(Book). 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") that powered Woodstock; through the moody meditations of "Theres a Riot Going On" and beyond; Sly and the Family Stone have left an indelible stamp on rock; funk; pop; and hip hop. The story follows the evolution and dissolution of Sly and the Family Stone; from local favorites to global rock stars whose success was undermined by drugs and self-delusion.

These compact books never disappoint me. This company is still producing these wonderful books today ;and every few months; the company adds to the various IMAGES OF AMERICA themes.I bought this book because I wanted a "general" photo book showing photos of the most well-known of the Vaudeville performers; especially those from New york.This book did not disappoint. Under each photo; there is also a brief description of the actor-performer.(NOTE: There are no side-show performers in this book. This book is mostly about singers and actors/actresses from the early days of Vaudeville in NEW YORK).Each chapter also gives a brief description of the Era of Vaudeville. Very interesting information.The price for these small IMAGES OF AMERICA paperbacks are always low ($) and affordable. For me; they are worthwhile to own in any Library.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
