Documentary Preview: “Sly Lives! Aka the Burden of Black Genius”

A singular pop/funk presence on American radio of the ’60s and early ’70s, rock historians fan and wide have long declared the genius of Sly Stone and the tunes he and his musical “family” brought to the world.

Now Hulu’s got a new Questlove documentary that remembers him and fills the screen with fans, contemporaries and critiics who recognize who and what he’s been.

What a grand Valentine’s Day gift. “Sly Lives!” streams Feb. 13.
