New JJ's Smoking Session - Sly Stone
Sylvester 'Sly Stone' Stewart was born in Texas in 1943. He was a DJ before starting funk/soul band Sly & The Family Stone in the late 60s. The band ignored racial and gender restrictions, creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds.
