The book traces the roots in North Texas of the boy born Sylvester Stewart, and follows him and his siblings from the family’s move to Vallejo, California and their first childhood recordings of gospel music, through their growing up with rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950′s, Sly’s high school doo wop group and romances, and his precocious success as a record producer and radio deejay.

The Family Stone band, which included Sylvester, Freddie, and Rose Stewart, is followed from its formation in San Francisco on to national and international fame, seemingly celebrating the ’60s rebellion against racial, sexual, musical, and behavioral conventions.
