Without Sly Stone, there would be no Prince and no Parliament Funkadelic— he is an undeniable testament to his influence on the music world.
This legacy is at the heart of a new film titled Sly Lives! aka The Burden of Black Genius, directed by Questlove and produced by Joseph Patel and currently streaming on Disney+.
