Sly Stone, the groundbreaking and supremely influential leader of the band Sly and the Family Stone, died at age 82, his family announced.

Sly Stone died on Monday, at 82, and there it was again. He “redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music,” declared an official news release. It’s more like landscapes.

From "Everyday People" to "Dance to the Music," these are Sly & the Family Stone's best songs and greatest hits, a tribute to the legacy of Sly Stone.

Sly Stone taught pop stars how to dress wild. Stone wanted your ears and your eyes. His style paved the way for the fashion of musicians such as Prince, Outkast and Beyoncé.
