 Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sly & The Family Stone with the release of Greatest Hitson August 28th!! The final entry in the 40th anniversary restoration campaign of the great album discography of the first golden decade of Sly & The Family Stone – which kicked off with the spring release of the expanded editions of their seven original studio albums on Epic Records (1967-1974) – now comes full circle as Greatest Hits arrives in stores Aug 28th on Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAIN*MENT. With no new studio album shaping up for Sly in the crucial year-end tonnage, the creation of Greatest Hits quickly took on a life of its own that fall. The track choices were virtually pre-ordained – every one of Sly & The Family Stone’s ten sides that made the pop and R&B charts were on the menu, plus “Fun” (from Life) and “You Can Make It If You Try” (from Stand!), one of the Woodstock favorites. Greatest Hits was a runaway Christmas best-seller, hit # 1 R&B and # 2 pop, has sold in excess of 5-times RIAA platinum to date, and is listed at # 60 on the Rolling Stone 500.
