Sly has left us too. Okay, like many, he had some drug issues but I loved his music and he should at the very least be remembered for the first "multi-racial, multi-gender, multi-genre" band.

Vale, Sly

He was a helluva show man and he had a helluva band. RIP.

I've always thought that really popular pop music is a tough thing to pull off,
especially the kind that sets standards for others to follow.
This man and his family band managed the balancing act that is pop music for a while,
and their success lives on in the music of many others after them.
And they made a lot of people happy -- including me.
