Sly Stone died recently and we lost one of the great pioneers of funk music. He was a great influence on modern music and changed the rules for how people made soul, funk and dance music. He had his problems with drugs but his legacy rather than the bad press will survive. He was a tremendous influence on me and having seen his band at their peak showed just how good they were live. RIP Sly. You will be missed.
