    Sylvester James, Jr. better known as Sylvester, was an American disco and soul singer-songwriter. Known for his flamboyant and androgynous appearance, he was often described as a drag queen, although he repeatedly rejected such a description. Responsible for a string of hit singles in the late 1970s, Sylvester became known in the United States under the moniker of the "Queen of Disco."

    I was living in Dayton ,OH ( of all places ) in 1989 and was @ a Chevron convenience store very early one Sunday AM. Anyway, shopping for AM snack items and lo & behold who comes on the overhead speakers- Miss Sylvester James ..He's doing an interview and recalling how he & Two Tons O'Fun - Izora Armstead & Martha Wash -started their music careers..Signing in the church on Sunday mornings..They would then drive around San Francisco in a VW Bug or VW Travel Van and sign the non-church songs they really wanted to sing .. Needless to say , I was slightly taken aback hearing details on Sylvester's background.

    • @sharksport01
      @sharksport01 6 месяцев назад
