Forever 5th Dimension mourns the passing of Sly Stone, a true innovator of multi-dimensional Funk who reshaped music and pop culture. His work with Sly & the Family Stone broke barriers in the late ’60’s and early ’70’s — bringing diverse people together, and melding musical genres (Rock, Jazz, Pop, Soul with Funk) spotlighting bold sound that resulted in unapologetic, unadulterated joy.
Sly’s songs like “Everyday People,” “Stand!,” “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” and “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” weren’t just hits — they were anthems of unity, love, and a revolutionary spirit.
LaMonte McLemore adds: “Some things we had in common: Earth, Wind and Fire consider both Sly & The Family Stone and The 5th Dimension as inspirations. And The 5th Dimension was proud to appear at the Harlem Cultural Festival with such greats as Sly & The Family Stone.”
Our prayers for his many worldwide fans, and his family.
