Description
From his anthemic early hits (I Want to Take You Higher, Family Affair, Dance to the Music), through the moody meditations of There's a Riot Going On and beyond, Sly & the Family Stone left an indelible stamp on rock, funk, pop, and hip hop. Their enigmatic frontman in particular continues to inspire fascination and speculation.
This fully updated edition fills in the gaps since the book’s original 2008 publication, including Sly’s successful legal action against his former manager, the death of band member (and mother of a child with Sly) Cynthia Robinson, and the new projects undertaken by family and former collaborators.
