Idolised Sly & the Family Stone back in the day, still do,there was no group like them then or now unique great memories 🙏🕊

Mr stone im glad the lord stepped in and saved you..I'm pushing 70 grew up with your music I still listen to it God bless brother

Mr. Freddie Stone. Your music lives on forever....That blessing is from God. I WAS MORE LUCKY THAN ANYONE. I was the little kid who sat on his stingray bike in your fathers driveway many days on DeSoto & Urbano Drive in SF listening to your rehearsals and soaking up knowledge from you guys, then riding home around the corner to pick notes out on our old piano. Ironically, later in time, a friend of ours, Roland T., once brought you to my studio on Wallace St. across the street from the 7up factory in Bayview SF, and you blessed me, while playing a bassline, rhythm, and melody simultaneously. THAT WAS BEYOND AMAZING to a young 🎹 dude. THANKS TO YOU & THE FAM, I've toured with Envogue/Arsenio Hall 3 times, and STILL making music. We have history and I wanted to say thanks to you, Cynthia, and Sly for ALL you've done for my musical life and style, directly and indirectly. Bless you brother🤝🏾 -Stevio Rome. p.s.- Cynthia (drove a cool jaguar) was the kindest to this little kid of all y'all.🤣 "If you want me to stay" was the 1st ever piece of sheet music that I ever bought😎I LOVE & CHERISH YOUR GIFTS TO THE 🌍 THANKS SO MUCH

So cool to hear from this great Freddie Stone. jamm on.

My top 5 favorite bands of all time . Stones, Who, Zep, Van Halen, Sly and the family stone

Very gratifying to see Freddie doing so well, having found himself, having shed the baggage that pulled so many down. Congratulations Freddie, you are out of the shadows and in the light, and I know that you brought many along with you. Your strength and faith are inspiring.

Amazing track, very soulful, that shows how talented Freddie is !

Love you Pastor Stewart 🤗💖🤗💥💪🏿💥👍🏿💥👊🏿

Wow,I always wondered what happen to Freddie. He had the strength and courage to walk away from it all,( music and drugs) and turn his life over to god and changed his ways and actions and still holding on living life to the fullest.. God is good

I absolutely love this testimony Pastor Freddie! What an awesome story of God’s amazing Grace!!!!!

Love you Pastor Stewart

Wowza! This is great!5-12-19 Haven't seen Freddie in Decades! Coka! Miss you all.Best Music in the World to this day! I still blast your Music! Makes me HAPPY! God bless you all, & thanks for all you gave us!

"the scriptures teach us, the steps of a courageous man, it is in proverbs, are ordered by the lord" -Pastor Freddie Stewart/Stone

Love his sermon. This is a man who has lived and found that soul goes deeper when you are high on life--on faith, whatever that faith may be.

Love ya Freddie, awesome guitar!

Loved the whole thing....to beginning to end. Excellent

I wish Sly could have found his way to the lord back then. Loved this, thank you for sharing. Peace and love and God bless!

FREDDIE STONE, SLY STONE, THE OLDER BROTHER AND BAND LEADER, SISTER ROSIE, LARRY GRAHAM, JERRY MARTINI, GREG ENRICO, CYNTHIA ROBINSON AND BACKGROUND SINGERS LITTLE SISTER, ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS MADE SLY STONE VERSION OF STONE POPULAR, PALPABLE, PLEASURABLE AND PLENTIFUL FOR THOSE MUSIC LOVERS LIKE MYSELF 👍 👌

And we in the know who were actually there, know that Hendrix actually played the lead on Sex Machine but didn't accept the credits because of tax and contractual problems. That's a fact.

This is awesome. This is awesome testimony. I don't keep up with media, etc. I said this recently, though. About Sly Stone. I read that this family was COGIC, if I am correct. That is the background the foundation. I said that Sly yet lives, is that HIS FAMILY LABORS IN PRAYER FOR HIS LIFE!!! THEY YET LABOR FOR HIS SOUL!!! I appreciate this testimony. Thank You, Lord Jesus! Thank God!!!

All you mentioned from the clip above from a sore throat to the door slam to fake friends is so true ,same story for me less cash obviously different coast line,,drugs don't discriminate or know East from West all ends same few ways. I'm in church now to,that's what works for me.

