HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH DAYS - SLY SEVENTIES


Sly Stone and Kathy Silva
Halston


Hot Fun In The Summertime
Sly and The Family Stone

"Sly Stone and Kathy Silva flabbergastingly Halstoned in golden 3D sequins for their Madison Square Garden, pre-Sly and The Family Stone concert, Joe Eula directed nuptials. Some 23,000 paying guests screamed and danced. Reminded Sly's ma, '"This is a sacred ceremony."' Explained Sly, '"...I have a little boy now (baby was nine months old by wedding time) and I don't want him to be a liar when he says Dada."' Mrs. Sly: "When you are as much in love as Sly and I are, you just go to extremes and get married."' The epoch-making Sly sound? It was strictly decline and fall."
