It's been too long since our last celebration of all things soul, so in order to satisfy your longing for the groove we present this fabulous new documentary about Sly Stone. One of the great musical innovators of the last fifty years, Sly survived his drug addiction but disappeared from the limelight in the early 80s. He became untraceable for years. In 2002, director/musician Willem Alkema started searching for the iconic singer. A mix of archival performances and interviews with friends and former bandmates, Alkema’s film unfolds like an episode of CSI with one of the funkiest soundtracks you can imagine. Our screening is held in the same week as Sly’s 68th birthday. We can think of no better celebration.
