- Sylvester was amazing to work with ...really talented, a pro in every sense of the word! Wow....As Cherrill says "In time they will be regarded as nostalgic reflections of the disco era" ...and as we now know they are!

Grace Jones and Sylvester are not "nostalgic reflections" anymore. THEY ARE LEGENDS AND PIONEERS!
You are absolutely 100% correct!! 👍
No lies told here!
Mkultra víctims too, from music industry....
do not you get a feeling of nostalgia when you reflect on the music of Sylvester and Grace Jones?
Yes u said it
Over 40 years later, his music still makes me feel great . Disco at it's best. RIP One of the best!
Jackie Jones hi Jackie... yes the sound is timeless and classic!
Sylvester died way too young . Talent never dies he lives through his fantastic music. RIP.
As long as we remember him he lives on❤️
I discovered Sylvester james watching unsung, which is one of the best episodes...I love his voice. This performance says it all..
Yesss😢😢😢😢
Ladies and Gentlemen , welcome to Analog. That was live vocals without any falsetto or cracks in the delivery. No auto tune. Perfection.
No falsetto in disco. That’s for sure.
his is singing in falsetto a technique this used today.. he had a fantastic voice and technique.if you had a lousy voice you couldn't have a carer during analog, no digital auto-tune to correct your pitch..Thanks to auto=tunes there ar people who couldn't carry a tune in a gallon bucket have careers; all packaging no content, I won't name names,,
@@deborahlpollitt9463 go ahead name names 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
The weather girls as backup. They all had great voices. Sylvester was a great talent.
The first time I heard Sylvester, I was literally floored! What a voice, and then I was fortunate enough to see him live. No auto tune, nothing fake about his performance, just pure voice.
I saw Sylvester twice….once when he performed on a float at the Pride Parade and the second time at the Castro Street Fair where the crowd chanted his name until he came to his apartment window when he lived above the Gilded Age antique shop….that was his last public appearance until he passed away…..REST IN PEACE DEAR HEART & THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !
Thank you so much for sharing !
Sylvester-so beautiful and so talented! As are Martha and Azora. May Sylvester and Azora rest in peace and Martha live a long life! ❤
They could all sang, OMG! They could sing anybody under the table! The harmonies, especially at the end!
All 3 of them incredible talents.. Sylvester.. WAY AHEAD OF YOUR TIME.. wow !!!!! Timeless
Sylvester deserves a biopic. What an enormous talent. Beautiful in every way ❤
The Show Unsung has a great documentary on him.
@@ginohernandez3770 Yes, I've seen it. Was great, but I'd love to see a motion picture about his life. That would be epic 😉
Mega talented
RIP Sylvester
Who’s the male tv presenter
I can see Ryan Murphy producing and directing it
He had one of the most powerful falsettos you ever heard.So talented.RIP, Sylvester.
He looks so handsome. God rest his soul
Straight guy who grew up in the 70's. Loved Sylvester, thought his voice was great. Miss the guy, always will. Great performer.
Right...😒
Blessed to see the Amazing SYLVESTER in Denver at a club called Tracks and again in Philadelphia at the Bourse Building........Awesome Performer! Sending Love up to SYLVESTER. June 2019 YOU MADE ME FEEl..MIGHTY REAL.
I miss him too😥
I appreciate you being straight and giving accolades to Sylvester
I grew up with moms listening to him. Still remember his music though i thought it was all women
When I lived in San Francisco in the ‘70s, Sylvester was my across-the-street neighbor. Some mornings he would come out onto his balcony and sing, just to wake up the neighborhood. You go, girl!
I love that!!!❤️
Those people in the audience are so lucky. Imagine being able to say you saw this.
So jealous!
SYLVESTER.
NUMBER ONE.
ONDA DISCO.
CLASSIC FOREVER.
GREAT VOICE.
Sylvester and 2 Tons of Fun had great harmony and powerful vocals.
Yesss they did ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Sylvester so much I was born in 82 my mama said i use to move in my pamper to his songs😂😂
I love Sylvester & The weather girls. ❤
and Gino
So that is the Weather Girls? :))
Little Tut that’s The Weather Girls. They got their start as backup singers for Sylvester they were known as Two Tons of Fun.
Great that this wasn't a prerecorded performance...he sang it live!!!!!!!!!
My Era !!! Saw this amazing man once in person and from that moment to NOW.....there is absolutely NOBODY that can touch him! May he rest in peace! I know my dear son is dancing up a storm in Heaven with Sylvester! Rest in peace my son!!
Ohhh... that's a lovely comment, but sad on the end... I hope you see your boy someday again, dear Linda 💋🤗🤗🤗
With love, Viktor 🖤💜🖤❤🖤💜🖤
I never knew that "Two Tons of Fun" ,who later became "The Weather Girls " were backup singers for Sylvester ! Thanks for the video.
Disco church gospel music all in one
He was the real deal
Mega talent
He had so much energy! I loved his music! What a legend!
Being straight should not make us blind to this beautiful talent.never ever😗
I am in tears I wish this wasn't the years that I was a toddler and I could actually enjoy this the way that I do right now...
Those three voices! Wow! They were a heck of a group. I bet they were fun to watch in person.
They were Incredible!
Sylvester was one of the best in the disco dance. So much energy
They Can SING. Even as a Youth, I was Intrigued with Sylvester. Ironic if he still lived Now, He'd Probably be Worth a Half a Billion, the Way he Kicked open Doors where Artists can Express themselves regardless of Gender. Pioneers.
What a talent! He is sorely missed.
Wow! This group brought Gospel to the Disco. Loving it immensely, always have.
Sylvester got his roots in the Church
This is so churchified just pure realness
Amen
I'm straight as an arrow, but God damn Sylvester killed this! Wonderful talent! And music doesn't discriminate! Great music is great music, period!
Well said!!😊
Damn right.Great talent knows no race, gender or sexual orientation.
Yes he did and I love it ❤❤❤❤
I just love Sylvester! He was before his time.
Amen!
Way before his time!! All of them!! Love love them!! Magnificent!!!
What a performance and it shows that music was REAL long time ago and really made you feel something.
Two tons of fun with that POWERFUL voice!
He was everything Sylvester was ahead of his time. Such a talented and courageous man , I pray that he rests in peace.🖤🖤🌈🙏
Note that they are singing LIVE. That is a testament and mark of a true singer.
I saw Sylvester perform at a club in Dallas in 1984, he was really something.
Simon 5005,Blessed to see the Amazing SYLVESTER in Denver at a club called Tracks and again in Philadelphia at the Bourse Building here in Philadelphia, Pa. He made me feel MIGHTY REAL! Rest in Peace SYLVESTER June 2019
Marvin Gaye loved Sylvester's music. And they shared the same producer Harvey Fuqua.
A lot of celebrities loved his music. He was one of Joan Rivers favorite singers
Didn’t know that!!!
Didn’t Sylvester sing background on “Who’s Zoomin Who” by Aretha Franklin?
@@tjbradford11 I would love to know and will have to look this up! I am sure the Queen loved him. She loved Donna Summer!
@@TheRmjr I looked it up and he is listed on background vocals. I love random info like this haha
This was all the way LIVE VOCALS - yass!!
RIP Sylvester greatly missed 🙏🙏🙏
He was one of the greatest performers of all time. I truly miss him, I grew up in the 80s on his music that my mom played and she loved him as well. I hope that he has found peace 🙏🏾
Wow this brings back memories of the good old days when I live in new jersey
I saw him perform at The Troc in San Francisco---AMAZING!
Mr. Sylvester James was truly one of a kind / One In A Million ... I saw him & his group LIVE in the late 1970's- what a fricking amazing show : Two Tons o'Fun , the band ( with if I recall correctly the incomparable Patrick Cowley on keyboards plus at least 6 other musicians. With real Dry Ice disco fog... They tore it up !!!
Amen! that fog, like I'd died and gone to dance heaven
I love this look the best. Exquisite! I wish I had seen him live in concert. He passed away too young...:-(
I like the way the intro pays respect to the iconic artists of the 50's and affords Disco artists the same importance and respect by comparing them and taking them equally seriously - that is something that very, very rarely happened! Disco rarely comes across well on TV - you need the volume and atmosphere to bring out the real dynamism of it's natural setting - the club. This trio were incredible live. I saw them onstage in concert in London 1979 and the version they did of Dance (Disco Heat) with the extended vocal interplay on the breakdown parts was a life changer for me, a spiritual experience. Where is the show actually from? The ladies are wearing the outfits they wear on their own Two Tons O' Fun album.
The way that you described the music and all of the nuances…beautiful!
We miss you Syvester...what a talented artist!!!
"You have Sylvester!..
You dont need me."
( David Bowie)
Poise, icon and trendsetter at its best in 1970’s. Love and RIH Sylvester. You see how amazing and gorgeous he is?
OMgosh! I've never seen this video before....
Brilliant man... brilliant ladies... thanks for posting.

