2:203:05 HISTORIC MOMENT Some of the few footage we can find of the legendary, immortal PATRICK COWLEY LIVE. if you don't know about Patrick you better start listening to his music and productions. PATRICK COWLEY THE AHEAD OF TIME KING OF SYNTHS
There was an off Broadway show about Sylvester that was really good. They wanted to get it actually on Broadway, but I don't think the funding was available for it. I went to see it it and it was devine. It may be on UA-cam.
Gracias por compartir este video, nunca lo había visto... Se decía que Patrick Cowley solo se había visto en otro video y que no existía un segundo video donde apareciera, aquí se ve que eso no era tan asi, ahí aparece el genio detrás de tan talentoso cantante. En los teclados Patrick Cowley, en el coro el dúo Two Tons of Fun liderado por la gran Martha Wash quien después se haría famosa con the weather Girls, C+C músic Factory, Black Box, Stevie Wonder, RuPaul entre varios más y delante haciendo gala de un registro inigualable, el que cantaba con falsete pero tenía voz de varitono... Sylvester James. Inolvidables talentos. Igualitos a Bad Bunny y Peso Pluma, igualitos 😅😅😅😅
.....his name....TIP WIRRICK....and he was the MUSICAL DIRECTOR for SYLVESTER....he is the one who came up with the music for this song....and SLY....wrote the words....and the rest is HISTORY....
This band is so good at reinterpret this electronic music. The horns make this version so dope Sylvester & 2 Tons of Fun turned in an excellent vocal enhancent. 🔥🔥
@@eaqua56 ...he always said he wanted two large women on each side of him so that he could look slimmer...MARTHA has always told the story of he was auditioning for background singers and he had just finished auditioning two skinny girls and he quickly sent them home so she could audition....and after she had BLOWN HIM AWAY....he asked her did SHE....know of ANOTHER BIG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN that could SING....and she said she had just the girl...and she called MARTHA....and the rest is HISTORY....the thing that always moved me greatly was HE said that he took ONE LOOK at MARTHA....and HE KNEW SHE COULD SING...
@@AnAdorableWombat1 What a load of bull shit. By the way, it's a myth that you can perform high. On the rare occasion that someone performs high the performance is poor or a catastrophe. Some may get high afterwards.
Been looking for this clip for the longest time it is straight up church with Izora and Martha just beautiful. Still looking for the Martha Wash unsung clips with her and Izora at the piano 🎹 singing 😊
My mom introduced me to this man when i was 13, maybe 14. I love this song, but could never find the slowed down ending version...until now. Thanks, UA-cam and thanks to the person who posted this.
The breakdown at the end, awesome. Don't forget folks, those are the Weather Girls. And, if you remember C and C Music Factory, Gonna Make You Sweat, that's Ms. Martha Wash.
Great to see Patrick Cowley on the synthesizer! Sad that he was not credited in any way on this release, though he had a lot of influence on the way this track turned out to be.
This is the first time I've seen this version, with the slow conclusion. Outstanding. The Hot Band was so great, but seeing this video makes me wonder: Are any of these original Hot Band members still alive in 2022, and if so, which ones?
.....that has ALWAYS been the IRONY of SYLVESTER...that all these 80s acts were rocking that GENDER FLUID LOOK and becoming HUGE STARS....and he was basically considered a ....DISCO....DANCE....CULT.....NOVELTY ACT....in an interview they threw all those people in his face....MICHAEL....BOY GEORGE....and PRINCE...he said he enjoyed them ALL...and he PARTICULARLY LOVED PRINCE....and said that PRINCE WAS....SINCERE....LOL....the most moving thing SYLVESTER said ...was that people were going to have to CATCH UP....WITH HIM....and it's true...RIP SYL....
Wow, this would have been such a hard song to pull off live and he and his band nailed it! AMAZING
My mom used to love this song😊 he was disco. An can sing on a dime live. And the weather girls were the perfect match of talent for him
Sylvester was WAY WAY ahead of his time...!!! Awesome talent and vibes. And a great human being.
Vocally, Sylvester had an incredible range.
That falsetto
4:18
Im 52 years old.
And ive never heard this version
Holy shit
I am 59 and I saw this when it came out. Don kursners Rock Concert TV show NBC late night late 70's
Fair play to that bass player for playing that line at that speed with what looks like two fingers!!
Right! Cuz this is break neck speed!! 😂
Classic from 1978-1979! ❤️🔥 Happy heavenly 77th birthday to Mr. Sylvester James...🙏🏿💜🕊️ 🎂 ♍
Often overlooked, Sylvester had one of the best falsettos EVER!
This man is a blessing from heaven. He has an amazing voice
Yes my musical influence, Sylvester is the truth for me

