"Sly & the Family Stone" cultivated all of the distinct musical and social trends prevalent in the late '60s. It's all done by creating a brilliant and wild fusion of rock, soul, R&B, psychedelic, and popular funk that astonishingly broke boundaries down without a mere second thought. The band is led by Sly Stone. Actually the band was comprised of talented men and women. The band comprised black and white members and that is truly making the band the first unique fully integrated group in the history of rock. There has been seen a tremendous demand for "Sly and Family Stone" concert tickets, whenever they perform live. No body before this band really delved into social and political commentary; followed fervently by its start and then became a tradition in funk, soul and hip-hop. Along with well known James Brown, the band brought the not so popular hard funk into the mainstream. The arrangements of the band were ingenious very well filled with group vocals, punchy horns, syncopated rhythms and pop melodies. The band was quite popular in the 60s but after climbing the new heights of fame band suddenly disillusioned. Actually stone became addict to a variety of harmful drugs and in this unfortunate process, his music gradually lost its shine and glory and by the time it grew darker and slower. He bounced back with "There's a Riot Going On," in 1971 and this really set the pace for next decade with its slurred vocals, elastic bass, and militant Black Power stance. In 1973, he came again with "Fresh," a modern funk classic. His addictions didn't spare him and slowly he succumbed to it. Nevertheless his popular music continued to provide the so called basic template for funk, urban soul and hip-hop. Sly was born as Sylvester Stewart on March 15, 1944. He had a keen interest in music and by the age of 16, he had a superb regional hit with "Long Time Away."
