- Here is a clip from the British Broad Cast called. "Queens Of Disco" which highlights a few of the Disco Queens careers from the 70's, I don't really know why Madonna made into to that show as she wasn't Disco. Never the less I took this video clip from that show because I know that there a few people out there who really like Sylvester.
So glad that his mother accepted him as he was later in life.
@James Gray what do you understand now?
Gone too soon. There's no telling all the wonderful music we could have had.
R.I.P. Queen... 💚
Sylvester was a powerful Intertainer, He make people feel so good inside , The voice was from heaven, He was a gift to the world, The greatest, The best, The Legend Sylvester 💐💐💐🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
This gives me LIFE! He didn't GAF!! He did what he wanted to do and had fun doing it! PERIOD!!!
Whenever “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real”, played at the clubs, we packed the dance floor. Still one of the best songs EVER!
EVERRRRRR!!!
Yes indeed
@@TP-xy2ms yes yes and yes. AWESOME INDEED!!
Yesss! Do you wanna funk!
The I beam club Sunday tea dance
Sylvester is a legend. As long as his music is played, he'll always be alive!
Music made by PATRICK COWLEY, not Sylvester ... he sang the music Patrick produced ... learn it ...
@@manuelfernandes8405girl shut up!! When one speaks of Sylvester we are speaking of his god-given talent The Voice ‼️ go have a seat!
I always thought a movie should be released theatrically about his life. He had this once in a lifetime talent that was very underrated. I am flabbergasted that he didn't make more of an impact on mainstream music. He was way ahead of his time. Rest in Peace, Sylvester.🙏🏾🌹❤👑🕊😇🎶🌞
Absolutely the truth, he was a true Diva and it was God who made the gift he had. Rest in peace precious child of God and rare songster of great Enlightenment.
Miss Lawrence could play him‼️
I was thinking the same thing Miss Lawrence is perfect for the role of Sylvester
He is so fierce and fashionable as well❤
Sylvester & Jermaine Stewart. Way ahead of their time.
They were beautiful talented trailblazers. Sad they are gone but boy did the shine.
I don't care who and what he was . I have deep respect for this person who made me fall in love with disco music. R.I.P. Sylvester.
The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in!
And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it.
Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He.
The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him.
God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue.
Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consumation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion.
Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world...
Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE!
We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ.
Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming
God Bless!
@rrr ccc ... indeed!
The error in this statement is that you SHOULD care about who and what he was. Although, I understand what you mean to say, the problem with humanity is that by saying you’re colorblind or a person’s sexuality doesn’t matter to you is that you, inadvertently, undervalue the wholeness of who that person is. You show you care by SEEING them, by considering all the things you profess not to want to see. It’s a paradox that we’re not especially aware of.
@rrr ccc ....😊
@@janepatton8100 Amen and Amen! Jesus is Lord!!!!!!!
I wish I had half the confidence that Sylvester did. He was a force to be reckoned with who left a tremendous mark in the world of music and in the hearts of many.
They need to give this queen more credit than he gets. Definitely paved the way for many many performers.
"Please. Don't sing that one!" LMAO 😂
He went out the way he lived his life...on his terms. Salute.
I always loved Sylvester. I actually loved that he was being himself. He didn’t hide anything thank you for the music.
He broke barriers and lived his life, unapologetically. He made me love disco even more and love him.
Before there was RuPaul or Elton John...R.I.P sunshine, just thinking of him. That fact that his back up singers stood by him in friendship and didn't exploit his memory says a lot of how today society has deteriorated
As a gay black man, I’m so proud to say that Sylvester IS my “gay” mother once & for all time. You may be gone, but not EVER forgotten.
Period!!!!!💯💯💯❤
Sylvester is THE absolute truth!!! He will forever be missed!!!
He was not only a gay icon in our community. But also a disco legend...!!!
Amen.
1 of the best Disco Queens
Miss Lawrence should play, because Lawrence can actually sing.
Liz Taylor
Miss Lawrence also resembles Sylvester a lot !!!!
Guss want to ride down to the Old Town road?
I remember hearing some of his music and only Sylvester could do it right and let nothing get in his way..We need more Sylvesters ...RIP Sylvester...
We ain't never gonna grow old. Rest in Peace and Love Sylvester.
*LEGENDS* never die - they go onto the great big Disco in the sky.
Rest in eternal LOVE Sylvester, you are STILL being missed + LOVED!
A young straight man who loved his music his energy and him.
Sylvester was a true Badass.
Sylvester Great talent and with a beautiful heart. His song, sweet and kind attitude broke racial barriers.