PATRICK COWLEY THE AHEAD OF TIME KING OF SYNTHS
10000000% positive energy ❤❤❤
2:15 Patrick Cowley on synth...........
We really need a film about his life, he was pioneering.
There was an off Broadway show about Sylvester that was really good. They wanted to get it actually on Broadway, but I don't think the funding was available for it. I went to see it it and it was devine. It may be on UA-cam.
we dont see something like this today ! is really astonishing
Gees, how gifted was he or what?! LOVE the ending!! Now I really feel reals!! YAY
Still missing you Sylvester!
3:05 the immortal PATRICK COWLEY, the Forever underrated genius of electronic music
Sylvester, an amazing singer, and to have back up choral is what he he as brought up with!
Sylvester was a great artist
Saw him in San Fran at a small disco in the early 80s. I wish I could remember that clubs name. It was packed, everyone vibin hard!
RIP Sylvester you will always be missed, and never forgotten 🙏

What a legend, a god of music😘
The bass man is going to have a hearth attack😮, waht a velocity!
The bassist go crazy!!
Ikr? 😅

It’s not very often that an artist sounds just as good live as they do on the recorded version.
Rest In Power
I love you Sylvester for ever and ever ❤
This band is so good at reinterpret this electronic music. The horns make this version so dope
Sylvester & 2 Tons of Fun turned in an excellent vocal enhancent. 🔥🔥
Sylvester's Higher Presence can be felt when you are flowing with his music. 🌌💜
Genius at work
Sing Slyvester!!!!
The best thing about Sylvester was He wanted Large back up singers! He knew from his Church Choir days that they are Great singers!
I don’t think their size has anything to do with it. They were talented singers
@@eaqua56 Syvester Demanded it, he wanted large back up singers. watch his Documentary..
@@eaqua56 ...he always said he wanted two large women on each side of him so that he could look slimmer...MARTHA has always told the story of he was auditioning for background singers and he had just finished auditioning two skinny girls and he quickly sent them home so she could audition....and after she had BLOWN HIM AWAY....he asked her did SHE....know of ANOTHER BIG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN that could SING....and she said she had just the girl...and she called MARTHA....and the rest is HISTORY....the thing that always moved me greatly was HE said that he took ONE LOOK at MARTHA....and HE KNEW SHE COULD SING...
@@eaqua56 Size absolutely has something to do with it. Look it up
@@belindamoloneyhence why all the big time opera singers are large
Love and still miss Sylvester
These singers today can't compare to the incomparable Sylvester.
@Kevin Harris Of course they can. Don't be ridiculous.
Solo el venezolano Jesús Enrique Divine,que está creo en Miami!
It’s WAY too fast. But he was an absolute legend. Rest In Peace dear heart ♥️
Right tempo on record, I agree! Great performance though! ❤
They are most likely on powder and need the upbeat tempo to match their mood
slow it down to 0.85x playback speed, in the settings

You can hear the slow version also on the LP
Your mum is a very very very amazing lady! ❤
In the living proof vinyl you can find the slowed down version!
1:10 THAT part.
This is fabulous!
Perfect word
Wow wow wow… 🔥🔥🔥🔥and from 4:19 absolutely blown away
There's a recorded version of the reprise, too. I love it!
Mighty Real and Dance Disco Heat are the truth. Sylvester and The Two Ton are flat foot sangin
Just AWESOME!
The breakdown at the end, awesome. Don't forget folks, those are the Weather Girls. And, if you remember C and C Music Factory, Gonna Make You Sweat, that's Ms. Martha Wash.

M A G I C A L
YESSS
His highest notes are reminiscent of Aretha in the 80s
This is the first time I've seen this version, with the slow conclusion. Outstanding. The Hot Band was so great, but seeing this video makes me wonder: Are any of these original Hot Band members still alive in 2022, and if so, which ones?
I think the Hot Band split in 1974.
.....the bass player in this video....Tip Wirrick....is still alive.....
Sylvester, forever! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
There harmony is so tight is Sylvester singing the alto part??
its a little lower than the studio track in parts I am almost sure or sung with a deeper tone. It doesn't sound as high.
That band dont know what the heck theyre doing. But Sylvester going with the flow workin' with it!
Yessss
Los mansos dancing con Sylvester
❤
🤩😍🥰
The lend singer is given me huge Moses Sumney vibes lol
Never heard this name before. About to Google
Go Patrick Crowley!!
Prince stole big time.
.....that has ALWAYS been the IRONY of SYLVESTER...that all these 80s acts were rocking that GENDER FLUID LOOK and becoming HUGE STARS....and he was basically considered a ....DISCO....DANCE....CULT.....NOVELTY ACT....in an interview they threw all those people in his face....MICHAEL....BOY GEORGE....and PRINCE...he said he enjoyed them ALL...and he PARTICULARLY LOVED PRINCE....and said that PRINCE WAS....SINCERE....LOL....the most moving thing SYLVESTER said ...was that people were going to have to CATCH UP....WITH HIM....and it's true...RIP SYL....

Im not even gay. And i love this song❤. It just sad that he passed away. RIP
He was Boy George before Boy George
Oh Puhlease....
@@toomuchinformation 😂🤣
Whys the tempo so fast
This is Disco. You had to be there I guess. Great memories. Rip Sylvester
Produced by Patrick Cowley a pioneer of electronic dance music. It's "hi_NRG" disco.
Live Band vs Studio Recorded i think.
Cocaine, baby. Try it and you'll see.
Thought he was a girl until he spoke
👍📺👀
