Sly and the Family Stone frontman Sly Stone is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-singer-composer Sly Stone has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Stone, a cultural icon

Born Sylvester Stewart in Denton on March 15, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Stone's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Sly hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sly Stone as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Sly, you're the best!
