This year is the 40th anniversary of "The Summer of Love." in 1967, Sly and the Family Stone released the classic "A Whole New Thing." To honor that milestone, Epic is remastering and re-releasing seven albums the group recorded from 1967 to 1974.

Sly's latest album featuries an amazing and diverse selection of stars including John Legend, Joss Stone, Steven Tyler, Maroon 5, will.i.am, Big Boi, Janet Jackson, and John Mayer.

Cash, you are a man of impressively good musical taste, even if you're collegiate athletic loyalties are . . . well . . ...

Oops, I duped your "Higher" pick. Well, it's worth a second listen. No late '60's party was complete without the house shaking to "I wanna take you higher!"

I saw Sly at both the Apollo Theater in New York City, and at the Filmore East.

Early on, Sly was not a universal favorite among the R&B crowd.

I've done some mini-reviews of the first four Sly & the Family Stone albums, in honor of the coming reissues.
