Sly Stone born 1943

 

Sly Stone was very important to music. He gave R&B an edge & inspired  Jazz musicians to embrace electronic instruments.

 

Sly was a huge influence on Miles Davis & by extension, the list of musicians who came through Davis' finishing school.😎

    His band was multicultural, the men sang lead vocals and the women played instruments. Which is still rare.
