Ep. 297 - Sly Stone's Music Impact

Sly & The Family Stone's frontman Sly Stone (Sylvester Stewart), died 6/9 from COPD. Hulu premiered his Sly Lives documentary in February for Black History Month. Going from church, radio, producing, fame, and downfall, he innovated multiple genre's future sounds. I discuss Sly's bio and created a playlist for you to hear his influential sounds by other artists.
