Abaco Dream is none other than a one off side release from Sly & The Family Stone; in 1970, Sly was on top of the world, enjoying hit after hit. However, as we know all too well, things began crumbling as drug abuse led to paranoia and unpredictability for this musical genius.
This track, if released under the Sly name, probably would have been one of those Sly hits that would be filed alongside all of the other great jams that I (and I could probably add a collective "we" for those of you reading) never tire of.
However, the record sunk without much of a trace, making for the end of the Abaco Dream.
from 1970...

It actually did pretty well in NY, getting as high (no pun intended...) as #18 on WMCA radio and charting on thier list for several weeks.
