The final entry in the 40th anniversary restoration campaign of the great album discography of the first golden decade of Sly & The Family Stone – kicked off with the spring release of the expanded editions of their seven original studio albums on Epic Records (1967-1974) – now comes full circle as Greatest Hits arrives in stores August 28th on Epic/Legacy & Sony BMG Music Entertainment.

Greatest Hits quickly took on a life of its own as the track choices were virtually gold. Every one of Sly & The Family Stone’s ten sides that made the pop and R&B charts; “Fun” (from Life) and “You Can Make It If You Try” (from Stand!), one of the Woodstock favorites. # 1 R&B and # 2 Pop, sold in excess of 5-times RIAA platinum to date, and #60 on the Rolling Stone 500.
