Sly & The Family Stone _could_ reunite, but because of Sly’s many problems, the best one could hope for is a Family Stone reunion. A couple years ago, everybody except for Sly and Larry Graham did come together to record some stuff. ---

All five of the Dave Clark Five are still alive, although Mike Smith no longer performs since he was partially paralyzed in an accident. ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Buffalo Springfield is out, then: Bruce Palmer is deceased. Oh, that’s sad. Out here in the boonies you don’t hear these things. What a shame. What a rotten shame. mm ---

How about **The Guess Who**? I know Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings are still with us. How about the rest? ---

> [@want2know](#): > > How about **The Guess Who**? I know Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings are still with us. How about the rest? Yeah, I think all the originals are still around. Kurt Winter, who replaced Randy Bachman, has snuffed it, though. ---

I think all the original members of **Black Sabbath** and **Deep Purple** are all still alive, but, like the original Pink Floyd or Yes, I don’t think they ever will. In fact I was wondering what groups might be willing to reunite, what do you think? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/60s-rock-bands/302668.md?page=1)