Thank. God for. JESUS

I am so lucky.I have met Larry Graham and I am sure he and his awesome wife would remember me.I was so fan-crazed that Larry's permanent smile went a bit unsure,but of course he was still smiling! I had also "drunk too much coffee" and streetwise intuitive beautiful Larry Graham and his wife were well aware.This was by far the best meeting of a musical talent of my life.Larry's wife gave me positive energy at the same time as gently ridiculing me.I love you both,thanks for letting me spend five minutes with you at the signing tent at Byron bay bluesfest

I met him once when we were looking for the same bass at Guitar Center Hollywood, back in 1979. He and his wife were so cool it was unbelievable. He actually handed me the bass that he was trying out, and let me play for HIM! I ran across him numerous times after that at the airport in L.A. It almost became routine for me to assist him and chat. One time he was going to take my name and address when the airlines told him he had too man bags to travel with and they wanted him to check his Bass, flying down to Jamaica. He looked at me and said "no way am I doing that. If they say no at the gate I'll give it to you and pick it up next time I come through. True story. Fortunately for him they didn't take it away at the gate. But it would have been in good hands if they had. It was a huge compliment that he trusted me like that.

Also met Sly back in '83 too. Never met Freddie, but my sister did once, unfortunately they were both on their way in the same car to get drugs. Great to see him doing so well.

God bless you Freddie.

Courageous!! Amen.

The Lord had me playing Summer Days til I found you. I’ve played the same song for over an hour then I found Freddie Stone preaching the gospel what a blessing.

You are incredible

Freddie, you were a KILLER axeman! I went to London to see you and Jimi play but unfortunately Jimi got hit that night.

Brilliant piece on how Freddie followed his heart and kept the funk alive. Amen

A really great vid.

Truth. Freddie yes. Bless

Great story thank you for sharing.

So happy for him, he survived, I wonder does he talk with Larry Graham now. Freddie has an excellent album spiritual in nature but kinda funky and I believe Sly makes an uncredited apperance on it you can hear him.

From 0:00 to 2:15 is KEY for us songwriters

What an example of how he could get out of drugs and have a worthy life when God helped him. How he changed his mind and how courageous he had to be to leave behind all things that did not help him. A great testimony of a fulfilling life

Oh my!

Wow I did not know that was Freddie playing that solo on sex machine I could have sworn that was sly wow never knew that Fred is a damn good guitar player

"He knew how to hook it up"

Travel down that road amen

Killer series!

. God is good

I love you Freddy

You go

Sly Stone did what I did in my band: "MacNasty!" - He dictated parts, which was the foundation of the way he wanted the song to take its course! - Freddie was confronted with drugs in the same manner as I was! - But I didn't "BITE!" - Cocaine wasn't the road I wanted to take! - Freddie became a preacher in Vallejo, Calif! - Larry Graham, actually became one of Jehovah's Witnesses! - So did George Benson, Marques Houston and myself!

JW killed Prince.

Freddy!

One of my favorite guitar player's knew more what he showed I first saw him on a black telecaster, then I saw him on this huge ES Gibson I was mad thought why that guitar seen early footage 1967 of him with the same axe then I understood the Sly sound (click) Dance to the music guitar solo couldn't been done with a tele or strat the tone was too thick hollow a BB King tone Soul clappin intro another example that tone

God is not a imatorator he is the creator he created us all...... and Sly just let it shine..it is sad we fell so short

I heard stevie wonder

THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU CAN EVER GIVE ANYONE IS SOUL EXIST BECAUSE OF GODS LOVE FOR IT...1 800 LOVE GOD AND 1 888 I SING HU

THE HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME SO

Jesus not only a talented Musician IF I could go to this church I surley would..I have been a heavy metal musician in the 80s and I got paid fairly well we worked 7 days a week back in the day and I must have put every dollar up my nose, But to have a REAL Rockstar say this its not true..nobody quite gets it..Freddy If you ever see this I know its alot to ask but maybe the Lord could inspire you to minister a Phone call to an Old heavy white rocker {I still have my hair} hahaha by the way I am also a HUGE fan.

Wow he looks good for his age. It proves that black don't crack.

Does anyone know the name of the song he starts to play at 11:26?
