Do you like Sly? Of course you do.
I put together a 20 song playlist on Sly and the Family Stone’s “essential” records for Rolling Stone’s website.[1. With research assistance from David Ma. Thanks man!] Could have probably been twice that.
If I had to pick a favorite song off that list…it’d either be “Rock Dirge” (which is “off-canon” for some folks but f— that. DRUMS) or the so-very-slick-and-fonky “If You Want Me to Stay.”
