Sly Stone NEVER Cancels!
DETROIT — Sly was due in for a concert November 15th and the word was out that he was gonna show. Not an unusual word, to be sure, save in the case of one Sylvester Stewart. But Sly and The Family Stone, notoriously late and no-show, are always in doubt up to the moment their dynamic presence is felt ... on the stage.

Come to an hour before show time and Gabe Glantz and Bob Bageris, the Eastown conglomerate and promoters of this one (though it’s at the fifteen thousand seat Cobo Arena, not the Eastown) haven’t heard a word from either Sly or the Family Stone. The band was supposed to arrive at the airport (they thought) that evening and when it didn’t . . . Well, at seven with the show due to begin at eight, they called it off.
