Talk:Sly and the Family Stone

The (still active) Family Stone

I'm slightly confused that the article indicates that the band ceased to exist entirely long ago aside from a couple of concerts in 2006 & 2012 -- because the band didn't stop touring after Sly left, just became The Family Stone. Perhaps one of the article's regular editors could fix that in the article intro & infobox, so visitors don't get the wrong idea? (I saw them a while back and had an awesome time; I'd hate to think someone that's already a fan might miss out due to thinking they're not active.)  —xyzzy 09:53, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Then obviously, Sly & The Family Stone has ceased to exist - you are talking about a successor group (of sorts), not the article's subject. Understand? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.23.84 (talk) 01:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

No- it just lost a member. If Adam Levine left Maroon 5, it would still be maroon 5 Dark Lord Thomas Pie (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I think both are right - sort of. Technically a group named The Family Stone is not Sly & the Family Stone. Musically both versions of the group may be most certainly similar. After the person who 'fronts' a group leaves - writes, produces, performs etc. in the group - it very well may be the band is the same in name only. It's an individual thing based an the particular group you are considering. THX1136 (talk) 16:52, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed here it says that he left the group in early 1971, but he still played with the band on The Mike Douglas Show and Dick Cavett Show, which were around August that year. Is there anythinv that applies he left early 1971 or can we just edited it to 1971 or fall 1971? 202.90.242.154 (talk) 12:16, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
