"In The Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.
Following the loss of musical genius Sly Stone, I asked for your voicemails to remember him and to share your favorite songs from his catalog. You did not disappoint! There’s quite a few of your picks in the show today, so hopefully you can hear your voice reflected on Detroit public radio — just the way it should be! There’s also new music from Stereolab, Smerz and more.
Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
