Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm Back

Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm Back is the eighth studio album by American funk-soul and rock band Sly and the Family Stone, released by Epic and CBS Records in 1976. This album is an effort to return the idea of the "Family Stone" band to singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone's work, after his previous album, High on You, was released without the Family Stone name. It also reflects the beginnings of change in the concept of "Sly and the Family Stone". The original Family Stone had broken up in 1975, and a new Family Stone was assembled for this album: the only holdover is stalwart Family Stone trumpet player Cynthia Robinson. Vet Stone and Elva Mouton, both formerly members of Family Stone backing band Little Sister, provide additional background vocals, and Johnny Colla, later a co-founder of Huey Lewis and the News, plays saxophone.
