Sly and the Family Stone was an American band from San Francisco. Active from
1966 to 1983, it was pivotal in the development of funk, soul, rock, and
psychedelic music. Its core line-up was led by singer-songwriter, producer, and
multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and
included Stone's brother and
singer/guitarist Freddie Stone, sister and singer/keyboardist Rose Stone,
trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Greg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and
bassist Larry Graham. It was the first major American rock group to have a
racially integrated, male and female lineup.
