Sly Stone - Book - by Sly Stone
(2023)
One
of the few indisputable geniuses of pop music, Sly Stone is a
trailblazer who created a new kind of music, mixing Black and white,
male and female, funk and rock; penned some of the most iconic anthems
of the 1960s and 70s, from "Everyday People" to "Family Affair"; and
electrified audiences with a persona and stage presence that set a
lasting standard for pop culture performance. Yet he has also been a
cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of sight as for
what put him in the spotlight in the first place. As much as people know
the music, the man remains a mystery.
In
Thank You, his much-anticipated memoir, he's finally ready to share his
story - a story that many thought he'd never have the chance to tell.
Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton
and Brian Wilson among others, Thank You will include a foreword by
Questlove. The book was created in collaboration with Sly Stone's
manager Arlene Hirschkowitz.
"For
as long as I can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story,"
says Stone. "I wasn't ready. I had to be in a new frame of mind to
become Sylvester Stewart again to tell the true story of Sly Stone.
It's been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too."
