Sylvester James, Jr. better known as Sylvester, was an American disco and soul singer-songwriter. Known for his flamboyant and androgynous appearance, he was often described as a drag queen, although he repeatedly rejected such a description. Responsible for a string of hit singles in the late 1970s, Sylvester became known in the United States under the moniker of the "Queen of Disco."
"I've been waiting for you Billy Ray!"
Get your clothes back on! Get the hell outta here...
😂😂😂
Have you people ever heard of coasters?
Who put they Kools out in my carpet!!???
That’s a Persian rug, it’s from Persia!
Heard this in Argylle and it really stuck out. Very catchy!!! 🌟
It’s such a entertaining movie from start to finish. Haven’t had that much fun watching a movie in theaters in several months.
Yep. I saw the movie today. This song is played for about 5 minutes which rarely happens as they usually play a minute or two. This song ships me back to the 80's in Toronto Canada which they dj played frequently in clubs.
Saw Argylle and this song came on and my mind went right to “I’ve been waiting for you, Billy Ray” lol
I think they also used it in Trading Places
It was awful!@@user-cr8dq7sc6h
WHO'S BEEN PUTTING THEIR KOOLS OUT ON MY FLOOR?!!
No lie Pose is what brought me here
Trading Places is a classic
'to my bedroom?'
Greatest movie ever.
Ever heard of coasters?
I DANCED THIS SONG IN SAN FRANCISCO TO DEATH. GREAT TUNE AND IM STILL DANCING TO THIS TODAY AT 75 YEARS OLD, UNBELIEVABLE!
Disco dancing brought me here....❤️
I agree that was a great time I did the same thing every single night disco Club in Croatia beautiful island OPATIJA 🙌🌴viva 80s✊
thank God you're still alive !!
DAMN, you OLD old!!!
Get it!!! Keep on dancing!!!
I heard this while watching "Argylle" and I also remember it from "Trading Places" in the party scene at Eddie Murphy's house. What a fantastic groove! - I wish clubs would play this again!
"It was a stone groove my maan! You are the most righteous..."
Yes Trading Places
I don’t know why Argylle is a critically panned movie. I thought it was a fabulous movie
Who’s been putting Kool’s out on my damn floor!?!?!?
Recall hearing it when watching the film Trading Places - class song for a classic film 😊💯
They ACTUALLY played this at my local Wal-Mart! The young ones were saying: "WTF?" Us old folks were tearing up those aisles up!
They should know the history of the electronic music they listened now. I'm 24, I'm music minded. 😁
I wanna move to your hometown!
That’s the greatest story I’ve ever heard!!!!
I would be too this brings back memories!! Or what I'm able to remember lots of it's blurred for obvious reasons;!!
@@thaddeusjameson1119 I still can't remember where I parked my car Saturday night in the 1970s I just gave up and bought a new one.
I first heard this song when I was a boy watching Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. 😂 Over 30 yrs later, still rockin to this song!!
Same here childhood memories of the 80s. 🎉
Я тоже!!!!
YEAH!
Yep
me too
"It was a stone groove my man! You are the most righteous..."
"Yeah right, just get the fuck out!"
Billy Ray 🎉
We're waiting for you..
Who has been putting out their Kools on my floor?!?!
😂😂😂 classic moment.
“ yo cous if your gonna vomit the bathroom is downstairs …… no downstairs man “
My daughter asked for my playlist for her wedding. This was my only request. The dance floor was lit when it came on.
oh but i would rather hear some Justin Biber,,,,,,, Said no one ever😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a 'somewhat' similar experience. Was at a place with scantilous ladies dancing. The song that was playing .. basically sucked.. the girls were not into dancing, the clientele was like whatever.. I go to the DJ and ask to play this song. NO JOKE. as soon as it came on.. everyone, literally, everyone, was dancing. I think we played it like 5 times. Had a blast 🎉
me too lol bless u all
My very first dance song I loved it
Uncle Dave dancing to 'do you wanna funk'....awesome!
Why this never made the top 40 is beyond me. It’s a disco classic.
It did make the top 40 on radio station wbls kiss FM and ktu in New york
Correct -- big HUGE " DUH"
...of course it made top 40 , it was top ten you dummy early 80's!
(it even made its mark in a classic movie Trading places)
@@luciedescoteaux944 I just checked billboard and do you wanna funk never hit the top 40.
@@scottlevin3966 im sorry but your sources are not good . Master Blaster , Forget me not , you dropped a bomb on me , Stomp , Love train and Do you wanna funk are amongs the top ten in 80's best disco song and most played in clubs . please find credible internet sources , many internet sources are not credible or right ...sorry about calling you idiot but this song was top 5 when it came out and played in clubs , it was so succesfull at the time that they used it in Trading places for that reason ;-)
When this song still hits you nearly 40 years later you know its good.
