Sly Stone Documentary Preview (HQ)

[@dockaiser]

Sly is the greatest musician of the early 70's. He had the best lyrics, best music, ... Sly I love ya for what you gave us ...

[@CrowdPleeza]

We've been hearing a lot about the Beatles lately and their influence but it should be acknowledged that Sly & The Family Stone had a HUGE influence on music also. Music today would be very different if it wasn't for Sly & Family coming along.

[@lonhillyer]

Uhhh, ya think?

[@THEMOJOMANsince1959]

Right On !!!

[@CrowdPleeza]

+Caverman Alright.

[@ElixerSue]

I love the Beatles but this is so true. Nothing would be the same right now without Sly, and I don't just mean musically. He did have a huge impact on the world with his spirit. I love him so much. His beauty brings tears to my eyes. He is my role model for peace and love to this day. AND YOU CAN DANCE TO IT!!!

Larry Graham and Sly Stone are two of the greatest funk musicians of all time. Also Sly was a great lyricists.

[@Wise-Lady-La-Aura]

The world would not be the same without the one and only Sly Stone! His smile is so beautiful, his expression on his face is so engaging, his eyes still light up with kindness and enthusiasm. He gave the world such great music, he made this planet a better place! Your music will go down in history for all times! Thank you for everything you've done for us! Love you, Sly Stone! Play on!

December 2023 and I’m enjoying the brand new memoir written by Sly Stone with Ben Greenman; Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin). The book also has a forward by Questlove. Also, just got done watching Sly on David Letterman (1983) where he was interviewed (Sly was charming and intelligent) and sang If You Want Me To Stay, and more. What a talent! God bless Sly Stone.

[@titodiaz8805]

sly--you great man,you payed your dues gave us some music that will fucking be here forever. thanks man.💯

[@albewolf]

God Bless him and the music he made!

[@carolynevers7924]

I know drugs took their toll, but I had no idea he turned out like this. Excellent singer and musician though, no one like him and he was ahead of his time.

[@2011ListenerThe]

it is not just drugs (plenty did acid and more for decades and look normal). Plus, nothing destroys you faster than an addiction to alcohol. It looks like he suffered a massive stroke or had some other major illness. It may have even been something genetic. Doesn't dwarf his talent, though, and glad to see he hasn't lost his spirit.

[@cuppajoe1]

Democracy SOS He is schizophrenic. Paranoid Schizophrenia induced by excessive drug use. I don't believe he won a 5 mil lawsuit or anything close to it.

[@kathleenroulston5437]

According to the book "Sly & The Family Stone - An Oral History" Sly fell backwards and injured his neck. He apparantly refused any medical help hence resulting in a permanent twisted neck and humped back.

[@friskylamar]

Thanks for taking this project on. I can't have been easy! I so look forward to seeing it in full. Sly's music has always shaped how I feel and make music. (and it's great to see he's STILL referencing Lord Buckley!!!)

[@saundragordon-grant6088]

I love Sly Stone! He was one funky dude. His music was pumping in the early 70's!! My mother loved "If You Want Me To Stay," and that's why every time I hear it I think of her. SIP, mom.

[@girlygirlsuehaila]

I Love You Sly! I grew up watching my father dance and listen to Sly and The Family Stone. I am crazy about this music and cannot get enough! I hope this film is released soon. I've watched Sly's Unsung episode like 20 times. I am a huge fan!

[@msaintpc]

As a youngster from '69-72', I'd hike up from Laguna Beach to the Corner Pocket pool hall on the strip in West Hollywood, and he'd pull up in his purple Bentley to go in the rocord store across the street. He was seeing Terry Melcher's Mom, Doris Day at that time. One night he drove through the plate glass window of the record store, and kept right on driving. What a colorful character, and a stoned musical alchemist. Good days, good music.

[@searchlight18]

Sly was one of the most talented of all time.It's a shame drugs wasted his vitality. You can can see his talent and intelligence even now when he speaks.

[@jgrayersqueen]

Joey Audino WELL SAID!!!

[@ElixerSue]

There were people around Sly who had a vested interest in keeping him wazzed. I know he's responsible for his own actions, but he's an INNOCENT soul and it was not a level playing field. Souls that innocent need protection in this world.

[@jgrayersqueen]

ElixerSue I agree. He looks like he has a good soul. Especially when he gets that bashful kind of a smile.

[@tamaforney9893]

lol. We do owe him. I know he was misused some and shorted when he was making it happen. I love and respect you Sly, unlike the interviewers, who probably smoke weed, so there, they are on drugs too. lol.

[@kathleenroulston5437]

[@VisualTedium]

Its not the drugs that need to be stopped, its need need in the human condition to heal the pain inside, thats what leads to drug taking. If we could get to work on our humanity, drugs will be reached for less often. Point the finger at drugs all you want, then point it right back at yourself if you havent done any good to help the soul of your fellow human

[@THEMOJOMANsince1959]

BS People do drugs because they think it will make them Faster,,Smarter,,etc

Sly is a living legend! Prince was inspired by Sly to create a multi - racial band, etc. Also, I just learned that bassist and vocalist Larry Graham popularized the " plucking " style. I was floored when I learned this!

Man, I hope this comes out - I think there's a couple of documentaries in the works, they must be having problems getting them completed. Whatever drugs have done to you, bless you, Sly! To borrow a phrase from one of the many bands that followed in your footsteps: You're a Shining Star, no matter who you are...

[@tommiexander]

to boutirr Exactly. Sly was the man back in the day. But now he is a shell of himself, to say the least. And it's sad to see him this way. But he is still trying to act like he is still the man, with that big ego that he has. Yes he is in denial that the days of the superstar funkmaster, Sly Stone, is no longer there.

[@mootbooxle]

[@assemblyguy]

He is one of the tragic stories of great music. He is a living advertisement for anti-drug use. One of the legends of rock and roll, although still here, really is gone.

[@kidcalabria]

@Eyemallfunkedup I agree. Didn't remember my comment & when I first read yours I thought for a second that you were referring to me. The shift in cosciousness that you mention is what Rock&Roll, especially in the '60s, is all about. I think Sly Stone is a genius, & a man who did that music can't be all bad, as a person, I mean. He belongs to an handful of people who - whatever people say - changed the world, 'cause they changed individuals's consciousness... well, mine for sure. LOVE&PEACE

[@mbass718]

Anyone know if this documentary has been released or still being worked on? If anyone deserves to have a movie made about him it's Sly!! Man I'm praying this movie sees the light of day if it hasn't been released yet. Pretty sure it hasn't cause I Def would have heard about it. If you have any info about it please let me know. Sly's music is still so relavent today and just so joyful. Seeing Larry Graham and GCS back in the day with Some of the members of the family stone was the closest I ever got to seeing Sly..Larry can sing! And back then he had talked about how he wished they could all get together again. This was about 15 years ago..maybe more. Unfortunately it hasn't happened. I can't think of any musician I'd love to see make a comeback more than Sly!

[@TheHouseOfDivasShow]

I'm a Movie & Television Producer. I grew up on Sly & was turned on to his music by my first girlfriend. People stuck on what drugs did, yes that is tragic. But drugs are not his legacy. His legacy in part are his beautiful children, a world that believed in racial harmony & peace, songs so diverse & true that we are still digesting the lyrics. I pray He remembers The God of his youth, The One who is the source of his protection, grace & creativity. Sly holla @ me! Benjamin Jimerson-Phillips

Wondering if there will be any references to that funky red-haired soul buddy who's featured in the collage of the Riot lp.
