from Sly and the Family Stone

"For the past two decades he has struggled personally and
professionally, running afoul of the law for sundry reasons, while his
infrequent releases have met with lackluster sales and reviews."

"Stone was arrested and imprisoned for cocaine posession by the end of
1987, and he was never able to recover from the final arrest. Stone
continued to battle his addiction, with varying degrees of success. By
his 1993 induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he had disappeared
from public view. Following his appearence at the induction ceremony,
he was found living in a sheltered-housing complex. Avenue Records
gave Stone a recording contract in 1995, but as of 1997, his comeback
album had not been recorded. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine--All Music
Guide"
