Rip Mr Sly
So sad to hear this. Sleep well Mr. Stewart. Thanks 4 the Music
He really lived it all! Rip and I’ll watch any show about him
RIP, tho I’m surprised he lived as long as he did.
The last story I saw about him was, he was living on the streets in a camper homeless. Drugs took their toll on his life. After that doc I thought he would have passed way before now. He was still trying to make music while a little scattered brain and high. I felt so bad for him.
I loved his music. I used to sing around the record player and belt out his tunes. It's a family affair was a favorite. LOLO
Fried his brain 50 years ago. Dance to the music.
Who owns his NIL & music?
^ hopefully his family. LOLO
