The multi-instrumentalist frontman for Sly and the Family Stone – rock’s first racially integrated, mixed-gender lineup – “passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend and his extended family,“ after a prolonged battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other health issues, his family said in a statement.
With his vibrant on-stage energy, killer hooks and lyrics that often decried prejudice, Stone became a superstar, releasing pivotal records that straddled musical genres and performing a set that enraptured the crowd at Woodstock.
An effervescent hybrid of psychedelic soul, hippie consciousness, bluesy funk and rock built on Black gospel, Stone's music proved to be a melodic powerhouse that attracted millions during a golden age of exploratory pop – until it fell apart in a spiral of drug use.
For many, Sly was a musical genius creating the sound of the future.
“He had the sensibility of the street, the church, and then like the qualities of a Motown,“ Clinton added. “He was all of that in one person.”
