According to the new Rolling Stone magazine Sly Stone and George Clinton are recording a new LP that the P-Funk leader says will be released by X-mas. Clinton says he persuaded the reclusive soul legend to return to the studio after Stone appeared at a few P-Funk gigs in 2008 and 2009. "Sly always had music stashed, but he wasn't showing it to nobody," says Clinton. "All of a sudden he started sending me tracks, I'm like , 'You dirty motherfucker!" The duo recorded with members of P-Funk and the Family Stone, working on material in LA and at Stone's house in San Francisco. Clinton's proposed title: Beat the Pink Up: Hump It Till It Hiccup

I am looking forward to this. I wonder what these recording sessions were like.

I wanna be psyched fer this.....but out of prudency, expectations are set to "low".

You know how many years I've heard about Sly's different projects. . . it turned into decades and I now have grey in my hair. We are more likely to see a

George's solo project will come out before we hear about Sly. Trust.

Okay I'm slow... But i just got the title...

Thats nasty George....

I know i was excited when him and Jesse worked together on Crazay in the

mid 80's and Jesse was supposed to be working on a solo album for him.

That never materialized. Jesse started to fade away in the early 90's too and

with EWF on Heritage and he disappeared for the rest of the decade and into

2000. I remember a Vibe magazine in the 90's that did an article on Sly and

they couldn't track him down either. They could only talk to a couple of his

ex band mates and a family member.

Probably coz Sly wasn't that "crazay" about the collaboration

I remember an interview with Sly from a few years ago(I think Variety) where he said that to this day, he still doesn't know "what the hell that song was about"

As much as I love Jesse, nobody could properly produce Sly but Sly.

How comes i didn't know they'd teamed up before?

I've got faith this will work if Sly can get a moment of clarity.

How could any long-term follower of Sly could be optimistic about this album being released? We've seen this too many times before.

I do believe that Sly has tracks dating back to the 80s, but I think he'll have to die before those sessions are made available.

Further proof that he was in a haze.

That was a big hit on radio in the 86. Jesse was doing a lot

of production during that period. With Jesse's production skills

and Sly's name, Jesse could have revived his career for a hot minute imo.

I'm exhausted already from the overuse of double entendres in the song title.

exactly If this was happening in 1976 then

I have frontline reports about Sly in the studio. (OK, one report, from fifteen + years ago.)

He can hold it together for a few minutes. He explains and demonstrates lucidly what he wants. It sounds really, really promising.

And then he forgets, or he stops, and everyone jams on it while Sly leaves, and then everyone looks at each other and then goes home...

And then they come back the next day, wait for Sly to turn up, and the whole thing's repeated.

Sly blew his brain up. I don't think there's any coming back from where he's been. C'est la vie.
