\"Different Strokes by Different Folks\" is the title of the tribute which is expected to hit store shelves September 27, via Epic/Legacy.
All new recordings will be combined with master tapes from Sly & The Family Stone. The tapes were given to the producers and artists who then recorded and sampled other music onto the original masters.
This new mix has personalized and updated these timeless classics. Created under aegis of the reclusive Sly Stone, his approval of every aspect of the recordings has resulted in a marriage of old school traditions and new school attitude, creating brand new music.
Sly And The Family Stone are credited as one of the first racially integrated bands in music history, belting their message of peace, love and social consciousness through a string of hit anthems that fused R&B, soul, funk and rock n roll.
On \"Different Strokes by Different Folks\", a stylistically, culturally and racially disparate group of chart-toppers mirrors that idealistic diversity.
Sly\'s been sampled by Janet Jackson, Beastie Boys, Kid Rock, Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube and Public Enemy to name just a few! He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1992, and is the recipient of the 2002 R&B Foundation Pioneer Award.
