Sylvester was HUGE when I was a kid. That song was on heavy radio/club rotation, nobody made any issue of his sexuality, it was just love, joy and dancing. Sadly AIDS, with no real treatments at the time robbed us of so many creative and talented humans. R.I.P.
I think it’s because there wasn’t MTV at the time so nobody really saw him. As bad as things were back then it probably worked in his favor actually. 🙏🏻
@@Skip2myLoo2 True to a degree, but there weren't that many TV channels to choose from like there are now. He did Midnight Special and which was hugely popular, plus the Merv Griffin show and that was a nationwide audience. Early MTV would not have helped since they had issues with lack of representation of POC in the early days. Had he not passed he could have broken a lot of barriers. Wish they would do a good biopic! It fries my brain to think of who would be cast as him lol :)
@@pmsafety4865 I agree! That would make a great biopic. I remember Midnight Special I think. Wasn’t that with Wolfman Jack? I was so little but I remember the “Wolfman” lol. I would definitely love to see a movie about him during that day and age. It would definitely be eye opening to many this day and age.
Honestly never heard of him. The 70s I listened to disco. But I was a little young comicbook-reading, bmx-biking kid. Lol. Only 70s artists for me were Led Zeppelin, The Who, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Kiss, ABBA, Bee Gees, and Grease & Saturday Night Fever movie soundtracks.😂
Sylvester left a mark in his time with his tremendous talent. YOU MAKE ME FEEL MIGHTY REAL will always be remembered to people like who will turn 66 years old and lived to dance this hit at disco clubs.
He was a star in the disco time, and "you make me Feel" made him great all over the world, even in my country Germany. I have all his records, still listen to his songs very often, for me he was, beside Philip Bailey, the best Falsetto Singer ever. RIP Sylvester, gone much too soon, but not forgotten.
I WENT TO SEE SYLVESTER PERFORM AT THE PARADISE GARAGE AND EVERYBODY HE PUT ON A PERFORMANCE I'LL NEVER EVER FORGET!!! I MEAN HE TORE THE STAGE UP!!! R.I.P. SYLVESTER!!! YOU'RE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!! 💪😎
Sylvester is notorious in San Francisco for to playing music and with the dudes. I saw him once walking around the Castro district and was he ever flamboyant Two Tons of Fun went on to become the Weather Girls. The DJs in other clubs used to play his music for us to dance to. Only the Shadow knows. 🎶🎵. Thanks Lamont.❤
"You Make me Feel (Mighty Real)" is my favorite song from him. Great singer, talented performer. May he rest in peace. Thanks Lamont for doing his story.
I LOVED SYLVESTER. And his song 'You are my friend' always made me cry. Still does. He was very talented and I do agree he was born before his time. He brought out the 2 ladies '2 tons of fun'. Sadly one of them passed also. R.I.P Sylvester🙏🏽❤️
Big fan of his! Heard his music a lot in the Gay clubs back in the early to late 80's when I lived in the SF Bay Area back then. The last time I saw him was 6 months before he died, at the SF Gay Parade. He "marched" in the parade by being pushed in a wheelchair by a friend. He looked pretty bad, but he got applause the whole parade route. RIP
Sylvester was an ICON!! I loved his music along with the Weather Girls as his backup singers!! Nothing like music in the 70s & 80s! Definitely ahead of his time❤️!!
Sylvester was way ahead of his time, and his talent was for real. He was out, proud, and flamboyantly so during a time when it wasn't cool or widely accepted. So, he was definitely a trendsetter. Pose, RuPaul, Boy George, Billy Porter and so many others owe a lot to Sylvester. Check out a few of his songs--he was a vocal powerhouse. Thanks Lamont and R.I.P. Sylvester.
Sylvester was an original and a powerhouse to be reckoned with! HE IS MISSED! Thank you, sir, for visiting his grave and giving his story the respect, it deserves. Sadly, a lot of young people, even those in the LGBTQ Community don't even know who he is! HE gave no 2 F's what anyone thought about him, and that also is something to be admired. YOUR VIDEO IS GOOD! No one else did this!
For all the videos I've seen where the cemeteries are neglected and even abandoned, shout out to the edger man. We still were able to hear Lamont sing and go off!
I grew up on Chicago House so i definitely know who Sylvester was. Absolutely love his voice and the way he carried himself. I hated seeing him wither away from aids. RIP Sylvester
I’m glad you shared this video. I always wanted to see his grave, for I live close to the cemetery. I’m gonna pay him a visit soon. Many celebrities in that cemetery. Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, William “Buckwheat“ Thomas Jr, Robert Kardashian, Johnnie Cochran, and others.
Yes Lamont I knew Sylvester. I guess you know my age. Lol. I was called by my co workers in the mid 70,s as the dancing queen, only 17. 😂. Stay safe my friend!❤😊
I remember the disco days very well as I was a teen back then. Sylvester was awesome. We used to joke if he was a man or a woman but none the less he was truly a star!
PLAYED THIS SONG ALL THE TIME. LOVED THIS SONG EVER SINCE ,THE 1ST TIME THAT I HEARD IT.. ABOUT SOME 8YRS AGO I WAS PLAYING THE SONG ON MY PHONE,WEN MY CO'WORKER THEN,SHE SAID THAT'S SYLVESTER. I GOOGLED HIM AND LEARNED ABOUT HIM THEN. ONLY KNEW HE WAS A VERY TALENTED SINGER RIP,SYLVESTER..
⭐⭐⭐⭐ SYLVESTER was a disco superstar & songwriter, that was known for his flamboyant and androgynous appearance, sort of like "David Bowie" flamboyant. However, Sylvester had a huge range voice that could out do any female singer with his falsetto. Sylvester R.I.P.
Enjoyed the video Lamont. I vaguely remember hearing his hit song as a child .. my parents threw alot of house parties then. This brings back awesome memories ... stay blessed and everyone. 😊❤
Hi Lamont , first I like to tell you that I really love your humor, you got my billy laughing, not a mean laugh, I don’t know who’s this person is but I will check out his music, thank you, May he rest in peace 🙏😌💐 And please be safe ! Stay safe! May lord be with you wherever you are take care 🙏🥰
He was Awesome loved his music his sound and his performances. A real talent may he SIP and may God hold him in his loving embrace. My condolences to the family.

Disco Heat and You are my friend were my favorites back in high school.
He was born when he was needed the most, the disco era would been a lot less colorful without him.❤ Like your graveyard stories, this was an good one.
He has a great voice , hope he talk to Jesus before he left.
I didn't How you Did that fool ness man
You did a great tribute to Sylvester. Stay safe, Lamont. PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!

A bedazzled grave! His friends still drop by. Very nice.
Wow Lamont was really feeling himself today 😂😂😂
I think Sylvester was smiling down on you and was making you feel good with his two songs
I was on my way to comment this! It must be that 80 degree weather making him feel mighty real 😂
To many red bulls

Since he is in California, he getting freaky

Thanks for posting this Lamont. My mom loves disco. I'm telling her about this.

Hey Lamont, you are a character and I like your style of narrating and bringing awareness. Keep up the good work.
There was no room on the dance floor when his song came on in the clubs, I witnessed it first hand, especially in New York, He was amazing!!!!
Lamont performing for a captive audience. They cant get up and walk away. 😂

The two overweight women who sing backup for Sylvester were called Two Tons of Fun! One of them sanged the song “ Everybody Sweat Now” !
I'm feeling the vibe today Lamont!
You actually sang those well......Flashy and awesome Sylvester, amazing voice.
That was a hit record twice.. first release was in the 70’s and rereleased in the 80’s .. I have that song on my playlist..
