Sly Stone
July 24, 2007Yesterday Sly and The Family Stone where at the Olympia Hall in Paris. Sly was on for about 4 songs but his “family” did a pretty funky act. I have fond memories of my NYU days listening to Sly (we were quite vintage in my dorm, yes). Sly was instrumental in the development of soul, funk and psychodelia in the 60-70s. He taught San Francisco and the world how to funk & soul.
Last night was cool, short and historical. I am not sure we will see him live again, but we cannot forget songs like Everyday people, Family Affair, and my all time favourite If You Want Me To Stay.
If you do not know Sly and want a bit of history check him out on the PhattaDatta page
