Sly & the Family Stone/Cynthia Robinson

Family Affair: On Sly & the Family Stone member Cynthia Robinson. A single mother when she joined Sly and the Family Stone as a trumpeter and vocalist in 1966. As one of the band’s most prominent figures, she became lovers with Sly, giving birth to their daughter, Sylvyette “Phunne” Stone, in 1976. Years later, as Robinson carried the torch with the Family Stone into the next century, Phunne would have the chance to join her mother onstage as a vocalist. https://www.waxpoetics.co...ily-affair

Thanks for posting, what an informative article. I like that Sly hung w/Jerry Garcia.

Why do so many of these brilliant musicians flame out?
