Cynthia Robinson of Sly and the Family Stone Dies

December 3, 2015

UNDATED (AP) — Sly and the Family Stone trumpeter and singer Cynthia Robinson has died. Sax player Jerry Martini says Robinson died of cancer November 23 at her sister’s home in Carmichael, California. Robinson was 71. She’s the one on the song “Dance To The Music” who yells at the beginning, “Get up and dance to the music!” and later in the song says, “All the squares, go home!” Robinson was one of the first black female trumpet players to rise to national prominence. Sly and the Family Stone’s other hits include “Family Affair,” ”Hot Fun in The Summertime” and “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again).” Martini says he was present when Robinson. He says Robinson “didn’t consider herself a great soloist, but she was.”
