![The musician and documentary filmmaker Questlove says that music Sly Stone created in the 1960s and 1970s laid the foundation for the pop, R&B and funk sounds we hear today.](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims3/default/strip/false/crop/2400x1350+0+75/resize/2400x1350!/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F93%2F43%2Fceba67f74d85992c970a04031e79%2Fsundance-first-still-pc-stephen-paley.jpg)
In SLY LIVES!, Questlove documents the genius of a funk trailblazer — and the pressure Sly felt as a Black artist. "Sly will be ... the first domino in a long list of people that will self-sabotage."
