Sly and the Family Stone

Sly and the Family Stone was an American band formed in San Francisco in 1966, led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone (born Sylvester Stewart). They were pioneers of funk, soul, rock, and psychedelic music, known for their innovative blend of genres and socially conscious lyrics. The band was one of the first major American rock groups to have a racially integrated, mixed-gender lineup, including members like Larry Graham (bass), Greg Errico (drums), Jerry Martini (saxophone), Cynthia Robinson (trumpet), Rose Stone (keyboards), and Freddie Stone (guitar).
