Although Family Stone band members have been in touch recently with Sly Stone, the band was taken by surprise when the funk legend joined the band to perform “If You Want Me To Stay” playing keyboards.

The performance happened this past Sunday August 23rd at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

“It was quite a surprise, a pleasant surprise and it was cool,” said Family Stone member Greg Errico. “I couldn’t see people’s faces in the audience but everybody told me there was a lot of crying going on — it was emotional.”

Diagnosis: The Family Stone features original members Errico, Jerry Martini, and Cynthia Robinson with Sly Stone’s daughter, Phunne Stone. A Sly and the Family Stone box set, “Live at the Fillmore East October 4th & 5th, 1968,” was released last month.
