Rose Stone

Rose Stone (or Rosie Stone, born Rosemary Stewart on March 21, 1945 in Vallejo, California) is an African-American singer and keyboardist. She is best known as one of the lead singers in Sly & the Family Stone, a popular psychedelic soul/funk band founded by her brothers Sly Stone and Freddie Stone. Rose often wore a blond wig while in performance with the band, and was noted for her strong vocals and Hammond organ playing.

After the band's dissolution in 1975, Rose, by then married to Sly's former bodyguard Bubba Banks, recorded a solo album on Motown Records as Rose Banks. She eventually retired from the music industry, and is today part of the musical department at her brother Freddie's church.

Now her daughter, Lisa Stone , is singing with Vet Stone and Cynthia Robinson in Phunk Phamily Affair .
