Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.
You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did. | | | Product Details: | | | Audio CD Release Date:

"The Best Single Disc Collection To Date"Jul 02, 2009
By Rhonda L. Singleton
"Playlist: The Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone"...I stumbled upon this one, completely by accident! and I'm so glad that I did. I like to compare this CD to the "Greatest Hits" and "Anthology" albums. Between the 2 the "Greatest Hits" was actually my favorite Sly & the Family Stone compilation because it had 12 of Sly's most essential recordings between 1968 and 1970 and unlike the 20 track "Anthology" album, never got to the point of being boring...after 7 minutes of 'Thank You For Talking To Me Africa' I found myself getting anxious for the "Anthology" to end. "The Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone" has just enough FUNK to keep the listener to stay in the groove from the beginning to end and include some of Sly's later classics..."Family Affair", "Runnin' Away", "Smilin'", "If You Want Me To Stay" and closes with "I Get High On You" Sly's last significant 'HIT' on the Epic record label. Between the "Greatest Hits", "Anthology" and "Best Of S&TFS" the "Playlist: Very Best Of Sly & The Family Stone" is the one that gets my vote!

By A customer
"mistermaxxx"
one of the founding forefathers of funk Sly Stone had his own bag. one of the greatest songwriters, arranger producer. these songs still as fresh as they did when they were first released. very versatile and a great place to start to a sly and the family stone newbie.innovative and ground breaking

Fine collection, has one or two songs more than Epic version.Aug 27, 2009
By Michael D. Chlanda
I bought this collection because as well as the hits, unlike the Epic version; which I bought, probably should have bought this only, it had "Family Affair" other one doesn't (unless get "Essential"). Nice funk, soul, 60's music. Like I want to take you higher and everyday people especially, a message we should all take up; accepting people as they are, "different strokes for different folks", most of us are everyday people, a message to all, like I said. Very cool.

"gypsy4u"
I absolutely love to be able to purchase cd's at extremely low prices and the quality is always excellent.
After my I was carjacked, all my cd's were lost. Now I am able to purchase cds without breaking me.
The product came in a timely manner. No problems with the disk. Happy Camper
