It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

That is 1 of my all time favs from Sly.

Sly and the Family Stone was one of my biggest influences.

The 7 album remastered set is beautiful.

Of course, I still have all of my vinyl, but the remastering on these CDs is magnificent.

Actually, the ONLY good album by Eric Benet, 'True To Myself', has a Roger Troutman produced cover of "If You Want Me To Stay", and it's KILLER.

Definitely one of my faves from Sly, or anyone. And yes it does seem to be a blueprint for many prince songs (although I've always thought Dorothy Parker was more based on Family Affair).

'Fresh' is likely my favourate Sly album - so many good tracks, just a shame it peters out at the end imo.

'If You Want Me to Stay' is a definite classic, along with 'In Time' and the often over-looked 'Thankful and Thoughtful', one of my fav Sly tracks, which, with its bluesy feel and interesting lyrics, doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves imo.

I love the somewhat 'homemade' feel of this record.

There's this documentary called "Skin I'm in",
and during the endcredits Sly sits by the piano and
sings "If you want me to stay" so incredibly soulful.

can't remember what movie
I heard it first in
I wanna say Dead Presidents

but ever since I first
laid ears on it
I had to have it

my mama loves this song
reminds her of her college days
"be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."
