There was a song on A&M Records called "Life & Death In G & A." I Believe it was also produced by Sylvester Stewart. Can anyone tell me if this was Sly & The Family???

It wasn't. Abaco Dream was a five piece NY based outfit. Sly Stone both wrote and produced their single.

Joe Hicks also put out a single on Stone Flower Records with the same title.

It's the same song - there's also a great version by the Chairmen of the Board on their "The Skin
I'm In" album , produced by Jeffrey Bowen with a band made up of Funkadelic alumni.

True...Joe Hicks put out his version of the song.

That Bowen is a slick genius...Forever the "P"..

I have heard a lot of great things about him but this just really adds on to it!!
