Sly Stone, the frontman of legendary band Sly and the Family Stone, has died. He was 82.
Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, had been in poor health in recent years. His publicist Carleen Donovan said Monday that Stone died surrounded by family after contending with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments.
Sly and the Family Stone transformed popular music in the 1960s and ’70s and beyond with such hits as "Everyday People," "Stand!" and "Family Affair."

Bummer. He didn’t believe in ‘catnaps’. He slept in 30 hour stretches. Had to be the drugs.

Family Affair is an S-tier song
To: Borges
a great talent but lacked discipline. More than one show was canceled because he decided not to show up.

Going to play the entirety of his ‘71 release There’s a Riot Goin’ On in his honor. Dark album. Very different from his late ‘60s fare.

“Don’t Call Me N***er Whitey” was a Sly and the Family Stone song as well a real reflector of those times.
