Today is The Fabulous Sylvester's Birthday


He is truly is a legend in the Black and Gay world. He was out, proud and inspiring.

What he started can never be copied and he will forever live as a Disco pioneer.

Sylvester, we love you and miss you.

Here are some of his videos

Do You Want to Funk


Disco Heat


Can't Stop Dancing


I Who Have Nothing


And of course... You Make me Feel Mighty Real

I LOOOOVE Sylvester! Oh my god! I have all his CD's!
He was a true pioneer for real! Way ahead of his time!

And I was just running to his later hit, "Someone Like You" just the other day.

Thanx for reminding me of this day. There will never be another Sylvester.

I was bopping my head to Disco Heat just the other day. Honey, he and Grace Jones served fierce androgyny back in the day.

He was awesome - i remember seeing the video for ...You make me Feel - and fell in love with the song! I also at that time had an idea he was gay, but was not 100% sure what that meant - either way he is an icon.

I also did a post on the Top 10 Gay Anthem of all time and Sylvester topped my countdown - so awesome!

I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here
