Young gay folk pay attention. This is why you have so much of the acceptance and freedom you experience today. It's people like Silverster and Boy George and so many others that were not famous, that dare to be themselves and stood up for us when it was not a popular thing to do.

Natália Macedo Funny thing is there has always been a stigma about gender bending that comics like Joan could only call it being a drag queen is no surprise especially given the era this was. Nowadays we have progressed (to a degree,) and can't say tranny. It's just not politically correct.
RIP - Joan Rivers, and thank you for being you. Who else would've have the guts to put Slyvester on tv back then, even though he deserved to be on mainstream tv including the Grammy's!
Dude was on American bandstand and had a top 40 hit. Society was incredibly accepting of Sylvester. Stop believing the myth that everyone was a homophobe before the 2010s.
I met Sylvester at a club called The No Name in Providence Rhode Island in 1985! He was a sweet kind down to earth human being! Children I was gonna loose it but he had a calming effect on me. I asked so many questions and he answered them all. Mind you he was touring with his Rock The Box album. He had a keyboard and a microphone & himself alone. He tore that place apart. That falsetto voice was amazing and he knew exactly what he was doing standing behind the synthesizer and dancing and singing his Ass off! Rise in power beautiful one!!!🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕😘
I"m Jamaican straight, Christian and love's Sylvester and so does God. To all the haters, God made him that way and in God's eye he was made just as he wanted him.
RIP Joan Rivers (Joan Alexandra Molinsky June 8, 1933 - September 4, 2014), & Sylvester (Sylvester James, Jr. (6 September 1947/Watts - Los Angeles CA - 16 December 1988/San Francisco CA)
His sexuality is irrelevant. This man was way before his time, extremely talented and refused to change to pacify the morons who didn't like him because he was gay. May Sylvester "Sleep in Peace." Musical icon.
Sylvester, an unstoppable force of nature, and so humble at the same time. What an honour to have been alive at the same time as this gorgeous human. And no, there will never be someone like you, ever again. Thank you for giving me the soundtrack of my life. I will miss you til the day i die and hopefully i will hear the sound of your voice as i enter the gates of heaven. ❤️
Same thing happened to a friend of ours years ago . His boyfriend passed away in '93 and then Rich went in April '94 ... buried just before his 32nd birthday .
All these youngster today have no idea what is was like to be gay in the 70s and 80s. It was scary and you were shunned and people like this paved the way. Came out when no one would. Be thankful people like this opened the doors.
Madeleine Hague Brave soul to be himself only to die of AIDS a manufactured virus which started in US in the gay community from the 1978 Hepatitis Vaccine given in NYC. This was a " special" vaccine introduced by a program labeled " Hepatitis B* Vaccine Program* . Africa was the other place this was introduced by Globalist Scum. One reason to this day I hate Nazi manufacturing Merck. Once a Nazi group always a Nazi group. After the war they came here with open arms. HIV is a whole other story separate from AIDS. All to sell drugs now.
@@georgemontgomeryward7864 yes agreed and now the same crap with covid. Who knows what's really in that injection and what sort of populations they are trying to target next to kill off.
Marisa Tomei died in Austria, last month. We shoved her from the hotel window. Roseanne said she landed on her face. Madonna already told TMZ about it. Kesha has a huge class act lawsuit we've started. They're all going to pay for what they've done to Ellie and I. -LMG (The Guy From Prometheus) The neighbor who was harassing you got a wake up, and she didn't like it.
... if you have the chance, ask Tom Ford about his interview with Di Gaeta posing as my wife. The other designers who haven't fallen are really socking it to him. Especially Theirry Mugler.
Sylvester was a trailblazer. I'm a Gay man, and spent a Sunday afternoon dancing my ass off to his music.....Saw him in Dallas, circa 1984. His music is timeless......gett'in ready to dance now....heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

