 DISCO'S MOST FABULOUS MOMENT! April 5, 2008
This guy was the first lady of gay disco. This dude could make your heart pulse and throb without even trying. We lived in tiny town's back in the 70's. All the songs on this CD were blaring from every open window in the gayest parts of towne in the 70's. It was a real party time with the strong beat and wild party lyrics we freaked from night till dawn and beyond to the sweet sounds of Miss Sylvester! Hearing this CD brings it all back like it was just yesterday. Hearing Sylvester is the next best thing to a time machine.
I love every song on this CD. This CD is a trip down the gay disco in its most fabulous and firey best! Rau Paul and the Village People took notes but Miss Sylvester was the one the only the Greatest! She rules rocks and rolls!

good presentation of earlier work. 2 problems; variable sound quality on a few songs and bad edit on Sell My Soul (that was one of my favorite songs by him).It would have been nice to have the 12" version of that.

...this album does contain most of Sylvester's "popular" dance classics, such as "Mighty Real" and "Disco Heat". But what makes this album indispensible are the "club" classiscs "Down,Down,Down" and "I Need You". I've never seen "Down,Down,Down" on any other compilation, and this is as powerful a track as you will ever hear, and may be my favorite Sylvester song. The only "club" classic that is missing is "Over and Over". I love the popular music, but it isn't hard to find. For the true afficianados, they're searching for the tunes that rocked but are hard to find.

This is the most delectable, elegant disco music, better than most of today's House. Sylvester had a strong and expressive falsetto voice that is carried along on the most infectious dance beats. One could say he was the Smokey Robinson of the disco era. In the late 70s he was as popular as Donna Summer and ruled the dance charts with memorable tracks like the atmospheric Dance (Disco Heat), the rousing You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)and the soulful Stars. This album is not complete, as Sylvester had a couple of other hits too, like the brilliant Do You Wanna Funk and his version of the classic I Who Have Nothing. But this is still a satisfying collection of very melodic, hypnotic music that works well for listening and on the dancefloor.

I saw him in concert at the Galleria Design Center on several occasions...Tea Dances, Halloween, New Year's Eve - I saw him sing with Patti LeBelle at the Moscone Center - I even saw him sing at the Van Ness Muni Station when MUNI opened their new subway/underground. Wouldn't you know, we had to go in and have an all night dance party first - MUNI cars end-to-end on both sides of the station as bar cars, coat cars, lounge cars - and the main platform as the dance floor - with Sylvester overhead, singing his heart out for us!!! This CD, if you ever see him in person, will bring you back. If you never saw him perform, you'll get a hint of what the energy was like.
