Sly Stone and Brian Wilson were musical geniuses who paid a high price for their gifts.

They burned bright, with art they created at their peaks that became more moving and meaningful with time.

With his late brothers Carl and Dennis , Beach Boys co-founder Wilson was the architect of the California sound that captured surfing and sun.

Questlove: "Yes, Sly battled addiction. Yes, he disappeared from the spotlight. But he lived long enough to outlast many of his disciples" DeCurtis: " Millions of people had their lives changed by their music. That's quite an accomplishment".
