    Absolutely. Wasn't she playing with the Family Stone just this year?
    She'd a great stage presence, played a mean trumpet and was the member behind the shout-outs and ad libs in Sly's group.

    She was a big part of a "sound revolution". I loved her work with the Family Stone. Farewell Cynthia, rest in peace and thank you lady.

    I was very upset when I heard the news this Tuesday morning. Found this link earlier yesterday as well. http://www.thedailybeast.com/.../farewell-cynthia... I'm so glad I got to meet her last year after a Family Stone concert. She was very nice and she's very fan friendly. I put the below message on another page that was celebrating her.

    I was stunned and saddened to learn of the death of Sly and the Family Stone co-founding member Cynthia Robinson this past Monday at age 69. The cause of death was cancer. She co-founded the group with Sylvester Stewart [[Sly Stone) in 1967. Cynthia was the first African-American and female trumpeter in a majorAmerican band, and the first such player in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Some of the groups signature classic hits include “Dance to the Music”, “Sing a Simple Song”, “Hot Fun in the Summertime”, “Everyday People”, “Stand!”, and “I Want to Take You Higher.” Rest in Peace Cynthia.

    Wow! How sad this is; and how nice of a band member to let her stay at their home while they nursed her!!

    I didn't know Cynthia and Sly had a daughter together until this week after all these years.
    Anyway, along with all of her work in The Family Stone us funkaholics really got a kick
    outta her playing on Funkadelic's Electric Spanking Of War Babies release. Of course Sly
    was there too. She kills it on the tracks Funk Gets Stonger part 1 & 2. RIP, Cynthia..