At least all three could sing. Respect.☺️
Cant believe I have never seen this before ......Martha Sent me 2 Autographed Pics . Sylvester is my HERO................!!
I love the smooth transition between "Dance Disco Heat" & "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real"!!!
Yes that was so smooth...like butter going on hot bread!
I❤all their voices .. perfect match🎶🎤. Sylvester was beautiful he look just like his mom
Esto si es música no la porquería que tocan hoy en día y el próximo año nadie se acordará ....que tiempos aquellos que por lo visto no volverán :( ...... que voces impresionante :)
Two tons of fun, Three tons of talent
Watched every week. Loved the Raes. Saw them in Toronto airport back in early 80’s. I was freaking out. I wanted an autograph on my ticket. My sister physically stopped me from walking over. Saying you’ll embarrass yourself. I regret to this day… not ignoring her advice!!! LOL Que sa ra sa ra!!!
Wow what a beautiful voice
Blessed to see the Amazing SYLVESTER in Denver at a club called Tracks and again in Philadelphia at the Bourse Building here in Philadelphia, Pa. He made me feel MIGHTY REAL! Rest in Peace SYLVESTER June 2019 PHENOMENAL!

I will never stop missing Sylvester. He was a music genius. I kept playing the end over and over just so I could see how happy he was. Just imagine if he was on the music scene now. He'd clean up.
I miss Sylvester he was so entertaining. He made me want to always be myself. He had no fear I always loved that about him.
Sing it girl! Miss you much. Love from down this road long after where you and so many others turned off and departed way too soon.
Yesss!! Sylvester and them did this. What a classic!
gino soccio
straight guy but loved and respected sylvester
A gorgeous man. Miss you.
Omg I’m holding my chihuahua dancing to this song lol
What a strange caveat!
Wonderful to see these 3 singers LIVE!
My god what a fantastic LIVE performance! With what appears to be a live instrument special medley! Incredible! The audience should of been clapping on the open hihats because Disco Heat is practically a Disco GOSPEL song! What a performer, I love the grooving Sylvester does, and how he approaches the microphone, MORE Sylvester!
SYLVESTER LEGEND!!! DANCE IN THE DISCO HEAT, Always singing live.... They Kick us ass baby!!!
Sylvester was amazing and two tons of fun beautiful voices for all three of them just absolutely love them
