Sylvester did it before anyone else. He was just out there and unapologetic. He was so adventurous with his music as with his appearance. Awesome dance music that still holds up today.
"He was so adventurous with his music as with his appearance" Big LOL. The music he sang was made by PATRICK COWLEY, not SYLVESTER. Sylvester only gave his voice. For God's sake, make some investigation and do not say rubbish ...
This song was HUGE in the '80's!!!
Still bro, just still...
I've loved this since the 80's, and my daughters love it too. They just told me they played it for their friends at a college party!
Patrick Cowley was at the forefront and a mastermind when it came to the synthesizer sound. I recall so vividly going to clubs in the early 80s when sylvester and Cowley's, other great dance and high energy music was played. The pulsating sound and bass line and lighting on the dance floor were electrify transcending the partygoers to another place and time. It was a carefree ans grand party! There will never ever again be anything like it.
mASTERMIND?? LOL what are you talking about???! This is a big fat guy in a dress! lol John, for everyone's sake, I'm glad that there will never be anything like this, ever EVER again! This is the cringiest thing I have ever seen or heard.....and the comments are awesome! lol : This man is AMAZING!! LOL. My favorite comment is :
Sylvester was such a beautiful person and amazing singer. the world has lost a great voice. thanks a lot for this reaction.! lol. someone actually wrote that! LOL. lets be real here, a big fat guy, in a dress with red hair, thats what this is! its not beautiful or wonderful! All i can think is: Imagine how bad this fat sweaty guy in a dress smells!
This song was a head of its time outstanding! Party at Billy Rays if ye know what I mean ...Yeaaah
Sylvester was a trailblazer.
Amazing vocals and a gay man who said this is me deal with it.
Love it.
Sylvester was such a beautiful person and amazing singer. the world has lost a great voice. thanks a lot for this reaction.
Everyone knows Sylvester from the clubs back in the day. Great energy!
The dance floor would get jam packed, you could not even move
A TOP FIVE dance hit of all times!
OMG- one of my best friends whose deejayed for decades will refer to Sylvester as gospel. WAY ahead of his day with no mercy shown to the dance floor!! Your reaction was PRICELESS- exactly as it should be to the mighty Sylvester!!
I had this 12" and the album. Even at 18 i knew this was great music.
Please React to Sylvester & 2 Tons of Fun: "Disco Heat".
Patrick Cowley produced euphoric records... Absolutely amazing this is the point where you can literally see the transition from disco to new wave/synthwave happening here and elements of dance. Incredible time of evolution in our music history!
Not only euphoric. He did some brooding, lay back, and dark tracks too like: Deep Inside You; Mocking Bird Dream; I Feel Love Remix;
@divineaura22 I believe the transition you’re talking about is from Disco to “High Energy.” That is the name the genre that emerged after 70’s Disco died out. It’s basically Disco, but with synthesizers instead of strings and horns. And the BPMs are about 130 or higher. I Feel Love is considered to be the first (or one of the first) High Energy songs.
@@alexcncmacsalcar7324 😊🤗
When this song started thumping in the club...EVERY man was on the floor! Defined the best of gay clubs!
One of the best dance songs ever!
Great "Classic" gem! It makes you wanna move! YES! This is the Club/Remix that they played in the Clubs!! Thanks Dereck!
Great disco music!! This is the type of music that kept us on the dance floor😃
Who dropped cones on my floor? Party at Billy Ray Valentines x
Thank goodness for the Disco 12inches with all the extended version made for the clubs. Radio versions were about 3mins. But most disco 12in are over 6min to an entire album side of 20mins. When songs had long intros, middle break and the outro.
Great reaction! ... RIP Sylvester 🙏🖤
Queen Sylvester was doing it before the children knew what it was.....LEGENDARY 10'S HUNNY
the man who produced this music and more music by Sylvester was a Pioneer in synthesizer dance music. His name was Patrick Cowley, and he died in his early thirties of AIDS
Sylvester one of a kind
All I did in 1980 to 1989 was 💃 ❤dance. That was my workout and hobby.
This song is still fresh ,Sylvester was gone to the Hospital for visiting Patrick Cowley, They decide there a production together, so Sylvester wrote lyrics and Patrick composed music, the result was Do ya wanna Funk ,maybe the most famous song for them, listen and dance It .
Patrick Cowley is the god of Electronic Music. This man is amazing!
I can only speak about gay clubs, but he was our dance goddess. In San Francisco, where he lived we saw him many times live. Still dancing to all his work today! I’m a boomer and we new exactly what he was singing about! lmao. I think the song was also in Risky Business.
I still have my Trocadero Transfer card. Best times ever. :)
I just adore Sylvester! He was happiness personified and the Bravest LGBT person in music
Try Divine “Walk Like A Man” or “You Think You’re A Man”
Looooooooooe this tune!!!! 80’s aerobics again!!!!!!
Also, if this didn’t make you get up and dance, you are dead.
The first time I heard Sylvester was in the movie Trading Places.
