R.I.P. Sly Stone

I heard the Sly Stone died yesterday. He is now known as the founder of "progressive soul". Huh. When did that happen? I will have to seek out the documentary about him, Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius), which will involve figuring out what streaming services we currently have.

I watched this video in Sly's honor and figured that Larry Graham may have been the inspiration for the Funk Spirit in Sinners. Look at that outfit!

SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)

Ooh! There's a documentary coming out next month about Sly and the Family Stone called SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius). Unfortunately, it looks like it won't get a theatrical run and will instead be available only on Hulu. I don't think we have Hulu anymore but will have to check on that. Look for it starting the 13th.
