FUNK FAMILY AFFAIR

"Lookahere," as Sly would say, "Ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls, cats & kitties, hippies & squares..." What is this Whole New Thang called Funk? In this case it's all about the precedent setting, undying spirit of the music of the extraordinary
original family band that helped to create it, perform it, record it and represent it right now! Here's your chance to
witness the most influential and revolutionary group in the history of American popular music--Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, R&B Hall Of Fame Pioneer Achievement Award winners,
members of Sly & The Family Stone: THE FUNK FAMILY AFFAIR

You're about to hear the horns blow, Cynthia on the throne, Cynthia & Jerry still sayin', "All the squares go home"
Gold and Platinum players with the royal Stone blood line.

Pristine harmonies by "Little Sister", the original female funk
vocal trio, heard on Virtually all of The Family Stone's discography, led by Sly's little sister, Vet Stone, with

--END OF PRESS RELEASE--

Once again, without Sly.

Sly's done for good. He's like the J.D. Salinger of funk.

No Larry, no Sly, no Thanks.

No Sly, what's the point? That's not Sly and the Family Stone...but you know that they are all broke now...Sly wrote all of that music. Their royalities (if they get any) have to be drying up, it is almost 40 years later. Besides, Michael Jackson owns that catalogue... (Who's Baaad?)

Peace, Serveitupfrankie*

Or like the Robert Downey, Jr. of funk.

Well, he might not own them for long. Word has it that MJ is having to sell a whole lot of his publishing of other groups to pay his legal bills. Be funny as shit if Prince bought them, and then gave them back to the band.

UptownDeb said:

Yeah, but at least Robert Downey Jr. does Ally MacBeal and stuff every now and then between his many arrests.

sly & the family stone without sly and larry is like a philly cheesesteak sammich without the cheese and steak.

I saw the link & I was wondering how they can call it
"Sly & the Family Stone" when Sly is not there??
It's like if the members from "The Revolution" should play under the name
"Prince & the Revolution"
