In the late 60s, Sly founded his band, and they quickly gained fame with hits like "For Me To Stay" and "It's a Family Affair." Known for his flamboyant style and larger-than-life persona, Stone not only made waves in music but also brought his infectious energy to television performances. He married model Kathy Silva in a star-studded Madison Square Garden ceremony and later faced personal challenges, including struggles with substance abuse. Nonetheless, his family's tribute reminds us of his monumental contributions as a true innovator and pioneer in music.
