Produktbeschreibung
The never-thought-we'd-see-it memoir from the legendary Sly Stone. Sly Stone created some of the most memorable anthems of the 1960s and 1970s ("Everyday People," "Family Affair"). He electrified audiences at Woodstock and all over the world. His influence on modern music and culture is indisputable. But after a rapid rise to superstardom, Sly spent decades in the grips of addiction. Having finally achieved a lasting sobriety, he is finally ready and able to relate the ups and downs and ins and outs of his amazing life. The book moves from Sly's early career as a radio DJ and record producer through the dizzying heights of the San Francisco music scene in the late 1960s and into the darker, denser life (and music) of 1970s and 1980s Los Angeles. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) is a vivid, gripping, sometimes terrifying, and ultimately affirming tour through Sly's life and career. Like Sly, it's honest and playful, sharp and blunt, emotional and analytical, always moving and never standing still.

Autorenporträt
Sly Stone was born Sylvester Stewart in Denton, Texas, in 1943. He had brief careers as a doo-wop singer, a radio DJ, and a record producer before founding and fronting Sly and the Family Stone. Mercurial, idiosyncratic, and inimitably brilliant, Sly Stone is a true American original. He lives in Los Angeles. This is his first book. Ben Greenman was born in Chicago, raised in Miami, and shaped largely in Brooklyn. He is a New York Times bestselling author who has written both fiction and nonfiction, including collaborations with Questlove, George Clinton, Brian Wilson, and Stevie Van Zandt. His criticism and journalism have appeared in a number of publications, including The New Yorker, where he was an editor for more than a decade, and the Miami New Times. He would also like to thank you (falettinhim be hymns elf agin).
