The funk and soul band responsible for 'Dance To The Music' and 'Everyday People', The Family Stone, is back in the studio for the first time in 32 years. Sadly its iconic frontman, Sly Stone is absent.
Drummer Greg Errico said: "I'll put it like this, the Hammond is on and running and idling, and the seat's warm, and whenever [Sly] wants to come sit in it, he's more than welcome. But he's been a recluse for the last 20 years or so... I don't understand it."
Stone, 59, the innovative producer, singer, songwriter, and keyboardist behind the band has not recorded since 1982 due to drug-related legal and medical problems.
The seeds of reunion were planted 18 months ago after the Family Stone gathered in New York to accept an R&B Foundation Pioneer Award.
