Little Sister - You’re The One (1970) funk bomb Sly Stone production Family Stone backing vocalists

Sly Stone wrote, produced, arranged, and played the music on this funk masterpiece by Little Sister, the Family Stone’s backing vocalists who included his youngest sister Vet Stone. The trio’s other members were Mary McCreary (who later married Leon Russell and released two classic mid-70s albums with him), and Elva Mouton. After the runaway success of Sly and the Family Stone’s fourth album Stand! (1969) which sold over three million copies, Sly made a production deal with Atlantic and ran his own short-lived imprint Stone Flower from 1969-70. “You’re The One“ (Parts 1 & 2) was released in early 1970 and peaked at #4 R&B on 2/28/70.
