Various - Everybody Is A Star: The Sly Stone Songbook Various
Despite his status as a recluse for much of the past thirty years, Sly Stone still stands tall as one of the giants of popular music. He broke barriers, the reverberations of which are still felt within not just R&B and hip-hop but pop music as a whole. The omnipresence of tunes like ‘Everyday People’ and ‘Family Affair’ is a constant reminder of Sly’s pivotal role in shaping black music.
“Everybody Is A Star: The Sly Stone Songbook” seeks to celebrate the songcraft and influence of Sly Stone’s work via the interpretations of others across the past fifty years. Differing shades of jazz musician like Al Jarreau, Gene Harris and David T Walker flocked to his material, while the R&B world often used Sly tunes to bolster their own career, such as Ike & Tina Turner’s storming ‘I Want To Take You Higher.’
