Hows this for a hot 45?
In 1969, Sly and the Family Stone released the song Stand!
On the B-side: I Want to Take You Higher.
A and B are considered two of the greatest rock songs ever.
But the impact of Stone and his group is restored and examined inSly Lives!

The documentary opens with Sly being interviewed, decades ago, by a young Maria Shriver.

Sly Lives!explores the intense pressure Stone faced after the band rocketed to fame.

So, theres pressure coming from both sides.
What does Sly 82 now, and sober as of several years ago think of the film?
We heard that he loved it, Patel said.
