Sly Stone (born Sylvester Stewart, March 15, 1943, Denton, Texas) is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, a band which played a critical role in the development of soul, funk, rock, and psychedelia in the 1960s and '70s.

Biography
Early life
The Stewart family was a deeply religious middle-class household from Denton, Texas.
As part of the doctrines of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), to which the Stewart family belonged, the parents - K.C and Alpha Stewart - encouraged musical expression in the household.
Born March 15, 1943, before the family had moved from Denton, Texas to Vallejo, in the northern San Francisco Bay Area, Sylvester was the second of the family's five children.
Sylvester and his brother Freddie along with their sisters Rose and Vaetta formed "The Stewart Four" as children, performing gospel music in the Church of God in Christ and even recording a single local release 78 rpm single, "On the Battlefield" b/w "Walking in Jesus' Name", in 1952.

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here I've got to be me
You'll never be in doubt
That's what it's all about
You can't take me for granted ...

Count the days I'm gone
Forget reaching me by phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman takin' up my time
How could you ever allow
I guess I wonder how
How could you get out of pocket for fun
When you know that you never number two
Number one gonna be number one
I'll be good

Get this message over to you now
When you see me again
I hope that you have been

7. Act 7: Truncated performance of Sly and the band before the show ends: "I Want to Take You Higher."
From Paul Shaffer interview in Keyboard, September, 1983, with Bob Doerschuk (interview conducted 5-19-83):
We watch a video of Sly Stone on the Letterman show. Shaffer is all eyes and ears as another of his idols runs through a medley of "If You Want Me to Stay" and "Sing a Simple Song" on the screen. Afterwards, he comments, "I was so impressed with how he handled himself on that show. We didn't have a lot of rehearsal time. We never got his Clavinet working, so we called the rental place, and they said, 'We'll send you an electronic thing that has a great Clavinet sound on it.' It turned out to be this little Casio. I said, 'Oh, my God,' but he was cool. He put a wah-wah pedal on it, and he grooved."
And there was more to the experience of playing with Sly Stone than just backing up another funky rock star. "Sly popularized some of those gospel voicings I could never understand when those records came out. I couldn't hear what kind of a voicing it was, but I've since learned it and used it, and there he was playing it." Shaffer's voice hasn't risen at all, but that edge has crept into it again. "I was sort of thrilling," he smiles.
Paul Shaffer interview in "Fi" Magazine, March, 1998 issue (by Bill Mikowski):
Fi: Getting back to Letterman, what were some other memorable guest appearances for you?
PS: Sly Stone...playing organ behind him while he played clavinet. I asked him about that one voicing that he played off of, a suspended gospel sound that I heard in "Dance to the Music." It fascinated me because it forced boundaries of harmony...it forced tension of a suspended chord over everyone else's regular triad. I quizzed him about that and he said, "I heard the Beatles do it." I don't know if he was pulling my leg or not.
On Dave's comment to Hiram re "the medication affecting [his] hearing":
E-mail from Hiram Bullock June 6, 1997:
"I played the Letterman show that day with Sly Stone _with my leg broken and unset._ I didn't go to the hospital until after the show for fear they would have tried to prevent me from playing (they would have; I didn't play again for a week or two)."

Sly Stone (born Sylvester Stewart, March 15, 1943, Denton, Texas) is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, a band which played a critical role in the development of soul, funk, rock, and psychedelia in the 1960s and '70s. In 1993, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the group.
Biography
Early life
The Stewart family was a deeply religious middle-class household from Denton, Texas.
As part of the doctrines of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), to which the Stewart family belonged, the parents - K.C and Alpha Stewart - encouraged musical expression in the household.
Born March 15, 1943, before the family had moved from Denton, Texas to Vallejo, in the northern San Francisco Bay Area, Sylvester was the second of the family's five children.
Sylvester and his brother Freddie along with their sisters Rose and Vaetta formed "The Stewart Four" as children, performing gospel music in the Church of God in Christ and even recording a single local release 78 rpm single, "On the Battlefield" b/w "Walking in Jesus' Name", in 1952.
