Family Stone back together- without Sly

Brief Prince and Larry Graham mention:

"Undaunted by the absence not only of Sly but also of his cousin Graham on bass guitar, five of the original members of Sly and the Family Stone have been in the studio recording some 16 new songs.

The new tracks are being written and sung mostly by Sly's brother Freddie Stone and sister Rosie Stone, and the album is being produced by Freddie Stone and drummer Greg Errico. The band does not yet have a recording contract.

The reunited group also includes Jerry Martini on saxophone and Cynthia Robinson on horn, all of whom backed Sly from 1967 to 1971 on such classics as "Everyday People" and "Stand!"

Graham who went on to found the band Graham Central Station and has collaborated with Prince, is replaced by Rusty Allen, who played on Sly and the Family Stone's 1973 album "Fresh."
