Performer: Sly & the Family Stone/Various Artists
Artist: John Legend; Van Hunt Producer: Sly Stone Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Sly & the Family Stone/Various Artists: Freddie Stone, Greg Errico, Larry Graham, Rose Stone, Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart, Jerry Martini, Cynthia Robinson. It's totally conceivable that without Sly Stone and his innovations there would be no funk, hip-hop, or club music as we know it. The artists on this compilation give a nod to that notion by paying tribute to the great Sly with a variety of covers, remixes, and reinventions of tunes by the Family Stone. The hip-hop nation weighs in with performances by the Roots, Chuck D., Big Boi, Cee-Lo, and others, while R&B veterans (D'Angelo, Isaac Hayes, Janet Jackson), electronica figures (Moby), and pop- rockers (Stephen Tyler, John Mayer) join the fray too, making for a fun, varied homage to one of pop music's most pivotal artists.
