Cynthia Robinson (born January 12, 1946 in Sacramento, California) is an African-American musician, best known for being the trumpeter in the popular and influential psychedelic soul/funk band Sly & the Family Stone. Robinson is notable for being one of the first (both) black and female trumpet player in a major American band, and also for being the only member of the original Family Stone clan to continue working with Sly Stone after the band fell apart in 1975.
She is the mother of two daughters: Laura Marie (a spoken word artist whose mic tag is 'immoBme') and Sylvette Phunne (rapper and songstress known as 'Raw Syl'). Sylvyette Phunne is the second of three children fathered by Sly Stone.
In 2006, Cynthia reunited with the original Family Stone.
