits at the dinner table and asks Keaton very adamantly if she wouldn't have preferred a "normal" son to a gay one.
		But then, nearly everyone is relaxed and likable in "The Family Stone": McAdams plays the kind of character you want to shake -- hard -- and yet somehow, she lets you see glimpses of the insecurity that makes her behavior so unbearable.

		Then sanity returned: "Junebug" intends to be a great film, and is, and "The Family Stone" intends to be a screwball comedy, and is, and all they have in common is an outsider coming into a family circle.
		Waiting in the hometown are Everett's family: His mom Sybil (Diane Keaton), his dad Kelly (Craig T. Nelson), his brother Ben (Luke Wilson), his gay and deaf brother Thad (Ty Giordano), and his kid sister Amy (Rachel McAdams).
		"The Family Stone" is silly at times, leaning toward the screwball tradition of everyone racing around the house at the same time in a panic fueled by serial misunderstandings.

		— he and his group, the Family Stone, fused soul, rock and funk into a dynamic sound that changed all three genres forever and played a profound role in the creation of hip-hop (his songs have been sampled and covered many, many times).
		The album became the group's first gold disc, "Everyday People" was a #1 single, the group arguably stole the show at Woodstock — and just as the Family Stone were reaching the top, it all started to unravel.
		The Grammy performance — Sly's first with the original Family Stone since 1971 — was a halting, confused affair and a complete disservice to his music.

		She's the uptight girlfriend of buttoned-up Everett Stone (the dashing Dermot Mulroney), who brings her home to the family manse in a bucolic New England college town for the holidays.
		Given the Stones' trademark of bohemian eccentricity, and that she's an impeccably styled IPO manager whose hair is pulled back tighter than a prima donna ballerina, the visit seems doomed from the get-go.
		One night at a family feast, her remarks are misinterpreted as homophobic and racist.

		Besides, Freddie Stone unleashes lots more wah wah guitar, and Martini and Errico also solo, as the Family Stone again show how each separate member brought something special to the table.
		Sly became a drug addict and his behavior became increasingly erratic, which caused The Family Stone to fragment amid a legendary number of missed concert gigs that almost wiped out all the good vibes his previous work had garnered.
		Simply put, Sly & The Family Stone were one of the best American bands ever, and all the evidence you need to build a convincing case is right here on these 2 compact discs.

		Everett Stone brings Meredith home to meet his family at Christmastime, intending to propose to her.

		The Stones emphatically state that homosexuality is not a choice, and even though Meredith doesn't mean to be disrespectful when broaching the topic of homosexual couples adopting children, she's portrayed as an intolerant prude for having any concerns at all.

		But "The Family Stone" spends too much time on unconvincing romantic-comedy contrivances to be consistently engaging.
		Fans of the actress and of Sarah Jessica Parker, in her first major post-"Sex and the City" film role, will flock to the holiday offering, which should be a draw for older audiences and women.
		But families have a way of laying low our best defenses, and as this gathering unravels, Meredith's chief ally is not her boyfriend but his brother (Luke Wilson, in one of the film's best performances), a documentary film editor exuding a soulful -- and cannabis-enhanced -- serenity.

		The Family Stone is as stuffed with beguiling performances — some of them unexpectedly good — as its script is overstuffed.
		Plunked from an intended earlier opening date into today's warm and fuzzy mid-December slot (a sign of studio confidence), this is the seasonal family comedy that emerges at the end of every year, the kind that's safe for Grandma.
		Of course, you wouldn't know from the same ads that fatal illness is a key plot component, that one of the family's five siblings is deaf and gay and wants to adopt, or that a seemingly straight-arrow dad likes funny stuff in his brownies.