I just missed the disco thang but you can't deny that this is a phat tune. I can't believe it didn't hit the top 40!
Youngblood, I'm 54 this is fire...
Exactly!
how can someone NOT want to get up and start dancing to this?
Exactly ! I can hardly contain myself -
Wow, you got that right!!!
My wife plays this when I’m in a bad mood. I can’t not dance, doesn’t matter how angry I am.
If they're in a wheelchair
I totally agree with you
I'm usually a hard rock guy but when I heard this song on Trading Places it made me feel good and now I listen to all different types of music. Thanks Sylvester. R.I.P.
This is awesome! I’m the opposite, I’ve been listening to Rnb and soul all my life and getting introduced over the years to other types of great music! I hope you have a great rest of the year, and keep exploring great genres of music! ❤️
the same..I appreciate Eddie Murphy and his stereo in Trading Places
That's right....this is "feel good" celebrate life and self kinda music.... Can't help but catch the spirit!!! 💞
Thank you studio 54 Sirius channel for playing this
Ha! That's exactly where i shazamed it! Re-watched the movie a few days back. Underrated song in a cult-classic movie. Had forgotten how many titties were shown in it though ;) Now i remember why I was watching the movie on loop as a kid. Aaah the lawlessness of the 80's...
Them dang synths back in the day!! Patrick was such an icon and the same goes for Sylvester. Mad respect to these legends. Gone but never forgotten.
😢😢😢
The right combination of Sylvester voice and Cowley synthesizers, may they both rest in peace.
I wish they didn't die so young
💖💖
❤❤❤❤
Cowley was an amazing producer. He deserves more recognition.
Patrick Cowley was a musical genius
Yes!
One of the creators of High NRG Music
As an amateur DJ, I can tell ya, this song along with Donna Summer I feel love and other 70s disco, really gets people on their feet dancing.
Exactly the tune to go with this is Donna summer I feel love. I immediately played I feel love after this when I found it.. After watching trading places.
Heard it in Trading Places as a kid. Fell in love with it. Still in love with it today. RIP Sylvester and Patrick Cowley 😢
Pork bellies!
@@jackietreehorn5561 orange juice
RIP Sylvester and thank you Music wouldn't be the same without you
@@Travis_22 you was in the tank last night bragging on yo limousine! Lol
@@jackietreehorn5561 YEAH
Sylvester was a real disco queen. His spirit will live for generations to come!
You mean his/her
@@eldridgedyson696 Yes I know.. I wrote her because I think he is the real Disco Diva
“Her“ 🤣
He/his.
Tessa didn’t stutter y’all, and she got it correct.
I cant imagine being in a club when this came on! I would have went OFF!😆😁😁
I did.....twice!
I clubbed in the early 90s theyd play this alot. Being at a rave on X and having French Kiss by Lil Louis come on was a whole different surreal experience
It was nirvana
Merci Argylle pour la découverte !
This is 10x better than ANYTHING I've heard in the past 20 years.
So happy I stumbled across it today.
You make me feel mighty real is another good song by him!
I agree
Definitely the best...doesn't compare with anything that's coming out today.
Here from the movie Agent Argyle. This song is phenomenal! It plays during a fighting scene on a train at the beginning of the movie and it gave me goosebumps to hear it because up until that point, I didn't know the song but it sounded absolutely amazing and I had to look for it. Thanks for the upload!
Simply timeless....one of the greatest Dancefloor-Gigs...RIP Sylvester and Patrick Cowley...gone too soon!!!
"Should I prepare some more hors d'oeuvres for the guests, sir?"
"Man, fuck them."
Erik Destler "everybody! Get the fuck out."
If you were ever lucky to see him live ... he was really a powerhouse . I saw him at Haymarket in the late 70's . What a night ! we went back stage to his dressing room to say hello . He was very gracious
+Mark Boston Yeah, true. i saw him early 80's in a Dutch discotheque called Marathon in The Hague. His hair was in the style of the pic above... it was great to hear him live... the only other time i was blown away like that was by Donna Summer... ;-)
+Mark Boston I saw him live at the METRO in boston in 1982. There was so much coke going around that nobody but nobody sat for even one second…non stop on the dance floor- lines went around there as well. I'm light years away from that behavior now but hey we like to visit very now and then on youtube
+Mark Boston ...the paradise garage...nuff said.
+Mark Boston i was in boston then- lucky you=== amazing performer
+REBELLIONETT LMFAO!!!!!
