Sly Lives! (aka The Burden Of Black Genius) (Soundtrack) - 2xLP

Compiled for Questlove's 2025 documentary, Sly Lives! works both as a sharp introduction and as a worthwhile companion piece for longtime listeners. It pulls classic singles, alternate mixes, edits and unreleased versions across the group's late-60s and 70s peak without feeling like a throwaway tie-in.

Underdog, Everyday People and Thank You still hit on contact, while the archive material gives this 2xLP a real reason to exist beyond the film.