Me too and for years I thought he was saying "do you wanna f**k" lol
Yaas exactly I mentioned that this song in the party scene.
Thank you for appreciating the 80s music. Makes people like me in our 50s emotional, that our favourite music is still loved and receive a reaction like yours. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! 💕💕💕
Thank you for showing the respect that they deserve.
YESS! It was still in my pocket as a DJ when I started at a gay club in 1984. Luv it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sylvester paved the way for the ru-Paul’s of our generation. He passed away far too soon. A little fact... the pic of the “falling man” from 9/11 was said to be Sylvesters brother. Unfortunately, drag was not publicized back then and if this song came out today, it would be highly recognized. Rip Sylvester
Silvester shoUld be recognized as an
important artist ..his voice his charisma and Style was qmazing...qn Idol. An angel
Why everyone keeps forgetting Patrick Cowley in this song?? Truly shameful. The real artist behing this masterpiece is Patrick Cowley, Sylvester "just gave" his voice.
Born to be alive, Don't leave me this way, and this song defined Disco
Patrick was the godfather of EDM. The industry has accepted as the greatest remix in history his remix of "I feel love". The remix is magical, raw and jaw dropping. And he did it in the 70's, mad respect. Please do a reaction on the full remix (it's on you tube)
The first song I heard playing when I walked into my first gay bar! Such a memory rush!! This is my favorite Sylvester song and so are all his others! 😝 Saw him live at a dance bar (then named “Heaven”) in Houston-before AIDS took him and his beautiful talent from us.
I DJed from 82 to 87. This was a guaranteed floor filler every night of the week. 130 BPM could play it at 127 up to 134 and it was so versatile with all of those drum breaks. Great song!
The bass is a synth. The chord stab is a staple of back then.
Work Ms.Sylvester ,,work the trade😘😘😘😘
work it sister!!!
@@DereckReacts 💵💵💵💵💵👍👍
@@DereckReacts love your videos Derek
Flawless Song
This version is actually a remix of the original. But, the original doesn't disappoint either. I met Sylvester in a small club in Santa Fe, NM. He was very cordial and I got his autograph. Those were the days. Excellent Dance Music. Love it!!!!
1 meaning of Funk is the state of being unhappy and without hope
Cow bells yes very '80's!
disco got polished in the 80s to become dance/house. patrick cowley has many anthems ! dance club
tracks are very long songs not the radio versions. do you wanna funk...play on words : ) This track was probably one of the biggest in clubs in the year it came out for a very long time.
Here in San Diego, Sylvester performed at Mr. Dillon currently Rich's. Another great song is "Disco Heat" with 2 tons of fun, they were the Weather Girls in "lt's Raining Men". Peace ✌️ Gary 😊
I have his greatest hits cd..Sylvester had a voice and could get down!
Patrick Cowley was on his death bed when he produced (this track it took such along time to go this in those days) it was the last moment for his genius and a very fitting finale🔥🔥🔥
Trading Places brought me here. Does that make me basic?
So many good times to this song!!! May Sylvester be blessed in the hereafter for what he gave us!!
❤ Yes! ❤
This song slaps SO 👏 GODDAMN 👏 MUCH.
It is a CHOON!
I do work out to this song as well as Patrick Cowley/Paul Parker "Right On Target", along with Patrick Cowley's "Megatron Man", "Menergy", "I Wanna Take You Home"
Menergy by Patrick Cowley is EPIC!!!
@@robertlukacevic1811pure Hi Energy.
I can't listen to this song without thinking about that scene intruding Places where Eddie Murphy is upset about people not using coasters at his party.😂
All my love to Sylvester...
So adorable watching you experience this track. The 7 inch mix is the hero really. Im old enough to have been hearing this on the radio in Australia where it was a smash.
The 'lasers' at around 8:50 were so you could finger point shoot who you fancied on the dancefloor....good days 👉👉
Yes, in every club!
Sylvester un grande de la música Disco / High Energy
The songs used to be long because it was supposed to play on the clubs, so it's quite the same thought we put on electronic music in a way.
This takes me back to some wonderful nights at the Trocadero Transfer in San Francisco in the early 80's....such crazy good times with all my gay 'boyfriends'....the Troc was one of those places where you'd dance all night with your sunglasses on....until the sun came up...! Thank God they had after hours :)
It was very infectious
I was dancing to it in the 80s! Beyond, f=d up and doing rush!
Aquí no hay brecha generacional. La música de Silvester es para todos. Thanks for the positive reaction!
The music is not from Sylvester, is from Patrick Cowley --- give the real author the credit ...
This makes me remember Slyverter performing this song at Studio 54 in 1982. I didn't even know he was going to be there that night. I fell in love with Sylvester when he performed "Disco Heat" on the Merv Griffin show. I didn't hear "Disco Heat" on the radio, but when I went on a high school trip to France, in 1979, the song played at a disco we went to in Nice and I was so excited about it. I love both songs.
The first for me was = You dropped a Bomb on Me. And the Pointer sisters were really big..
