Exclusive: It was 10 years in the making, but a feature documentary about Sly and The Family Stone and their impact on the development of funk, soul, rock, and psychedelic music is on its way. Dance to the Streaming Music, from Winter State Entertainment, will include exclusive interviews and footage of Sly and the Family Stone and other artists – and their reversal of fortune in the wake the Music Modernization Act. The project is wrapping up for release in 2019.
The last anyone heard of Stone, one of the pioneers of funk music as mastermind for Sly and the Family Stone,
was after a series of legal and financial problems who was destitute and living out of a camper van in Los Angeles. But due to the Music Modernization Act, enacted in Oct. 2018 which gives royalties on digital streaming, things have changed for him.

Is it me, or has this year seen a relative barrage of music documentaries featuring legendary black music makers from the 60s/70s? Am I Black Enough For You? (Billy Paul), Still Bill (Bill Withers), Soul Power (Various artists including James Brown)… Well, now here come two more, both set for release early next year and both about P-Funk maestro, Sly Stone of Everyday People and Family Affair fame.