How lucky am I to become if age during the 70’s to witness the greatness of Sylvester. He was who he was, the 👑 of Disco/Funk/Gospel/Soul. May he rest in peace
Same face as his mother too !! Very touching , she was happy for him !
Sylvester opened so many doors for so many people I will always respect !!!!
He just lived his life and made great music. He is an icon.
An amazing icon lost, but not forgotten, to an insidious disease. Thank God for these amazing videos!
I liked him. I first heard “Do you wanna funk” at Oil Can Harry’s disco night on a Saturday in 1999. I was instantly a fan. Better late than never. I was born in 78. His voice was excellent. He had range. He had beautiful chocolate skin. He was androgynous and was truly good looking whether dressed as a man or woman. He still gets me dancing. Rest In Peace Sylvester. I miss your voice.
I will always love Sylvester he open the door for so many people
I grew up during his era and I remember the night's of getting ready to go out, getting pumped listening to Sylvester, Rufus and Chaka or some Average White Band.Great music during a great era!We love and miss you, you set the trail for the RuPauls and Boy Georges of the world!!!😘😘😘😘
As a self proclaimed 21 year old "Disco Queen" in 1978, you made us all feel MIGHTY REAL! Thank you so much for the music, the dancing, the joy and the memories!
Slyvester was definitely a trailblazer. I recall his confidence, seeing him on Soul Train, hearing that beautiful falsetto voice over the radio, and thinking then how he made it okay to be who you are. The makeup was always on point. Rest in eternal peace 🙏❣️
Sylvester was a one of a kind who can never be replicated. He was unique, and blessed with his own right to be who he wanted to be. May you rest, and see you when I get there! Chow!
Do you know the song playing at 3:23?
Sylvester is an legend. Come on people, we all love her songs.
My ass is still listening to his music and disco today and its 2019
2021 checking in
Im so grateful for Unsung. That’s when I was introduced to this sweet soul. He reminds me so much of my friend Tarryl. RIP to the both of you. Both gone too soon.
“Can’t forget the love” Sylvester
He. Is and always will be a superstar. What a deep respect and love for him. God bless
So glad to have met Sylvester and Two Tons O Funs in Buffalo, Ny. My cousins sponsored them, Atlantic Star and Kleeer, in concert. I was a teen. Thank You God for his spirit and awesome experience. Ill never forget the kindness, music n laughter that evening.
Before RuPaul there was Sylvester. Love 'em both.
Come on people
Who are u there different
@@clbwebb1961 He didn't say that they Weren't different; just that He came before, paved the way for, and heavily influenced RuPaul.
Xcuze Sylvester did both drag and singing. When he was with The Cockettes, everybody was in drag. Most tried to imitate Diana Ross and Billie Holliday
Are you kidding? You can’t even put Rhu Paul in the same unniverse with SYLVESTER!
I Loooooooooooooooooved Sylvester. He was so ahead of his time on all levels, including musically. You have touched so many of our hearts and souls and you are forever missed.
Martha Wash was a GREAT SINGER in the choir at Polytechnic High School in San Francisco where my dad was the principal.
2dasimmons you are so right !!
I have 3 of the 4 LPs this choir recorded. Do you have « We come to praise his name » album ?
Yes, she is!! That’s why Sylvester has her and Igor’s as his backup singers!
yep and she is still a great singer
She was the real voice on C&C Music Factory's 'Gonna Make You Sweat'.
WOW!
I danced with Sylvester at the HIPPO Disco in Baltimore back in the 70s. He was an original, one of a kind, and a very sweet man. May he rest in peace and sing with the angels.
If he knowing the way of the Lord and his lifestyle was against will of God he is not most likely RIP and not in peace for Is 57:21 says for the wicked there is no peace.
@@kbkcogic And now the Hippo is a CVS. ugh.
God is love and we are all created in his image
JP Monroe
angels ? what angels ?
lucifers ? ohhhhh that angel yeah with that one yeah he be singing and screaming its hot hot hot
@@kbkcogic, as a heterosexual man who doesn't judge the lifestyles of others, I'm always amazed that bible thumpers always seem to judge those different from them. How do YOU know where this man's fate after death? Aren't all sins equal? Aren't we ALL sinners until our last breath? Shouldn't you, and those who think like you worry about your own soul and how you live YOUR life?
his music still makes me want to dance 💃and im 60yr.old,every time i hear his music makes me feel good.⭐
Sylvester really paved the way for the LGBT community back then. The rights and privileges we have today are because of people like him!
Yes he did!!
