This is the first in-depth biography of the legendary rock star on the heels of a comeback. Author Jeff Kaliss scored the first face-to-face interview with the reclusive superstar in over twenty years making this book a must-read for any rock 'n roll fan. From his anthemic early hits ( I Want to Take You Higher , Family Affair , Dance to the Music ) that powered Woodstock through the moody meditations of There's a Riot Going On and beyond, Sly and the Family Stone have left an indelible stamp on rock, funk, pop, and hip-hop.The story follows the evolution and dissolution of Sly and the Family Stone from local favourites to global rock stars under the threat of drugs and self-delusion. Sly is truly an innovator and a giant, and the demand for him has never been higher. Celebrated at the 2006 Grammys and in a new boxed set of CDs, Sly and the Family Stone has nevertheless eluded full and sympathetic understannding by its several generations of fans. Finally, this year he is beginning to perform again, and Kaliss is on the scene with accounts of Sly and his former Family in the New Millennium. Before my songs had a lot to do with unnecessary fighting. And that's still the case. - Sly Stone to author Jeff Kaliss.

Review"Finally, the definitive and story of the life and times of Sly Stone is here....Kaliss delivers a vivid tale of funky love, music and drugs that nails the tale of Sly Stone. "--Rickey Vincent, author of Funk: The Music, The People, and The Rhythm of The One "It's amazing, although not exactly surprising, that Sly and the Family Stone's volatile story has never fully been told. But now it has, and the tellers include the elusive and elliptical Sly Stone himself. Whatever else he is, he's a stone genius; a major influence on R&B, funk, pop and rock musicians since he emerged in 1968. Through Sly and his band, this offers additional lessons, about traversing life as well as about making music.
