Yet he has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of sight as for what put him in the spotlight in the first place. As much as people know the music, the man remains a mystery. In Thank You, his much-anticipated memoir, hes finally ready to share his story - a story that many thought hed never have the chance to tell. Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson among others, Thank You will include a foreword by Questlove. The book was created in collaboration with Sly Stones manager Arlene Hirschkowitz. "For as long as I can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story," says Stone. "I wasnt ready. I had to be in a new frame of mind to become Sylvester Stewart again to tell the true story of Sly Stone. Its been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too." Author Biography Sly Stone is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, most famous for his role as frontman for Sly & The Family Stone, a band which played a critical role in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia in the 1960s and 1970s.
