I prefer my lugubrious fuzz-wah guitar playing to be accompanied by good singing, thanks. Sly Stone is Ray Charles from Saturn.

Thank you. For letting me. Be myself. Again.
I love Sly's outfit. Totally rocking the Stevie Ray Vaughn From the Outer Planets look.
Yes, Steve, that's a full SuperFly pimp suit!
What a blast from the distant past! I was afraid they were going to try passing off a lip synced performance on us, but Sly probably put his foot down for a live performance.
His life has had its highs and lows, the latter of which led to him nearly penniless and living in a custom van for God only knows how long.
He won a long fought suit against an old label and won about 2 years back, I think. Got $5,000,000, at least.
