Biography

Sly and the Family Stone, led by the enigmatic Sylvester Stewart (aka Sly Stone), were a pioneering funk band in the 60s and 70s who merged rock with funk, had a sexually and racially integrated line-up, and who famously moved from optimistic party anthems and hippy idealism to drug-induced frustration and paranoia.

Sly and the Family Stone were formed in 1966 when Sly Stone merged his struggling… Read more in Amazon's Sly & The Family Stone Store

Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars "The Best Single Disc Collection To Date", July 1, 2009
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Sly & the Family Stone (Audio CD)
"Playlist: The Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone"...I stumbled upon this one, completely by accident! and I'm so glad that I did. I like to compare this CD to the "Greatest Hits" and "Anthology" albums. Between the 2 the "Greatest Hits" was actually my favorite Sly & the Family Stone compilation because it had 12 of Sly's most essential recordings between 1968 and 1970 and unlike the 20 track "Anthology" album, never got to the point of being boring...after 7 minutes of 'Thank You For Talking To Me Africa' I found myself getting anxious for the "Anthology" to end. "The Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone" has just enough FUNK to keep the listener to stay in the groove from the beginning to end and include some of Sly's later classics..."Family Affair", "Runnin' Away", "Smilin'", "If You Want Me To Stay" and closes with "I Get High On You" Sly's last significant 'HIT' on the Epic record label. Between the "Greatest Hits", "Anthology" and "Best Of S&TFS" the "Playlist: Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone" is the one that gets my vote!

This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Sly & the Family Stone (Audio CD)
one of the founding forefathers of funk Sly Stone had his own bag. one of the greatest songwriters, arranger producer. these songs still as fresh as they did when they were first released. very versatile and a great place to start to a sly and the family stone newbie.innovative and ground breaking
