đź’ż Sly Stone changed the way we hear music. Not just funk. Not just soul. He changed everything.
He made music feel wild and free, but also deeply human. He wasn’t trying to be perfect, he was raw, unpredictable, and real. And somehow, in all that chaos, he gave us songs that still feel like the truth today.
He brought people together when the world was trying to keep us apart. A Black man leading an integrated band in the middle of the ’60s and ’70s, that was more than bold, it was revolutionary. ✊🏾
Sly didn’t follow rules, he set fire to them and built something better in their place. The groove was deeper. The message was louder. And the feeling… You couldn’t fake it if you tried.
🙏🏾 Thank you, Sly Stone. For the funk. For the freedom. For being fearless.
🕊️ Remembering David Ruffin (January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991)
Today marks the anniversary of the passing of David Ruffin, one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful voices in R&B and soul music history.
As the unmistakable lead voice behind one of the best groups of all time, Ruffin brought a raw intensity to every performance that helped define the golden era of Motown. His soulful delivery and heartfelt interpretation of lyrics made him stand out, not just within The Temptations, but across the entire music industry.
Even after stepping out as a solo artist, his voice remained unforgettable, and his influence continues to inspire generations of singers to this day.
🎤 Thank you for the music, the emotion, and the legacy. Rest in power, David Ruffin. Your voice lives on.
