Sad to see she lost her battle with cancer at the age of 69. She was a founding member and helped form their distinct sound.
I only saw Sly Stone once, at the chaotic Coachella show, and she clearly was the glue holding that band together.

"Cynthia, Jerry!!

Listen to me
Cynthia & Jerry got a message they're sayin':

Rest In Peace, Cynthia.
