Freddie Stone (born Frederick Stewart, June 5, 1947, Vallejo, California, United States) is an African-American musician, best known for his role as co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist in the band Sly and the Family Stone, the frontman for which was his brother Sly Stone. His sisters Rosie Stone and Vet Stone were also members of the band. After leaving the band in the mid-1970s, Freddie Stone signed a short recording contract with Motown Records. ==Personal life== Stewarts childhood years were spent in Vallejo California. His parents were Christians and they attended the Pentecostal church. They also were musicians with his father playing violin, harp and guitar and his mother playing guitar as well as piano. His early years were spent at church and without racial inhibition. His mother would babysit the children in the neighborhood who happened to be of all colors. He started playing music when he was twelve.〔Wax Poetics (Freddy Stone discusses Sly and the Family Stone’s Stand! on its 45th anniversary by Chris Williams )〕 As a result of fighting at the Vallejo School, he was expelled and thus had to attend Benicia High School. He did quite well there and in his junior year he was MVP on his basketball team. In his senior year he was president of the student body. Not long after he graduated, the Stewart family along with Freddie moved to San Francisco.〔Krisinabox (Profile “From Stone to Glory” – The Life of Freddie Stone )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freddie Stone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
