An in depth celebration of Sly Stone on his 80th birthday, a fond farewell to Bobby Caldwell, and new tracks from Django Django, Fred again.. and more.
Mar 15, 2023

We’re taking a deep dive into the life, artistry, and passions of the 80 year-old funk legend (and father to our own Novena Carmel) Sly Stone. Celebrate his next trip around the sun with a hearty serving of Sly & the Family Stone classics, and solo work. Come for the cuts, stay for the loving attention to detail that family does best.

We’re also honoring the legacy of 71 year-old R&B stalwart Bobby Caldwell with his seminal hit, “What You Won’t Do For Love.” The oft-covered, and sampled song has been a phenomenal gift to the culture at large. Join us as we say farewell.

Also, join us as a KCRW member! None of the tunes, or tributes can happen without your support. Whether it’s in depth jubilation around timeless themes, or the very latest from Django Django and Fred again.. — Morning Becomes Eclectic is here to meet your musical needs. Any amount keeps the sounds flowing freely.
