Vet Stone
Vet Stone (born Vaetta Stewart; May 2, 1950, Vallejo, California) is an American soul singer. She is the sister of Sly Stone, Rose Stone, and Freddie Stone. She was also a member of Little Sister.
Vaetta Stewart was born to parents K.C. and Alpha Stewart.
According to the book, Woodstock FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Fabled Garden by Thomas E. Harkins, she was born in Denton Texas, the youngest of the Stewart children, Loretta, Sylvester, Frederick and Rose. But as the book reads, the family moved to San Francisco in the 1940s. As she was born in 1950, her birthplace would be in California.
At the age of seventeen she suffered a serious illness which could have stopped her musical direction, but she quickly recovered.
She was the lead singer in the funk group Little Sister, which had a #8 R&B hit of its own in 1970 entitled "You're the One". She also sang background for Sly & the Family Stone.
In 1966, the group she was a member of, The Heavenly Tones recorded an album, I Love the Lord which was released on Gospel MG 3050. The group's lineup also included Tramaine Hawkins. Sly Stone got the group to tour with him but Hawkins declined as she wanted to finish school. The group then became Little Sister, which was made up of Vaetta Stewart, Mary McCreary, and Elva Mouton.
In 1970, Sly & the Family Stone were in England and played at the Isle of Wight Festival. Vet went on tour with the band as sister Rose didn't participate in the tour.
Vet played keyboards and contributed backing vocals to the Small Talk album that was released in 1974. At that time the band was made up of Sly Stone, Freddie Stone, Rose Stone Banks, herself, Rusty Allen, Jerry Martini, Pat Rizzo, Cynthia Robinson, Bill Lordan and Sid Page.