No.... he paved the way for all people who overcame tragedy by using his God given talents and being a wonderful free spirit who lived life out loud. DO NOT make this tremendous life about pure sexuality he was love personified....because he was an inspiration to so so many people of many differrent races creeds colors lifestyles cultures and beliefs..touching each of us for so many different reasons. His music saved my life as a young girl... Sylvester was bigger than the box people tried to place him in. He was an Icon a humanitarian and a powerhouse entertainer who just happened to be gay... He changed the way we all saw the world. I smile everytime I think of him...He was beautiful
@@brelewill427 --He's burning in hell, unless he repented and was born again, Jesus told Nicodemus; ' Ye must be born again to enter heaven.'
@@marilynwillett804 Hell is not until judgement day and the saints will be judged first, so lets not be so quick to decide beforehand who is going where... The bible says search out your own soul salvation with fear and trembling and the fact that the preacher of the church who repeatedly raped him as a child went on to live without consequence sickens me, but even though Sylvester was rejected for his flamboyance and feminine ways which were obviously a side effect of the terrible sexual and physical trauma he suffered he became something amazing in spite of it all.... Even after being forced out of the church and his home town. No one ever confronted the predator who they knew stole his innocence and allowed this evil individual to remain in the church....SMH we could all see how a loving God would punish the grown ups not the victim for what happened... Sylvester showed strength and faith in life when he could have been bitter and rejected God. This shows great character..Sin is Sin. Gods grace is sufficient and it was obvious that he knew where to go for strength peace and forgiveness. Lets all try to carry our own cross like this talented young man did because the bible says that even the elect of God shall scarcely make it in. Hopefully we can prove to be just as vigilant to keep our eyes on the things that are above and not assume that God is functioning according to mans carnal assertions about others...
pave the way? people been livin like that since the beginning of time. people need to not be afraid of who they are. take the good with the bad. what you hiding for? smdh
Sylvester was an original.
I listen to Sylvester’s music almost daily. Love the music, as I love every type of music from the 70’s and 80’s.
Absolutely adore Sylvester! His voice is So powerful and SO unique.
god bless him..he will never be forgotten..
Sylvester was surrounded by loving family and friends. Amazing talent.
And his music lives on today ❤️ fabulous and sensational 💃🏼 I’ve been dancing around to do you wanna funk
Sweet man! I had the pleasure of meeting Sylvester at The Marlin Beach Hotel in Fort Lauderdale somewhere around 1984 when I was young and new to the scene. I was captivated by his openness and his presence. He was very feminine and extroverted with such grace and flair I instantly liked him! After he passed away, as many others did from AIDS, I became a much bigger fan and learned more about this disco legend who had so much talent and charisma to share with the world! We are lucky to have had him even if it wasn't long enough! Much love to you Sylvester and thank you for your killer dance songs that are still poppin' in the clubs!

Wow!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for sharing hun
This was music..real music!!!
Very true...
So many gone. It's truly heartbreaking.
You're absolutely right my man....
They were all murdered, plain and simple. Never forget...
KG2018 handsome😍
Skunk69 x who murdered them? For what?
Runaway1777, President Ronald Reagan proverbially murdered him and hundreds of thousands of others by withholding funding for research and support because AIDS was a "gay disease."
Baby! When I tell you I LOVE me some Sylvester...hunni he was everything! My mom played his music all the time and so when I listen to his music it comforts me and reminds me of a simpler time in my life. The world needs to know who is and what an AMAZING mark he left in the music industry and in the LGBTQ community. He totally lived life to the fullest. I’d love to see his biopic produced for the BIG screen. And I think Lee Daniels is the person to do it and Miss Lawrence from Star can play Sylvester bc he reminds me so much of Sylvester.
Stephanie Jackson yes Miss Lawrence would be perfect!
Beautiful. Sylvester is a Pioneer.
I'm still listening in 2021 and if I live a thousand years I still would be listening.
Still nowadays so much to learn from him about courage, dreaming and being true to yourself. What a great example of a true artist and human .
My husband was his drummer in the early days.
Can you ask your husband what is the song playing at 2:23?
NO MAMES !!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
T P y
I know that must have been cool, fun, exciting, etc, etc, etc. :))
John Waters comment that watching Sylvester's early performances was like seeing Billie Holiday and Diana Ross on acid slayed me! He was outrageously original and years ahead of his time. His music is now timeless!
By the way, your pic is nice
I was privileged to see Sylvester perform live twice in the Dallas gay clubs back in 1983 and 1984...........he was amazing.
I was lucky to see him perform in San Diego just before he was well known every where in the disco world.
