'I'm Back!' -- Fans have been waiting nearly 30 years for soul sensation Sly Stone to make such a proclamation and it finally happened today (July 4), with news of a comeback album of sorts: 'I'm Back! Family & Friends,' due out August 16.

Though Cleopatra Records signed the musical icon several years ago, nothing has come of that deal until now (we can't help but wonder if Stone's shady personal life is to blame). According to Exclaim, the forthcoming album reportedly features the Family Stone (who parted ways with their funky leader back in the '70s) and marks Stone's first output since 1982's 'Ain't But the One Way.'
