DESCRIPTION

TRACK LIST

“Everybody Is A Star: The Sly Stone Songbook” seeks to celebrate the songcraft and influence of Sly Stone’s work via the interpretations of others across the past fifty years. Differing shades of jazz musicians such as Al Jarreau, Gene Harris and David T Walker flocked to his material, while the R&B world often used Sly tunes to bolster their own career, such as Ike & Tina Turner’s storming ‘I Want To Take You Higher.’
Rather than the expected treatments, we also showcase unusual and frequently fascinating covers from the likes of Iggy Pop, Magazine and Jeff Buckley. From Bobby Freeman’s soulful waltz ‘Friends’ to the Raincoats’ angular 80s take on ‘Runnin’ Away’ and Eric Benet’s teasing modern soul version of ‘If You Want Me To Stay,’ Sly’s music touched all genres.
