Author Biography
Sly Stone was born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas, in 1943. He had brief careers as a doo-wop singer, a radio DJ, and a record producer before founding and fronting Sly and the Family Stone. Mercurial, idiosyncratic, and inimitably brilliant, Sly Stone is a true American original. He lives in Los Angeles. This is his first book.

He is a New York Times bestselling author who has written both fiction and nonfiction, including collaborations with Questlove, George Clinton, Brian Wilson, and Stevie Van Zandt.
