Sly Stone Makes Surprise Appearance...

Sly Stone Makes Surprise Appearance at MojaMoja Pre-Grammy Brunch

The legendary musician Sly Stone (center), made a rare appearance at the 5th Annual MojaMoja Brunch and Benefit Concert for Oxfam America during Grammy weekend. MojaMoja host Garth Trinidad (left), and Bob Ferguson (right), Oxfam America's Manager of Creative Alliances & Music Outreach presented the Vanguard Award to him. Stone accepted the award on behalf of the honoree George Clinton, who could not attend the event due to severe storms in the NorthEast. (Photo: Wendy Le)

The MojaMoja Pre-Grammy Brunch and Benefit Concert celebrated its fifth anniversary with an eclectic lineup and a totally unexpected appearance this year.

While event producer Ramona Wright noted that “every year we get a surprise visit,” few were probably expecting reclusive soul icon Sly Stone, who got onstage to accept the Vanguard Award in the stead of legendary Parliament-Funkadelic founder George Clinton, who was being honored at the event but couldn’t appear due to being grounded in Newark thanks to the blizzard blanketing the Northeast.

“I’m happy for George,” said the famously enigmatic Stone in his brief appearance onstage, distinctive with his white outfit and trademark outrageous hair, before -- just as characteristically -- he disappeared into the wings. It was a classic MojaMoja moment -- music business as unusual, celebrating artists from different generations on the same stage, doing their own thing.
