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