Sly Stone: A Reassessment

Sorry, gang. The riot's over. Uh, but you can stay for the after party, even though some of you might claim it's a wake. The last Sly single before the great lull was "Thank-you etc.", a story about, well, fighting the people you have to fight with and escaping with your life and all of the songs the group had recorded and, well, the period that Sly and the Family Stone blossomed in: Youth and Truth are making love Dig it for a start Dyin' young is hard to take Copping out is harder.