Simon5005 I've just found out about him😥
He was so beautiful. Flawless. Unapologetic. Fierce. He was everything life is. Perfect balance. I adore him. Thank you. Love you forever ♡
Now he's in hell
He was very beautiful even without the makeup. Such an important time.
@@missmelody6185 Yes, he was. Just a beautiful human being ❤😊
@@corneilmadison9436 sad but true smh
@@corneilmadison9436 please say hello to him when you get there
Still dancing to his fabulous music
RIP Sylvester 💕💕
RIP Sylvester you are Beautiful He lived who he was♥️
This needs to be a full on documentary, not just 9 minutes long. An hour at least!!!
Yeah I know right??? But they do have a documentary about him on UA-cam
If I'm not mistaken, "Unsung" on the TVOne network did a show on Sylvester.
There is a documentary on him...it had me in tears!😍
Check out Sylvester 's Unsung doc produced by TvOne👍
I saw this on Unsung and ot was fabbbbbbuuuuuuulosssss! He was taken away much to early from us!
He lived his life the way he wanted and that is what counts. RIP SYLVESTER 💕💖💕🌹
Without condoms?

@@woabeatz9717stupid comment
I was 8 when my mother bought Sylvester’s first album, Step ll. I played it til the grooves wore out. He was so fly, beautiful, gifted. It was heartbreaking when he passed.
Yes he was! I actually learned who he was from an older sib and a few dance moves from Sylvester during the Disco era and I thank him for that. Sylvester WAS a trail-blazer, no doubt!
Girl, me too!!! I was about 9 when my mom used to play Sylvester records to death , honey!!! We used to dance and sing so, so loud..... ahhhhhh, the memories!
I have a couple words for this phenomenal guy:
AUTHENTIC! ORIGINAL!
Rest in Peace Sylvester.
Even as a little girl, I knew he was different...and I loved it. His wild outfits, glamorous hair and beautiful voice. His songs will live on forever and ever. Imagine, if he listened to those record reps telling him to change and be what they wanted him to be...he never would have been who he really was and the person he is to us.
This was amazing. Sylvester made his way out of no way. He was real. He was honest and respectful and pleasant it appears to all 🙏.
Such a talent & a force to be reckoned with. Brave & Courageous & Fearless the way we all should live. RIP Sylvester.
While I was the light tech at Backstreet Atlanta, Sylvester was booked for 3 songs, I was sent to the dressing room which at the time also was a upstairs kitchen to get the back up tape for his performance from his manager. Sylvester was still getting ready, I told him I would be on the spot light & on the rider we received it and it had no instructions on lighting. He was very soft spoken and tall, he baby you know never use green on Us Back Folk, how about a light pink, white will wash me out, and he told me to keep the spot on him in between songs as he was going to introduce a new song, and then at the end go to black so I can see to get off that small stage, he then pulled up his pants/dress and showed me his platform shoes, I told him not to worry, we will take you down when you are ready. I asked him if he wanted to go to the DJ booth or his Limo after the show, he told that he would like to party a bit, I will let you know, I told him it will be two security guards, you tell them. I said you are welcome to come in the DJ booth we have a small sofa and anything you want. His manager told me 15min. I took the tape ran down to the booth, handed it to Angelo & got to the spot light and waited. What a wonderful moment, he decided to go to his Limo as the Club was packed. I saw him again at another Club a year or so later, After he passed away, The Weather Girls came thru, their husbands waited in the Limo, they were all ready, came in the DJ booth, asked if we were ready did it’s Raining Men & one other song, & made a quick exit to the Limousine, check in Hand.
Good Times. But I will never forget My short encounter with Sylvester. 🙏😀
He seemed to have a genuinely sweet spirit.
NOBODY--and I mean NOBODY--was like Sylvester! I miss him to this day. RIP you beautiful, beautiful person!
Comment from a swm. ..Sylvester was one of a kind,awesome entertainer, and from what I can gather A wonderful human being....
Legend..still living on through us and his music
Now that's what you call WINNING! His life...his way.
2 tons of fun. The weather girls. Sylvester. "Sangers"!
Big Freedia or Ms. Lawrence from Star should play him in a theatrical release
Big freedia does remind me of him.
Yeeeees u are spot on but I sees Lawrence doin a better job freedia accent is hella heavy
Or shaq
I agree
Or Magic Johnson's son
I’ve been listening to You Make Me Feel my entire life never knew the history of the song, let alone it was a man! Love it !
