Author Jeff Kaliss scored the first face-to-face interview with the reclusive superstar in over 20 years, making this book a must-read for any rock "n" roll fan. From his anthemic early hits (I Want to Take You Higher, Family Affair, Dance to the Music), through the moody meditations of There"s a Riot Going On and beyond, Sly and the Family Stone have left an indelible stamp on rock, funk, pop, and hip hop.
