Book excerpt: Sly Stone began recording There's a Riot Goin' On in late 1970 as a follow-up to the commercially successful Stand!. In this brisk, inventive book, Miles Marshall Lewis chronicles Sly's descent into a haze of drug addiction and delirium as he rejects the successful formula - "'Dance to the Medley,' dance to the shmedly" - and creates one of the most powerful and haunting albums to inspire the hiphop movement.
