 | | Davis coerced Sly into writing and recording a record that could be a pop hit, and he and the band reluctantly provided the single "Dance to the Music". | | | Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing a number of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have a multicultural lineup, giving African-Americans, Caucasians, males, and females all roles in the band's instrumentation. | | | Sly Stone continued to record solo albums and tour under the "Sly and the Family Stone" name from 1975 until 1987, when he was arrested and sentenced for cocaine use. |

| | Sly and the Family Stone |
| | Sly's knowledge of music and his charming personality led to disc jockey positions at R&B stations KDIA and KSOL, where his shows were popular enough land him a job as a producer for Autumn Records. | | | Sly's offer to sit in on the latter was turned down and the song did not become a hit until it was reworked a couple of years later by the Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick on vocals. | | | The album was ravaged by fallout: from cocaine, from the 60s, from the failure of black nationalism, from the bloatedness of the counterculture and from being a superstar. |

| | Stone became disillusioned with the ideals he had been preaching in his music, becoming addicted to a variety of drugs in the process. | | | Following the album's release, Stone toured with Clinton's P-Funk All-Stars, which led him to embark on his own tour, as well as a stint with Bobby Womack. | | | Stone signed with Warner Brothers that same year, crafting the comeback effort Back on the Right Track with several original members of the Family Stone, but the record was critically panned and a commercial failure. |

| | Sly and the Family Stone was an American rock and funk band that became widely popular in the late 1960s with a string of anthemlike pop singles, stirring socially relevant albums, and memorable live performances. | | | Interest in Sly Stone resurfaced with the "sampling" of many of his songs (and Graham's bass lines) by rap music producers in the 1990s. | | | Sly and the Family Stone was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. |

| | She was the one who first turned me on to Sly's "Dance To the Music" album in 1968. | | | When Sly was a DJ, he would play music from groups like the Beatles and Rolling Stones along with soul music on his radio show. | | | Sly took chances, he stood right out in front, didn't pretend to be "color blind", the inertracial makeup of his band and the unifying FUNK of his music said what he wanted to say. |

| | Sly and the Family Stone is the greatest band ever to grace the world of music. | | | Sly further damaged the family feel by playing most of the instruments on the album and isolating himself from the other band members in a cocaine cocoon. | | | Sly's career in music began early, as the prodigy recorded a gospel song at age four. |

| | Sly Stone/Graham Central Station |
| | Though this is credited to Sly and the Family Stone, there are a million guest musicians, and it's really a Sly solo album. | | | Stone seems to have run out of new ideas by this record; the title song (with a great bass line by Bobby Vega), "Crossword Puzzle" and "Who Do You Love?" are effective, but conceptually they're basically reruns. | | | Submerged anger and bitterness are the watchwords for this unparalleled statement--this is the record I reach for when the shit hits the fan. |

| | SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE |
| | Sly and the Family Stone are credited as one of the first racially integrated bands in music history, belting their message of peace, love and social consciousness through a string of hit anthems that fused R&B, soul, funk and rock n roll. | | | Back in 1967, when the interracial, mixed-gender combo burst onto the scene with their debut album, the burgeoning rock & roll subculture was, as always, hungry for fresh kicks and different sounds. | | | Their music was an inspired blend of rock, soul, pop, jazz, and an emerging genre soon to be dubbed funk. |

| | Stone last released an album of new material in 1983. | | | A latecomer to Sly and Family Stone, born right around the time the band hit its late Sixties peak, Levine was introduced to the group when he heard "If You Want Me to Stay" in the movie Dead Presidents. | | | With songs such as "Stand," "Everyday People" and "Dance to the Music," Sly and Family Stone brought funk to the mainstream, before Stone's personal difficulties derailed the group. |

| | Sly and the Family Stone managed to turn the music business of their time into a new direction. | | | Sly also worked as a disc jockey for the local R&B radio stations KSOL and later KDIA. | | | Due to the fact that Sly Stone dissapeared from the scene at the beginning of the 80s, something like a Sly Stone mythos surrounds his band. |

| | Sly had been silent since his dark 1971 album "There's A Riot Goin' On," and the anticipation of another record by him had me lined up at the record store door on the day it was released. | | | Ultimately, it marked a new and improved direction for Sly and it proved to be his last great album, before his decline started in 1974 with the "Small Talk" album. | | | Sly sounds a little stoned on this record. |
