Sly Stone's Ode To Doo Wop - "This Is Love" Sylvester Stewart in a very rare form, having fun and paying tribute to a musical style he seems to revere. One of the heartfelt & rare oddities he did, along with the song "Sylvester".
My absloute fave moment from "Small Talk"

Its a very romantic tune. In many was Sly went old school; when guy's would get his friends together (noted, if they could sing) and serenade their lady love or a girl they had a crush on. Lovely song. | |

LOVE! Love practically all he did. What year did this song come out? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

1974, from "Small Talk", one of his most underrated and endearing albums ever.
And yeah it is different, but then again, he never had the patience to repeat himself.

Not really. I believe he started out doing Doo-Wop. "He's a musician's musician..." | |

Disagree Even if started out doing it, he is mostly known for his funky grooves and that is what most of his music consists of. | |

Well most def on that! When I discovered those albums, they had a huge influence on me. "He's a musician's musician..." | |

Yeah, Sly began as a Doo Wopper.
He was in a band called the Viscaynes.
I made a thread on this era not too long ago containing all the available Doo Wop tracks he did.
