[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Checks out with the, "Don't get nothin' on ya". Bad Ass. At 65 (he did ALOT OF DRUGS kids) he was still the coolest cat. Who are we kidding he's still the coolest. This guy is on the Mt. Rushmore of cool.

[@darrickmalloy6909]

He couldn't loose "the Cool" if he wanted to.😎

DAT BAD-ASS BASS WILL ALWAYS BE THE SUBLIME EPITOME OF ULTRA KLEEN, KILLER FUNK.

[@angelaspringfield5584]

Sly was way before his time❤❤❤

[@leonardsmall3783]

Still is before his time. He was so smart to form a diverse band of white guys, Black women, code friends and siblings. No one has a band like this and I believe no one will. All of his songs have messages.

[@mathis2x423]

🔥🔥 when you’re recognized and respected for your music, you don’t do drugs but when you feel underrated, you hide behind the drugs of pain, flowers awesome and Steele is love you sly, and the family stone❤

[@TheBookofTobit]

Wrong. Sly was a hippie. Drugs were a part of the deal. He just couldn't beat it like slthe hippies who went on to become Doctors, Lawyers, and politicians. He was getting pharmaceutical quality coke. Really good stuff. Then, Richard Pryor got him started freebasing and it was over from there. Saddest shit you ever heard.

[@carlosbermejo5430]

Thank you for the sounds

[@leonardsmall3783]

I love Thank you for letting me be myself cause people have always trying to change me into something or someone that they feel I should be.

[@strokerwatson4770]

Awesome video we love you sly

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Gosh it would be awesome for him and Larry graham to hook up folks would lose they're mind!!!!!

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

LIKE it used to be be! Pisses me off. Such a cool band. One of the best ever. Where was Rose in this? That's Vet. Unless I am mistaken. Rose is my girl. Vet is fire. Sly, is the coolest cat ever.

[@lucyhambrick5143]

How sweet it is to here the real funk again I'm tried of not being myself again

[@leonardsmall3783]

Larry Graham was the original bass player member of the Family stone. Then he left to form Graham Central Station.

[@leonardsmall3783]

@@scottfeuerhammer3595He hooked up his sisters to sing’You’re the one and somebody is watching you.

[@TheBookofTobit]

Will never happen. They both tried to have the other one killed. Sadly, Freddy can't either because he played with Larry. It's fkd up. But Sly still sounds good. Voice strong

[@bklynbatallday104]

[@OSIRIS1980WHS]

This best song on STAND album. Glad I saw band twice at MSG, NYC right after WOODSTOCK.

[@clambeandip]
