Sly Stone
Sylvester Stewart (born March 15, 1943), better known by his stage name Sly Stone, is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer who is most famous for his role as frontman for Sly and the Family Stone, playing a critical role in the development of funk with his pioneering fusion of soul, rock, psychedelia and gospel in the 1960s and 1970s. AllMusic stated that "James Brown may have invented funk, but Sly Stone perfected it," and credited him with "creating a series of euphoric yet politically charged records that proved a massive influence on artists of all musical and cultural backgrounds." ''Crawdaddy!'' has called him "the founder of progressive soul". Born in Texas and raised in the Bay Area of Northern California, Stone mastered several instruments at an early age and performed gospel music as a child with his siblings (and future bandmates) Freddie and Rose.

Sly (opera)
''Sly, ovvero La leggenda del dormiente risvegliato'' (English: ''Sly, or The Legend of the Sleeper Awoken'') is an opera in three acts by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari to an Italian libretto by Giovacchino Forzano, based on the Induction (the Prologue) to William Shakespeare's ''The Taming of the Shrew'' (the German version of libretto, ''Sly, oder Die Legende vom wiedererweckten Schläfer'', was translated by ). Unlike most of Wolf-Ferrari's other operas, this is a tragedy. ''Sly'' as verismo Many musicologists regard Wolf-Ferrari as having written only one verismo opera (''I gioielli della Madonna'', Berlin, 1911). There are reasons to disagree, and to consider ''Sly'' (La Scala, 1927) not only as being, in many ways, a verismo opera, but also as being nearly the last of its kind. And, as such, the virtual end of the noble line of Italian opera, starting, perhaps, with Cimarosa, perhaps with Paisiello, perhaps even much earlier, passing through bel canto, continuing with Verdi and hi ...
