RIP Sly. I can't tell you how many hours of listening pleasure you've brought me
Que Sera, Sera for sure. Hot Fun... still hits everytime too. ALBUMS of material, and even the later projects had some joints. I just played this one out the other night:
I was once trading records with a famous funk collectro/dj after getting back from Kenya with some extra copies of things. Sly came up (I think the Abaco Dream 7"?) and he mentioned that he knew the hits but hadn't really given the albums a good listen before. It was sort of
given his specialty.
Another story: I'm working with a student in my research lab on a study about the emotional response to Nipsey Hussle's death on social media across LA. He's really into hip-hop and one day earlier this year, he was like, 'it's Lent and I'm not listening to hip-hop for 40 days!' He was giving ish like Johnny Cash a first look and liking it. I suggested a few things and the clear winner was Riot. It gave me hope for the future in an otherwise bleak time.

My dad introduced me to both Sly and the Beach Boys and was a big fan of both.
I read this article about Brian's lost songs and found it amusing:

I read this article about Brian's lost songs and found it amusing:
The strange history behind Brian Wilson's lost rap song 'Smart Girls'
The Beach Boys' founding member never seemed to encounter a genre, instrument or movement he didn't want to incorporate into his soundscape. That's why it's equally surprising and totally believable that at the very start of the '90s he recorded a rap song, "Smart Girls."
Holy shit dudes….Ozzy today and Malcolm Jamal Warner yesterday, damn what a week already and its only tuesday
Hulk Hogan…. what?? omg this week has been crazy, between monday and friday…3 total legends lost, Ozzy, Theo, Hogan… damn
Mandems dropping like flies. Can everyone please remain alive for a minute? Well, apart from...Anyway... Where do you start with the Blizzard of Ozz? I haven't visited the Sabbath catalogue since the 80s when it was currency amongst us scum kids on the estate, but listening to it now it had a manic, dark sound and Ozzy was the icing on the cake.
'Diana' is Gap, his brother. "The Hill Where The Lord Hides" is one of my favorite songs I like to listen to while going hiking. Funk Inc. did a fantastic cover of it.

RIP Eddie Palmieri - my college radio shows were named after Harlem River Drive (Bobbi, but also Eddie), so been listening to his catalogue for long time. Pure class.
