So I was in starbucks and saw TWO cds of Sly material - one just another hits package, but the other one was a whole remix thing. Gotta check it out. Liner notes said "PRODUCED BY SYLVETER STEWART" I think - maybe Sly Stone. But, then, does that mean, he's come out of the crack den and is actually in the public eye, somewhat?

Any news at all about this genius-turned-black-Howard-Hughes?

Sly Stone remix in Starbucks family

HOLLYWOOD --- The last time the music business caught a glimpse of Sly Stone was 12 years ago, when he made a late appearance at his induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Starting today, he's back.

to the bottom line:

As is the case with so many catalog releases, the true beneficiaries are the individuals and companies with the rights to the publishing. In this instance, that would be a man who could use some income --- Michael Jackson.

DAMN that JACKO! Give the money to SLY!!

he did that song with Jesse Johnson

I hear he & Syd Barrett are working on something together.

Seriously, I wouldn't say that an album of others covering his stuff meant he was back.