A true trailblazer! So generous and charming --- giving props to Joan and Charles Nelson Reilly as he promoted a #1 dance song from 1987. Sylvester wasn't with us much longer after this, but then again..here he is with us..still inspiring us to be who we are! Not who others want us to be.
Hi !!! This is Jeanie Tracy, the one in the Blue....It's so wonderful to watch this video again on RUclips and see so many wonderful thought's from his fans. I had the privilege of doing this show with Charlene and singing with the original Two Ton's of fun (Martha Wash and Izora Armstead) It was an honor to work for him for many years and I treasure all the moments with him. He will always and forever hold a special place in my heart. We are doing a Tribute in his honor this year.
This is awesome to see and thanks to Sylvester for his music and the boldness and bravery and he is still missed even to this day..RIP Sylvester and thank you for your music..
I remember this.. the audience was not feeling him when he started but were jammin by the end...he turns them out....they were not ready for him...RIP...one if the greats
One of a kind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We partied all over the warehouse clubs of Chicago. Thank you and I would love to talk to Charlene Moore.
This is a great song, I love the production, the hook, the feel, and the voice. Sylvester definefly made his mark from disco to pop with this track I LOVE IT!
Sylvester was Beautiful and Extremely Handsome Amazingly Talented!!! I'm glad I grew up knowing his Music I appreciate him more!!! My Era love you ❤️ always Sylvester
I watched this I was young I love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 Sylvester he was awesome and a trailblazer I miss him so so so much he should be alive today he was so beautiful inside and out he was so beautiful gorgeous wonderful Iam almost 63 still love ❤️ him he made ok to be you in the MOST FABULOUS way rip love ❤️ you’re music 🎼 voice fashion everything you were
He can really sing! I did not see this clip before hearing it first and thought this was Aretha initially. I liked how he was not afraid to showcase bigger women, like Martha Wash, who had real talent yet a lot of those in the business would not let her be seen and used her voice on the tracks.
A truly unique and amazing INDIVIDUAL to whom we owe so much for being able to maintain our diversity and strength in society. As for arrogant twits like 19676 (comment below) - shut it!
Blessed to see the Amazing SYLVESTER in Denver at a club called Tracks and again in Philadelphia at the Bourse Building here in Philadelphia, Pa. If he couldn't get you jumping...nobody could! Rest in Peace SYLVESTER June 2019 He made me feel MIGHTY REAL!
This is the epitome of what genius is...."To thy own self be true"... Nobody else matters when it comes to your own world ! The true empowerment to any kind of success, especially happiness !
I love hearing Sylvester with the Two Tons Of Fun. Still, it's good that they went out on their own as "The Weather Girls", as they are far too talented to be mere background singers. At the same time, Sylvester was SO talented that he didn't need background singers. He could definitely hold a song on his own.
Charlene, Remember how fun life was back then .. compared to today and all we have to deal with living in America. I saw him perform live in a gay club in Boston in the early 80's. What an amazing entertainer he was. He wore several costumes, one under the other and as he went into another nonstop song, he would strip off one outfit to reveal another !! We went back stage after the show and he was extremely gracious. The world was just a wee bit nicer with him in it. and you toured together !
You got that right! To be so young and yet so smart! Sylvester was who he was, no matter what. He was one who helped pave the way for the young ones today. If you young gays only knew what we used to have to endure!
Joan was so ahead of her time. She supported the gay community before anyone else would even think of and spoke out about AIDS before anyone would dare.
I saw this cause Im Johnny Carson fan, and when Joan Rivers was hosting, I'd watch for sure, and when he came on to perform, I was shocked, and all I recall saying was "is that a man dressed like a woman"? LOL ANd the audience loved his performance too!! THis was a club floor burner back then.
Reading the comments, I feel like crying! He was such an amazing talented person, an Icon! I hope he knows how many of us love him, admire and identify with him! Joan... Made him feel right at home, thank You for that Joan! May them both Rest in Peace!
A fun a fabulous class act until the end. To be seen at the painful end of a historic life, cruising around his Castro neighborhood in S.F. in wheelchair with entourage. Looking tiny, grand, sweet and sad all at once. It's amazing how extremely varied the phases of human life can be. From lightening bolt to flickering flame to gone in a year's time.
This is from The Tonight Show, with Joan Rivers substituting for Johnny Carson, on NBC-TV. In addition to his Warner Bros/Megatone Records album Joan is holding, Sylvester was riding high on the charts with "Freeway of Love," taken from the Aretha Franklin multi-platinum selling album Who's Zooming Who, also an album track, featuring a very audible Sylvester on background vocals, doing both his famous falsetto and tenor voices in a call-and-response to Aretha. Sylvester lives.
yes, we must keep not only his music, but all the wonderful disco music and singers from that era. But Sylvester was special and brilliant! Take Care Charlene!

Even with a cold he still KILLED IT !!!!!REAL SINGING PEOPLE !!!!
Cold my ass he was developing AIDS symptoms.

It sickens and saddens me greatly that Sylvester and his husband had to both die of AIDS within a year of each other. So sad.
It was. What a heartbroken. 💔 😥 😢

Great. Just great. God bless all three of them. Thanks for posting.
he was the best of the best. Joan.....I met her a few times.....she was amazing.....
For a man to be openly gay on TV in 1987... guts! And then says he's married to 'Rick'. Man, too bad all the kids were in bed when this was airing.
...and he was openly (and famously) gay over a decade before that. A true pioneer.
You're right. I was about 11 when this aired and had to be in bed. Nowadays kids stay up all night and wake up at 1pm
+MaeSekou I was 13, I didn't know about Sylvester until a few years later, yesss a pioneer indeed!
brockbaby no guts just no patriarchal god

This song was very popular in 1987. when I was a young underage dancer at the clubs

Cant we just all go back to the 80s and have good times again...
