Sly Stone is THE MAN!!!

[Patsy Stone]

I'm so glad he showed up at the Grammys.

1. Easily my favorite..

.... artist in the genre. A true genius!

[Patsy Stone]

7. I Want to Take You Higher

Is on my "Top Five Best Songs Ever" list. There is no way you can sit still unless you're dead.

Yes, he is a genius.

10. The performance of that song at Woodstock

made me a rock/R&B fan when I was a kid (I saw the movie, of course). I still get hairs on my arm at full attention when I see it. God, what a band.

18. I love that performance!!

Before my time but watching the Woodstock movie, man when he got the crowd going....hairs on my arm do the same lol :D

[FredScuttle]

2. WTF?

He split!

[Patsy Stone]

4. My friend

We're lucky he showed up at all. There was a controversy as to whether or not he'd appear.

Like a rare bird. Consider yourself blessed. :)

8. true

and, don't get me wrong...he did not disappoint. A wilder getup, I haven't seen

I just thought it was hilarious that he just up and left before "I Want To Take You Higher" was even close to wrapping up. The musicians seemed a little bewildered too

BTW, anyone notice Randy Jackson from "American Idol" playing bass with Nile Rodgers in the band? Christ, they couldn't get Larry Graham to appear with Sly?

[Patsy Stone]

12. I did!

And I could not prove it to my husband until the end when they showed him again. :)

13. Whatta disgrace!

I half expected Ryan Seacrest to pop out and shake some tambourines.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Well

Journey hasn't had many gigs recently, so he needed some playing time. :)

[FredScuttle]

16. LOL

that's the biggest joke of all time, although it makes sense when I think about it.

Hard to believe Journey was born out of the Santana Band.

[Penndems]

14. That's vintage Sly! :)

He looked GREAT; just as cool as he was in the 1960s and 70s. He put the "youngbloods" to shame! Wish he'd stated just a LITTLE bit longer, though.

I've definitely become a fan of Joss Stone and John Legend, too!

[peekaloo]

3. I missed him. Did he leave?

Steven Tyler....:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

5. Did two verses and split.

See my above post. :)

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

6. He did! Everyone was like "WTF do we do now?"

Diggin the mohawk! Still a bad ass!

[Patsy Stone]

9. I think they were more surprised he was there at all

"Rather, everyone is wondering whether reclusive funk music pioneer Sly Stone will make his first major public appearance in almost 13 years at the event."

11. Has been the man for quite some time.

17. That's nice! Thanks!

:hi:

19. I wasn't watching the Grammies.

I was watching 'The Desert Speaks'

Now I understand this thread.





:hippie:

20. I love that guy!

21. I wonder if he's still in contact with Doris Day.
