It’s a “family affair”.....
Mr G worked with Sly in the mid 80’s. At the time he was basically running a con in different places around the country. He found a “producer” (a young aspiring no name wannabe) and agreed to do a project with him. The producer would put Sly and entourage in a hotel, pay for all expenses and studio time (enter Mr G). At the time, Sly had no hair (wore a wig) no teeth (dentures) and missing nasal passages from snorting various things for so long.
In the studio, he would start one of his oldies, and could manage about 15-20 seconds of music before he was distracted and on to something else. He didn’t get even a smidge of new music done. The last straw for Mr G was when he caught Sly and several others free basing in the tiny restroom. He nudged them all towards the door, and locked them out. They were done.
When they left the hotel rooms they had done massive damage. We heard about the next “producer” they were working with in Fla. and later another one maybe in Kansas?
I am amazed in this lawsuit that there was any product done that would earn any money to argue over. Perhaps they took over his catalogue and did a re-issue.
