Sylvester Stewart was born on March 15, 1944 in Texas, and in 1950 he moved with his family to San Francisco. He began to study music from an early age and already at the age of four he recorded the first gospel music with the family group Stewart four. In high school, Sylvester renamed himself Sly and took up playing rock and roll. Then he got a job as a DJ at a rhythm and blues radio station, and his shows were so popular that Sly got a job as a producer at Autumn records. Enriched with new experiences, Stewart decided to form his own group. The Stoners (this was the original name) included Cynthia Robinson (b. January 12, 1946; trumpet), Jerry Martini (b. October 1, 1943; saxophone), Rosie Stone (b. March 21, 1945; keyboards), Freddie Stone (b. 5 June 1946; guitar), Greg Errico (b. 1 September 1946; drums) and Larry Graham (b. August 14, 1946; bass). In 1967, the group renamed itself "Sly and The Family Stone" and under this label debuted with the single "I ain't Got Nobody". Almost immediately, a contract was signed with Epic records, which released the group's first album. The mixing of races and genders in one team led to the mixing of musical styles. The album featured psychedelic, funk, rhythm and blues and dance tunes. The main hit with "Whole new thing" was "Dance to the music", which burst into the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic. Sly and The Family Stone's stage performances, with fantastic hairstyles and costumes and choreographic elements, have added to the popularity of Sly and The Family Stone. In 1968, the single "Everyday people" was released, a line from which ("different strokes for different folks") became a popular saying of the late 60s.
