bear the unique distinction of being the only band I tried to see (on three different occasions as I recall) but didn't.

6. Hulu has his biopic

Now ironically named, Sly Lives. It really worth watching. There's a lot of historical footage and contemporary interviews.

7. I saw Sly in Knoxville, TN in the early 70's...

..when he was at his peak in popularity.

When he sang the song, Family Affair, most of the very youngest in the audience sort of took over the stage. It was cool!

However, he was about an hour late, because he had done too many drugs.
