One of the few indisputable geniuses of pop music, Sly Stone is a
trailblazer who created a new kind of music, mixing Black and
white, male and female, funk and rock; penned some of the most
iconic anthems of the 1960s and 70s, from "Everyday People" to
"Family Affair"; and electrified audiences with a persona and stage
presence that set a lasting standard for pop culture performance.
Yet he has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he
dropped out of sight as for what put him in the spotlight in the
first place. As much as people know the music, the man remains a
mystery. In Thank You, his much-anticipated memoir, he's finally
ready to share his story - a story that many thought he'd never
have the chance to tell. Written with Ben Greenman, who has written
memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson among others, Thank
You will include a foreword by Questlove. The book was created in
collaboration with Sly Stone's manager Arlene Hirschkowitz. "For as
long as I can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story,"
says Stone. "I wasn't ready. I had to be in a new frame of mind to
become Sylvester Stewart again to tell the true story of Sly Stone.
It's been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too."
