By 2013, Sly Stone's career appeared dormant, with no new music since 1983 and a disappointing album in 2011. The iconic musician, known for classics like 'Dance to the Music' and 'Everyday People,' seemed a distant memory from his groundbreaking impact in the late 60s and early 70s. His live performances were often inconsistent, leading to concerns about his legacy. Nevertheless, the announcement of the retrospective box set 'Higher!' promised to encapsulate his impressive journey from a staff producer to a luminary in soul music, renewing interest in his story and future.
Sly Stone's groundbreaking contributions to soul music in the late 60s and early 70s are overshadowed by a long absence from the studio and inconsistent quality thereafter.
Despite past struggles, a lavish box set, Higher!, in 2013 marks a significant retrospective of Sly Stone's life and music career.
