The book, co-written with music journalist Ben Greenman, detailed his revolutionary music style and also his struggle with drug addiction,\u00a0which took him out of the spotlight for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmir &#8220;Questlove&#8221; Thompson, the musician and filmmaker who founded the company that published Stone&#8217;s memoir, said in an interview with CBS News in 2023 that Stone &#8220;knew which buttons to push to not only make his musicians better, but also how we would receive it.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thompson also praised Stone for uplifting women and taking them seriously as musicians, which was uncommon in the music business at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Knowing that we&#8217;d never seen a band before in which, you know, the women just aren&#8217;t background, singing foils that play the tambourine. Like, Cynthia Robinson could destroy anybody playing trumpet,&#8221; Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p>The great funk bassist Bootsy Collins once called Stone &#8220;the most talented musician I know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas, Stone&#8217;s family moved to Vallejo, California, when he was young \u2014 and music was always with him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My father played washboard, guitar, violin, fiddle, harmonica. My mother played keyboards and guitar. Music was as much a part of our home as the walls or the floor,&#8221; Stone wrote in his memoir. &#8220;The piano was as prominent as the kitchen table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He went on to study music composition at a junior college while working as a radio DJ.<\/p>\n<p>Sly and the Family Stone was formed in 1966, and the band quickly made its way up the charts in the winter of 1968 with &#8220;Dance To the Music,&#8221; which was later chosen for the Grammy Hall Of Fame and the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame&#8217;s list of &#8220;500 Songs That Shaped Rock.&#8221; Every composition of the band was penned by Stone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was like seeing the Black version of The Beatles. He had the sensibility of the street, the church, and then, like, the qualities of a Motown, you know, Smokey Robinson \u2014 he was all of that in one person,&#8221; funk legend and longtime friend George Clinton told &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Stone is survived by his three children.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component
