I started watching the doc, but during work break, got to the Woodstock segment. I definitely want to see entirety.
Sorely underrated artist. One of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century. Sad to hear.
Supposedly, Sly was frequently late or a no show for his concerts. I was told a student was assigned to keep tabs on Sly to make sure he made it to the concerts on time.
