First edition, hand signed by Sly Stone.
'thank you' represents a story that many thought sly would never have the chance to tell.
written with ben greenman, who has written memoirs with george clinton and brian wilson among others, thank you will include a foreword by questlove. the book was created in collaboration with sly stone's manager arlene hirschkowitz. one of the few indisputable geniuses of pop music, sly stone is a trailblazer who created a new kind of music, mixing black and white, male and female, funk and rock; penned some of the most iconic anthems of the 1960s and 70s, from "everyday people" to "family affair"; and electrified audiences with a persona and stage presence that set a lasting standard for pop culture performance. yet he has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of sight as for what put him in the spotlight in the first place. as much as people know the music, the man remains a mystery.
"for as long as i can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story," says stone. "i wasn't ready. i had to be in a new frame of mind to become sylvester stewart again to tell the true story of sly stone. it's been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too."
