Sly Stone died last month at the age of 82. Sly founded and sang with the funk act Sly and the Family Stone, one of the biggest and most consequential funk bands in the history of modern music. If you know Sly for anything, it’s for hits like “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” “Dance To The Music,” “Family Affair” and about five dozen more. Between 1968 and 1973, Sly and the Family Stone went on an unparalleled run.