I love Sylvester and his music. He knew who he was and wasn't afraid to show it. He made a stance, either love me or leave me, which ever one you better respect me. Because I know who I am. Gone but when I say never, I mean never will be forgotten. Live on baby RIP. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Growing up hearing Sylvester as a gay man I never really appreciated how much impact he had on the world. I just thought "everybody knows he's gay and nobody cares, it's all about the music." Now I know that he was a Game Changer, a Trail Blazer and now an Icon. He sings not WITH the Angels now, but AS an Angel. He rests in Peace but that voice lives on forever and ever.

@@marilynwillett804 God said no such thing. The bible was originally written in Hebrew - FACT. The term "homosexuality" wasn't coined until 1868 - FACT. The English language didn't begin to take shape until about the beginning of the 5th century AD - FACT. Thus, when the bible was written, there was NO Hebrew equivalent for the term "homosexuality". Therefore God didn't say it.
Marilyn Willett why must you lie to support your agenda of hate? According to the Bible, Jesus died for all who accepted him, with no mentioning of any exceptions. Sylvester accepted Jesus as his savior.
💖
@@brklyn345 5th century AD, English language sounded very German, wasn't till 10th, 11th century that French was thrown into it, Latin and Greek.
When I'm down I put Silvester you make me feel on the stereo and forget about all my problems! This song have a good energy ⚡ a good vibration that I cannot explain! 😄 greetings from Brazil for everyone that loves. His songs 😉
I met Sylvester in a bar on Market Street in the 80s !!! What a night , what a wonderful , kind , funny soul ....I miss you my friend ...❤️
Yes he was around back in the eighties. If you lived in San Francisco and we're out and about you would probably run into him.
It's hard for people who weren't there in the late '70s and early '80s, especially in urban centers like NYC and SF, to imagine how terrifying and destructive AIDS was then... it took so many beautiful people in the prime of their lives. Proud of Sylvester for telling the world that was what was going on with him. He was a brave soul, no question, as well as very gifted.
If True 2 the game was a person. Much Respect Sylvester and all that u did for the Culture.. Much Love
As a young boy I remember him ruling the airwaves ! RIP !!!
The video they show at 4:58 never fails to make me burst into tears. Because every time I've danced or worked out to this song, I've been smiling. And when it's still played at weddings and parties, people are having a ball. But his face as he's singing it is a portrait of anger, pride and defiance.
I am so glad this uplifting spirit decided to visit the earth.
Total and lasting respect for this amazing artist, true to himself and never a fake. He was the Real Thing, and will always be missed xx
i ABSOLUTELY loved Sylvester !!
How many of us can say we loved the way we wanted! Beautiful human!!!
I can listen to his music all day..If u ever listen to his music ..u cant help to tap ur feet and clap ur hands and feel mighty real...RIP queen of disco
I was a little girl when I first heard Sylvester's voice and of course I thought he was a woman. When I finally saw a video of his, I was shocked to see that it was a man singing. However, I absolutely LOVED him. I thought he was FABULOUS! Thank you for gracing us with your beautiful spirit and voice!
Hearing his mother speak is so heartbreaking. You can see where he got his looks from. Just imagine all of the people that would be on this earth had it not been for that man made disease.....smh.
@Julia Mimi go play in traffic.....
@Julia Mimi Such ignorance and poison. You must be a very sad lonely person with no friends. Hated by everyone who knows you, vile degenerate bitch.
Think before you speak. There is a lot of ignorance and hatred in that statement.
Julia Mimi I second that motion
Devastating…. Aids destroyed the arts and the intelligentsia of the era and led to the sad, low brow shit show we’re in now.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in the late seventies and he was the consummate performer. He was opening for another act but he was "the act". Gone too soon but will never be forgotten. 💕
My Mother ADORED SYLVESTER! And so did I!
Liked his songs, but more than anything I respect anybody who is true to themselves and won't compromise. That's actually pretty rare.
Sylvester is legendary! A staple of the Chicago house/disco scene.
That voice! So obvious he grew up in the church, cutting his chops. I had the privilege of seeing Sylvester and 2 tons of fun back in 1977. One of the best shows, TO THIS DAY, that I've ever seen. Their voices were pure harmony, and when Sylvester hit those high sustained notes, HOLD ON...Thank you for sharing this.
I encountered this soul by listening to him voicing so much glimmer, glamour, joy and passion into his art.
He's made the world very happy his way. Saddened by the loss of this great artist🕊️🌼🌺🌹
I never knew he did “You Make Me Feel”... but somehow I always remembered the DJ in “Party Girl” listing songs in an overlapping montage and saying “You Make Me Feel by Sylvester”.
