Sly and The Family Stone... If You Want Me To Stay

[ard821]

They don't make music like this anymore. Love Sly and the Family Stone.

[222clocks]

Still very good even without the funkiest bassline ever recorded.

[VoodooKush]

Brilliant

[Diomedes22]

Legend!

[unleadedbrunette]

So freaking sexy and a musical prodigy! He has made some poor choices, but they were his choices. I pray he finds what he is looking for and I pray he finds peace.

[soulbrother61]

class act sly ma man, quality soul music, so inspiratrional to others....top notch...

[lowriderbandfan]

Sly fans, please check out the vid, 'sly sues his former manager' here on YouTube. Then you might get a better understanding of why Sly has fallen this far. Yes, we make our own choices in life, but we don't always know why some of us make those choices. In Sly's case, the devil's in the details and his name is Jerry Goldstein. 

[mydogspet]

People don't realize how many doors he opened for other artists, not only in music, but in acting and other arts.

[leejoliver]

Yeh, I had tickets to see him circa 1983 in UK - he never showed. But what a talent....

[1stSaintsFan]

His concert is in La. and 2 hours after the first act he is still not there...They finally announce that Sly is unable to attend because he had plane trouble in New York...Coked up genius, but still a coked up fuck up...

[1stSaintsFan]

Homeless at times now...I spent all the money to go see Sly & Stone in the 70s heyday...had so called plane trouble in New York and I am waiting in Louisiana for his ass to show 2 hours after showtime...Mutherfucker couldn't even call...fuck SLy...

[mydogspet]

One of the most creative men of his generation. The origional personification of cool.

[Bowskeecho]

@mydogspet I was searching for a way to describe him and you said it perfectly! While IT IS a shame that he has fallen so far, his unbelievably brilliant contribution will remain, forever. God bless you Sly, I hope you find peace and contentment and bask in the joy that you brought to all of us. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LETTIN' ME be a part of your creative wonder.

He makes it look so easy , but if you have ever tried to play like this you know it is not.

[MrPablunk]

quedarse sin recordar lo que se queria olvidar

[Kelfich]

[rolandrog]

No. 1 is gonna be No. 1. OMG, Sly is a black Mick Jagger. 

[bryen23]

"Count the days I'm gone, forget 'bout reachin' me by phone, 'cause I promise I'll be gone for a while."

[honeyflymusic]

I´ll be good. I wish I could...

[thegrovetube]

It's a shame his life is reduced to living in a van. Here is Sly Stone performing one of his last hits. He has so much talent that he made the Mike Douglas house band sound hip. Enjoy "If You Want Me To Stay".