No matter what anyone tells you this is the song that rocked 54 like no other
Who's vibing to this in 2024 and beyond?? 😁🕺💃
Me
@@tiaralynn2203 moi aussi

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His music will never, never die.
"It was a STONE GROOVE mah man!"
LOOOOL ;)
yasssss!!!! one cannot help but to quote Trading Places
you are the most righteous-yea yea just get the fuck outta here
YEAH!
"Get...the fuck...out!!!!" followed by a bemused look by Coleman
Another stand out is this song's producer, Patrick Cowley. He was only 32 when he died of AIDS in 1982. A trail blazer.
I’m a millennial and I’m telling you that this song still hits. SG Lewis (a very well known modern DJ) played this song live and the crowd got wild (in more ways than one) 😮💨.
that synth bass is on point
“Been waiting for you Billy-Ray!”
@Rianna Ricco Put your clothes on and get out of here
@@badash786 I was just about to put that reply in and you beat me to it 🤣
Every time! 😂
⁰
I HOLLERED!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CONGRATS JIMBOOO
You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) and Do You Wanna Funk are some of the greatest disco songs of all time.
Jimmy and Alison....oh my goodness
"It ain't cool being no jive turkey so close to Thanksgiving."
Love Trading Places and this song!
"YEAH" lol..."YOU WAS IN THE TANK LAST NIGHT, BRAGGIN' ABOUT YOUR NEW LIMOUSINE"........."YEAH"
YEAH!
You the one i was gonna call
Didn't I tell you the phone in the limo is busted?
The line!!
Arguably the greatest dance track ever!
Nothing can beat the 80s, man.
70s called... music is better..
@@covert0overt_810 Nah if anything they are both equally good for different reasons
One is certainly not better than the other and they both blow away the nineties and post nineties any day.
Man just heard this on trading places, and now I want it on my Playlist cause this beat is awesome; the voices synthesizer + the echoes, Sylvester rocked+shocked the house disco style second to none RIP, P. CAWLEY, + SYLVESTER!!!!!!
70’s
How can 96 people not like this song? I get if you don't like disco, but a good groove is a good groove!
Andrew Fernandez I'm from chi town, who wants some??? fuck us no fuck you💯😎
You got that right. It's a great groove to dance to.
powerhouse disco, one of the best 'get up and shake it' songs out there
Andrew Fernandez this rola ( song ) its so ver y great ! (Muy chingona ) México city
How can anybody not understand different people have different tastes??? Pendejo idioto.
He was him self
Didn't care
he did his thing
r.I.p.. Sylvester
Clifford Reaux yeah Sylvester was the shit...oh he also was a man of faith so you smart ASSES who think he was singing do ya wanna FUCK...he most likely didn't talk like that and sure didn't sing like that. from all accounts he was good manners and gracious to all he met. wish I'd of met him. RIP sylvester. THANX AND HAVE A GREAT week.
yeah....just a guy (?) who wanted to ...funk wit'me !
+ernestine maloy - I knew Sylvester..and YES..he meant FUCK. You can still believe in god all you want and STILL want to fuck someone in bed and be proud of your sexuality. In today's world..Sylvester would have probably called himself Transgender..because he was all woman from head to toe. But back in his time..he did the best he could..until that terrible virus killed him. So don't put words in my sisters mouth. Don't act stupid. He was singing about fucking and anyone with a god damn brain knows it. Rest in peace my sister..rest in peace.
Died because of sida...
@@grousicale5614 what's that ??
I experienced Sylvester live at the famous I-Beam in San Francisco in the early 80s ! The dance scene was off the charts !
Another I-Beam attendee! I was there from 80-84 almost every Saturday
the man is a legend.rip sylvester
Absolute disco classic! Great synths!
Jimbo!!❤
His voice was so soulful and gospel
This song still go hard.
Timeless!!!!
I wonder if there's any artist today, man or woman, capable of pulling a Sylvester cover. Not only his voice, but his stage presence, his energy.
Chapelle during the Chappelle Show days..
Just a Random Dude , there’s a dude named Kenny Bobien. Check him out if you’re into house music
My mum must have been a disco queen 👑 I grew up to this music and this song is my go to song for when I want to just unleash, amazing Sylvester!!
You have a cool mom
I thought I was when dancing to this 😂😂😂
Loved this song ever since I heard it during ng the house party scene in Trading Places.
when he screams it always sends chills down my spine!so much raw energy!
