Sly was born on March 15, 1943 which makes him 72 years of age. Some sources provide 1944 which is not correct.

In 1971 Dick Cavett asked Sly, “Misters, misters, (emphasis on S in misterS) what SHOULD I call you?” Sly replied, “Just misters, misters (just like Dick said it), I don’t care what you call me, it’s just for means of identification. “
