Thank you Sly Stone

👑 Funk for the Fathers — and a Legend We Honor

This week’s episode of Funky Friday is more than a Father’s Day special — it’s a tribute.

Originally built to celebrate dads, mentors, and funkfather figures, Episode 19 now takes on deeper meaning following the passing of the legendary Sly Stone.

So today, we honor both:👉 The fathers who raised us👉 And the man whose music helped raise everybody.

We open and close the episode with Sly & The Family Stone, honoring the sound that shaped generations.

In between: a soulful, funky, truth-telling lineup for the people who showed us how to move through life — with rhythm, love, and style.