Looking good Billy Ray. FEELING GOOD LEWIS! !
yeh
Come on all stars
This song been used in the film trading places just proves what a classic this song is and will be forever. Kids today will one day ask there grandpa and grandma do you remember this and both granny and grandad will begin dancing like the good old days back in the day when music was real
Sadly those days are gone. Nothing being made today can compare
Do you wanna funk with me!!!!
WHO BEEN PUTTING THEIR KOOL OUT ON MY FLOOR!!???
I heard this song in the movie Argylle but all I could think of was Eddie Murphy yelling this at his guests.
Watching 'it's a sin'.....Love this song, not heard it for about 25 years! Still remember all the words! Yeyyyyyyy!
I was a young amateur dj in the early 80's. What a blast on the dancefloor when that song came out. It didn't take 3 sec. from the start to get a full dancefloor. The same was with Ronny Griffith - The best part of breakin'up. I realize today how my teenage in the 80's was blessed !
My brother introduced me to this song when I was 15, I'm 35 now going through Ibogaine treatment for Heroin detox, this sounds amazing helping me all the way! Rip My Brother Kevin and Sylvester
Him and Donna Summer are the King and Queen of Disco
wouldn't it be queen and queen lol
@@cerisejones8061 one is the queen one is the high priestess of disco
The Beegee's
Are the Kings Of Disco

One of the best disco tunes ever.
I AM A OLD FAHSION STRAIGHT MALE,...AND I LOVE THIS SO HUMAN QUEER!!!,...BECAUSE HE-SHE IS MORE HUMAN THAN SO MANY MTF.ALL OVER THE PLACE........I WISH THERE WHERE MANY MORE REAL GOOD HUMANS LIKE YOU.
JIMBO!!!! ♥
I chose this to Karaoke tonight at DBar in Dorchester, Ma. The joint was jumpin' for my birthday!¡!
You go girl! I'll make a toast for that decision....
I got my chain stolen with a knife to my throat in Dorchester 1991

I would have smashed...im just saying!!
Dropped here due to Trading Places(1983) ....great movie with top casting ❤❤
I can't understand why i discovered this only today but better late than never.
( 1984 but i like some of 70' and many 80' music . Radio80 is one of the few best radio that we have here in italy )
Love Sylvester... he can make any bad day a party!
1982 Parliament House in Orlando...!!
I was 20 yrs old dancing my arsh off to this amazing disco great....Where have all the great gay bars gone?
One of the VERY BEST of ALL TIME !!
Love this jam! Love Slyvester and Patrick! RIP legends!
Patrick?Patrick Hernandez too
Now THIS is a finale lipsync song!
Yes!
This was a classic and it got a reboot in Argylle film, great use of good music
“Who’s putting their cool’s out on my floor” 😂 😂 😂
Sylvester''s range is amazing
Forgot how classic this song was and still is!
This is one of my "HAVE to dance to" songs. Awesome and timeless.
My favorite scene in Trading places, This song is still iconic
JIMBO's winning song!!!! JULY 2023
Another camp song.

One thing I love ❤ about him he never cared what anybody says or thinks he was always himself and didn't care.he is a great inspiration to us all,I love people thats confident and real and fun.its rare but real people exist I live this song.
Billy Ray partying in Louis house 😂 Trading Places 😜
THE KING OF DISCO...!!!!!!
THE QUEEN!
Wow! A great HI-NRG classic, with a superb vocal from the late, great Sylvester, and a killer synth solo! I did not know this brilliant track, but no wonder it was a smash hit, and it should've been a No.1 here in the UK!! 👌🎤🎵🎶
woahhh... heard this for the first time on the radio yesterday - what stone cold classic tune, it's impossible not to dance!
Go to any disco back in the early eighties, dim lights, strobing, and this was a great tune to funk.
Best DISCO song EVER...Najbolja Disco stvar ikada ..Sylvester forever....
Who's been putting Kool's out on my floor?!?!?!?!
LOL!!
"It was a STONED GROOVE mah man, U Are the Most righteous...."
"Yeah yeah get the fuck out"
Alfredo Papadakis first thing I thought too LOL!!!!
classic
+Alfredo Papadakis And be quiet. MY NEIGHBORS WORK TOO, YOU KNOW!?
Hard to beat this level of funk!!!
Con este pedazo de tema se levanta Tutankamon a bailar !!!
Gracias por vivir esa época por favor!!!!!!!
I’d like to let it be known I knew about this wayyyy before Argylle. GTA EFLC introduced me to Sylvester and Patrick Cowley I had to be 18 but by 19/20 when I started college I dived deeper into house music and Sylvester specifically. Miss my early 20s
Brings back good memories!
so far ahead of his time. We remember Sylvester.
