Wasn't a huge fan of his band but loved his daughter in Basic Instinct and Casino.

Sly was the ultimate "cool cat," and did not have a racist bone in his body. His band was integrated. He had songs that dealt with the fact that everyone can be subject to racial dislike ("Every Day People"). If you listen to a Best of Sly and the Family Stone album, you'll go "I didn't know that was their song" to several of the cuts.
I'm friends with Jerry Martini, the sax player. He had a great funk band called Rubicon that had several future members of Night Ranger playing. Jerry's in his 80's so we don't email each other very much any more.
Jerry can tell some wild stories.

I feel like this thread is clickbait.

I became a fan a few years ago when I learned this.
Saw footage of Sly and the Family Stone at a concert put on in a community’s park, in a documentary, and went down a rabbit hole learning about him and the band.

Sly is very fortunate that he lived into old age despite his actions to cut his life short back in the early 70's.
