I bet he expected die from a cocaine damaged heart years ago like a couple of famous Bay Area college athletes did.

When I was growing up his sister, Rose, a band member, lived a stone's throw (pun intended) from St. Paschal's and Sequoyah Country Club (next door to a buddy on Sequoyah View Court). His bass player, Larry Graham (later of Graham Central Station), lived out by Lake Chabot Golf Course on Malcolm, off Golf Links Rd.

I always dug this tune. Not one of his big hits:


Sly Stone played a critical role in the development of funk with his pioneering fusion of soul, rock, psychedelia and gospel in the 1960s and 1970s. (Wikipedia)


*He killed it at Woodstock.
