Sly Stone—Sly and the Family Stone Music visionary leader, whose innovative genre combination of funk, soul, rock, and psychedelia shook up the music scene in the late 1960s. Hits like Everyday People and Family Affair become anthems of unity and reflect the character of change in the atmosphere during that time.

Sly Stone became almost reclusive in the 1980s following too much success and influence to live up to, relegating him to a personal and professional life. Although he is out of music nowadays, he is still present. Many artists across genres claim he had a great influence on them, and there are very inspiring time-carrying tracks with him.
