He broke barriers, the reverberations of which are still felt within not just R\u0026amp;B and hip-hop but pop music as a whole. The omnipresence of tunes like 'Everyday People' and 'Family Affair' is a constant reminder of Sly's pivotal role in shaping black music. \"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\u0026amp;B world often used Sly tunes to bolster their own career, such as Ike \u0026amp; 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. \"Everybody Is A Star\" also features several Sly related rarities, and is thus linked to Ace's earlier collections \"Precious Stone\" and \"Listen To The Voices\". There are rarely-heard Sly compositions performed by 6IX, the Magnificent Men, Diana Ross and Joe Hicks. The Family Stone itself is the artist on the uptown rarity 'Man Does Not Live'. With copious, well-illustrated notes by Alec Palao, \"Everybody Is A Star\" is essential for any admirer of the work of the incredible, unpredictable, one and only Sly Stone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife And Death In G ; A (Live) - Joe Hicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf You Want Me To Stay - Eric Benét\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want To Take You Higher -Ike ; Tina Turner ; The Ikettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday People - Jeff Buckley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Call Me Nigger, Whitey - Gene Harris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody Is A Star - The Five Stairsteps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriends - Bobby Freeman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) - Magazine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Up And Get Richer - The Magnificent Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody's Watching You - Al Jarreau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan Does Not Live (Demo) - Sly ; The Family Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Lo Li - Diana Ross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunnin' Away - The Raincoats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSing A Simple Song - The Hearts Of Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Never Fall In Love Again - John Lee's Groundhogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Just Like You - 6ix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Get High On You - Rose Banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily Affair - Iggy Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNite People Make It - George ; Teddy ; The Condors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're The One - The Three Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Fun In The Summertime - David T Walker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand - The Jackson 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 029667112727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ace Records Uk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.7.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ace Records Uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48075124310116,"sku":"556576","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2777\/4052\/files\/4401532-3321249.jpg?v=1773709720","url":"https:\/\/latchkeyrecords.com\/products\/everybody-is-a-star-sly-stone-songbook-various-everybody-is-a-star-sly-stone-songbook-various-cd","provider":"Latchkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
