Just randomly, online.I’m gonna venture a guess that it’s fake.
Edit: Where did you find it?
It was the hand that made me wonder if it was legit. It's pretty much where it should be if it's not fake.That photo should be in 1979, or maybe 1980, if I’m not mistaken. Gah! Don’t know what to make of it anymore. The lightning seems to be spot on, and I just noticed Michael’s hand on Sly’s right shoulder.
An awards ceremony? A posh dinner for, I dunno, NAACP or something like that? Black Caucus Awards? I'm just guessing. I'm going to tag @Michaels Lover We need her expert eye!They’re both wearing bow ties!
He wouldn't have been dressed like that, though. Not for a gig.But when could it have been? Could Sly have attended a Triumph tour concert, perchance?
Yes it is!Can't find out anything about this photo. I hope it isn't photoshopped.
Looks legit.

It's def OTW era.
Michael checks out. I wonder about Sly, though. Did he have a wardrobe change during the ceremony?Yes it is!
It's from 1980 american Music Awards
Thank you!Yes it is!

michael?
i had to trek back because this was bothering me , before i do anything else , because it's alot to examine- we're talking about DD here right ? [ i was being moved by the midnight special floof sparkly pink hat videos! then you yapped about DD i can't be blamed!Yes, Michael’s genius.
listenng to it nowWell, it's quite a while since I heard it. They did it in 1985, I believe, but I only came across it on YT a couple of years ago. I wouldn't have listened if it was just Iggy but bc Bootsy was in it I gave it a go. Didn't like it. It's quite 'jangly', iirc. I don't know whether you would like it but I'm willing to stick my neck out and say you're not missing anything if you decide not to bother. As I said, the bass line is beautiful but you've got all the jangly stuff on top and Iggy not really doing justice to the lyrics, the feel, the story. His voice just doesn't have the weight. It doesn't even sound as if he understands the story being told. I mean, Iggy has certainly lived the life, I'm sure he does understand the story. I'm sure anyone could relate to those lyrics but I do remember just not feeling convinced by his performance.
Ive always said that zin , i feel like they missed out chunks and chunks of m, asking stupid crap when ... ugh , i am so angry about it , thus, why so late on checking stuff out. Like the fabric of everything i have ever listened to .. out . They never did him or sly any justice.Bc no-one ever interviewed Michael properly. He mentions bands / artists here and there, mostly when he's in J5. But no-one seems to have ever talked to him properly about the music he loved or grew up with. This is why my fantasy of interviewing Michael starts with exactly this. And probably would end there. I'd be happy just to talk to him about this and leave all the rest. I especially want to talk to him about the music of the 60's and very early 70's. That would be my dream.
Must admit, I'm not mad keen on the actual title. I think that's why I forgot all about it even though I've posted stuff on it. That said, I can't face re-posting everything onto yet another thread.i dont like the current thread for sly , needs to b an appreciation thread There isn't [Though i'm still looking ]
im surprised you people could read that fswait
do of we a thread of sly ?
you're not flipping kidding babe its like a bloody jigsaw puzzle currentlyDon't think so. I've posted loads of stuff but it's scattered everywhere.
wait
do of we a thread of sly ?
Yep. That's pure 'wendi-speak'.im surprised you people could read that fs
The press hasn't been so bad to Sly, imo. They like and respect him and understand his place in the grand scheme of things. They take him seriously unlike the general attitude to Michael. Sly kinda flies under the radar but I think that's partly bc his career ground to a halt far too early. And that's really down to his lifestyle. He just blew up everything. Perhaps not intentionally but it happened, nevertheless. So he's really celebrated, otoh, and yet weirdly low-profile and almost off the radar, otoh.Ive always said that zin , i feel like they missed out chunks and chunks of m, asking stupid crap when ... ugh , i am so angry about it , thus, why so late on checking stuff out.

it's confusing when its not in front of me ready to go ,but i have listened to some albums today gonna start at the beginning , not going to look at any complications because that is going to confuse me even more , But i want anthology already , I have listened to Life, [some] Riot , [a bit] ... Stand pink album, I gravitate towards, Dance to the music ,i think . But pink album is the one that sticks out so far, and a baby album , black and white cover idk . i can't remember, I noticed the catalogue of Sly is not that vast , nor millions of tracksSo go and look for stuff. It's out there.
Oh boy , there's ..
there are loads of floofy hat pics ! [not complaining this time lolThat hat picture trumps most, yes.
No , i adore the feeling of my confusion it excites me to go even wilder !Moderation is a virtue!
Yeah, like I said, his discography is not that big bc it all ended far too soon. The band was over by mid-70's. I'm quite sure he had more in him. He did do some solo albums. I never listened to them, they didn't do well, I know nothing about them. I just stick the Family Stone stuff.it's confusing when its not in front of me ready to go ,but i have listened to some albums today gonna start at the beginning , not going to look at any complications because that is going to confuse me even more , But i want anthology already , I have listened to Life, [some] Riot , [a bit] ...

itsI have never watched the Oprah interview in its entirety, just fragments here and there.
No, that's not the reason. I can't stand Oprah as a 'journalist'. Never liked her even before she did the Michael interview. I dislike what I've seen of it and have no intention of watching the entire thing.Bloddy no wonder zin , it is chopped n screwed on you tube,
right but its like a ruddy maze though im working throough discogs because google misses chunks out !haha and you tube is too tempting THE FLOFF THE SPARKLE
what theCan't find out anything about this photo. I hope it isn't photoshopped.

EDIT - @Michaels Lover Whaddya reckon? Is this photo legit?
id say real OH PLEASE GOD PLEASE GOD PLEASE POWER OF MIKE POWER OF MIKE PLEASE GOD LET THAT BE REALI’m gonna venture a guess that it’s fake.
