“Hot Fun in the Summertime” was included on Rolling Stone's list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," coming in at No. 250. The band was also included on Rolling Stone's list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time," coming in at No. 43.
However, when asked about Stone, band member Cynthia Robinson only had positive things to say. In 2015, she told Ebony, “Sly made a big contribution to music, but I don’t feel he is given his righteous props. Some people in charge of giving credit or the blame would rather give him blame. I saw Rolling Stone magazine once, and they were talking about the top 50 songs, and there wasn’t one Sly song; how does that happen? But, Sly isn’t the type to brown-nose for props. He’s always known what he had, what he was capable of; I’m just proud that he took the time and effort to put it to music.”
Stone released a memoir, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), in 2023, which spoke about the ups and downs of his life. During an interview with Andrew R. Chow, Stone spoke about a quote from the book, where he stated, “Music could help you resist everyday problems. Music could keep you out of the fire.”
Stone died in 2025 at the age of 82 after a battle with COPD.
