SLY STONE OK'S COFFEE CHAIN'S TRIBUTE ALBUM

JOSS STONE, STEVEN TYLER and BUDDY GUY are among the stars paying tribute to reclusive funk pioneer SLY STONE on a new covers album.

Stone granted bosses at US coffee chain Starbucks permission to re-record classic SLY + THE FAMILY STONE tracks by the musician himself.

Starbucks released the star-studded compilation yesterday (13JUL05) - two months before Sony chiefs release an expanded version of the album, DIFFERENT STROKES.

Among the tracks covered are Stone, JOHN LEGEND and VAN HUNT revamping FAMILY AFFAIR, MAROON 5 covering EVERYDAY PEOPLE and Tyler teaming up with steel guitarist ROBERT RANDOLPH on I WANT TO TAKE YOU HIGHER.

One track, BLACK EYED PEAS star WILL.I.AM's version of DANCE TO THE MUSIC, will also be used on the soundtrack of upcoming movie STEALTH.

he's an unsung fucking genius;i'm glad he's getting some recognition finally...
but joss stone is so fucking young to me....
and this whole coffee generation bugs me.....
its like they're taking something sacred and homogenizing it with a foamy topping.
