Het repertoire van Sly Stone in « Everybody is a Star: The Sly Stone Songbook »

In 2025 in Sly Lives!, de uitstekende documentaire van Questlove, is Sly Stone nieuw in de actualiteit met de sortie van de compilatie Everybody Is a Star: The Sly Stone Songbook.

Uitgegeven door Ace Records, deze cd-uitgave bevat 22 hernemingen van de beste chansons van Sylvester Stewart, alias Sly Stone. Preuve de éclectisme en de ouverture van songwriter/leider van Family Stone, The Sly Stone Songbook komt samen met covers van soul/jazz-artiesten (Ike & Tina Turner, Diana Ross, The Jackson 5, Al Jarreau…) die pop-rock interpreteren, lesgeven aan Iggy Pop (‘Family Affair’), Jeff Buckley (‘Everyday People’) of groupe post-punk Magazine, met "Thank You Falletinme Mice Elf Agin".
