Sly and the Family Stone's Cynthia Robinson Dies

Sly and the Family Stone front woman Cynthia Robinson has died at the age of 71 after battling cancer. Cynthia was a trumpeter and vocalist whose bold and brassy style made her a key member of the group, which became one of the first bands to feature women and men and blacks and whites. After the band broke up in the mid-70s, Cynthia toured with Prince and played with former Sly bassist Larry Graham’s grand central station. Check out the video for all details.
