I can only agree with others here, as much as I will always be a diehard fan of Prince and the great, GREAT Mr. James Brown (RIP James), and the funk mastery of George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic.­..there will NEVER be anyone or anything quite like Sly & The Family Stone. I can only wish to think such an artist or band would ever come to be in our lifetime with such talent, soul, funk and artistry. Music like this makes my heart sing...

@kingofdaundaworld George said himself that Sly was one of his favorite artist if not his favorite. True artist pay much respect to each other without having to compare themselves. They draw energy from each other not drain energy. George respects Sly to the utmost. I say do the same for many of these artist's mentioned above. Thank God we have some many great artist's from this era to listen to. Each bringing a different flavor for us to enjoy!

@UrantiaMansion Sly has been dead for a long time man

Sly Stone is one of the baddest musical artists ever,directly from the school of Ray Charles, and still had his own bag.truly one of a kind then and now

Funkdogg--you and I are cool...I don't mind sharing important info with you or anyone else who cares to be enlightened...There are things I don't know that I hope you'll also enlighten me as well. I'm always in a learning mode and there are plenty of things I can learn from you as well. One is a walking zombie of arrogance when they think they know it all--and I hoped we all learned from Sly about both the positive and the negative...Peace and stay in touch my brother!

@UrantiaMansion after reading all reply's it's obvious that you know what you are talking about. i see there is much i don't know about what's going on in the industry. it's very interesting to read the things you write

@kingofdaundaworld I agree--see some of my comments about Minneapolis--Prince is very programmed down to the tiniest move--and other than Brown and Stevie--he copied most of his funk and groove concept from Sly and of course while being supremely talented, he is not as spontaneous as his mentors in addition to Eden Prarie where he lives being very isolated and on the outskirts of town. Brown, Clinton, Stevie, and Sly liked to be in the center of the nightlife and people all the time...

[UrantiaMansion]

There is no original Minneapolis funk because the history of the city is a Scandanavian and German descent dominated culture as it remains today. They were also late in getting the black trends that were normal for the other urban areas of the United States. Therefore they had to borrow and modify what was out there as far as black funk and R&B to come up with a more watered-down version dressed up with the pimp swagger and porno to over-compensate...They study and copy pretty good...

[UrantiaMansion]

@loosestudios You are right on evrything with one clarification--he was eventually fired after not wanting to return when Sly put a hit on him and don't forget Sly's favorite pitbull that almost beheaded his own son requiring over two hundred stitches to repair which led to Sly's ultimate breakup among other things with his wife. Larry did not originally want to leave--he was forced out by threats on his life and family...

[UrantiaMansion]

@mackmccann He didn't leave--he was forced out because Sly put a hit on him which is why they don't communicate to this day...Most of the last album they did together "There's A Riot Goin' On" was done by Sly, Billy Preston, and Bobby Womack. Larry was only on one track and you can tell when Sly is playing the bass nad he's using the drum machine prominently...

[UrantiaMansion]

For those of you wondering in regards to Larry Graham and Sly--the big breakup occurred when Sly was in his pitbull gansta phase being self-centered and arrogant with the cocaine streaming 24/7 in his system clouding his good judgement--put a hit on Larry making him flee town in fear...He is now on Prince's permanent payroll in the Twin Cities doing double duties as a Jehovah's Witness minister and sometimes playing with the band...
