Sly Stone has announced the release of his memoir, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), out October 17, 2023. Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson among others, Thank You will include a foreword by Questlove. The book was created in collaboration with Sly Stone’s manager Arlene Hirschkowitz.

“For as long as I can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story,” Sly said in a statement. “I wasn’t ready. I had to be in a new frame of mind to become Sylvester Stewart again to tell the true story of Sly Stone. It’s been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too.”

Did you know? Sly became known as Sly in early grade school, the result of a friend misspelling Sylvester.
