Genre defining icon Sylvester was pushed him into the disco stratosphere with an incredible string of dancefloor hits. Powered by the singles ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ and ‘Dance (Disco Heat)’ Sylvester – unapologetically black, gay, falsetto-singing and gender-crossing – became a superstar, soaring on a blend of his gospel virtuosity and the astounding vocals. Melding gospel, funk, and disco to create a spangled, unforgettable impression on the ’70s and ’80s, and through it all, Sylvester remained resolutely himself until the very end.