Classic effing tune amazing still now
God! Thank you for doing this for Sylvester
Dereck, Someone else mentioned Teena Marie from the 80s and I think you would love her! The things she could do with her voice, you won't believe! Another star gone too soon...
Un cantante fuera de serie,adelantado a su época
That was Patrick Cowleys last Song, after this tune he died :( He was one of the first to die of AIDS. He never found out the name of the disease :(
From the movie 'Trading Places' :P
Who put their kools on my floor!
Take a listen to a group called... Lime... Babe, We're Gonna Love Tonight
Love this track. It's an epic floor burner! Please please please could you react to The Pointer Sisters 'Dare Me'. It's so underrated and needs some exposure as one of their best tunes.
I love you😭💜⛓️ YES!! You react to all the jams
HAHAHAHA so cool you couldn´t resist! hahahah
This is a song when the music and arrangements around it is clearly better then the vocals,but as a whole,it works out good because the song itself is that good...the melody,the instruments, the arrangements...it overcomes all other deficiencies here..
A like from me since you really appreciate Sylvester and have become fairly knowledgeable. One has to be dead not to move when Sylvester comes on. Lol
I still have this on vinyl 45
@Michael Asay if i could post a pic of the cover here id show u
Why wouldn't you/he? I've got this and everything else on vinyl. It's not unusual if you love pop music. You hang on to your treasure.
@@harripalomaki8796 to be honest its down to storage space i have 800 vinyl 45's and same in cd's, i don't want to leave too much junk for my family to sort at end of my days...so if someone would make a respectable offer id let the vinyls go...hoping they would be used and treasured as much as i have. They were mostly collected 1979 to 83 but have a few rare ones in amount the collection.
@@eggy1962, I do hear thee, old chap. I just see so many reactions saying "I still have..." as if it's some kind of a miracle. And I understand the storage space dilemma. The walls of my studio flat are covered with vinyl, CDs, DVDs and books because those are the things I love. I've never cared for minimalism in home decoration. Makes for better acoustics as well! As for life after death, I have bequeathed my vinyl fortune to a few trusted friends.
YASS!!!! Thank you! Love Sylvester. You’re reaction is priceless
you can't feel this on a floor dance on that time 😍
Sylvester had red hair.. Annie had orange!! LOL OMG this song at some point it makes me think at the beginning of the High Energy era songs that was nailed by SAW with Dead Or Alive : You Spin Me Round Like a Record!! And Give us Venus by Bananarama in 86. It's long for the DJ to have time to mix with the next one... Have you tried that 45 minutes long Donna Summer song?? LOL
Hi Dereck l had my nightclub I'm Melbourne Australia and l called it sylvesters who was my favourite dance singer along with Donna summers l got him to open my night club in Melbourne so l booked him as other places could not afford him so canceled their booking as he was there for the Sydney Gay Mardi Gra and performed at warehouse party after the Gay Mardi Gra. I was so lucky to get booking as a really great start for my nightclub sylvester opens sylvesters . He was a really nice guy to talk to and very kind in contract his favourite drink was gin and provided hair stylists as well hotel and l hired the ex Governor Generals rolls Royce for his transportation where ever he wanted to go. Disco music in those days was always long versions short versions was for radio only but night clubs they were the long versions as DJs needed to mix music to create an atmosphere of non stop music with different artists on the dance floor you felt like you was on 7th heaven AWSOME. Anyway cheers for now l ❤️your channel Maurice From Melbourne Australia.
Great Reaction ! There was a whole lot of funkin going on back in the day with Sylvester! So hot on the dancefloor. So glad i was there to enjoy it!
Yasssss I was born in 1982
My music of Time’s 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hello my friend. I always follow with joy your videos from Italy! A hug.
A guaranteed 'floor filler' - this track and 'You Make Me Feel Mighty Real' were/ are the epitome of disco! Am grateful to have grown up in the seventies amongst all these wonderful tracks.
Try shot in the night by Paul Parker...
Produced by Patrick Cowley
It's jamming with drummers and Patrick 's Synthesizers
Trans X -Lime -Tapps Canadian Disco!!
What fun! Not sure if I've heard that one before. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! There are some great interviews with documentary-style footage out there about Sylvester on RUclips. He truly broke through some major barriers.
Looooove this song! You are right, this is a masterpiece 🥰
Yes its definitely dressed up sex lyrics. I think thsts part of the fun of it to be honest. Its very direct lyrically and club orientated.
I love Sylvester! And "You Make Me Feel" is my favorite from back in the day. No summer in San Francisco was complete without Sylvester leading the fun! Thank you for your reaction. I follow you for your Dimash reactions 👏🏼 Someone mentioned Teena Marie, yes. Also, anything by Sade and Terence Trent Darby (Sign your Name).
black souls voicies are unique. I was in my early teens and Sylvester songs already captured me
And one final track most agree this is one of the best House tracks of the 90"s De'Lacy Hideaway Deep Dish remix Hope you enjoy and hopefully review
Super cool hit. Don’t even remember it though. Priceless reaction from you. Just love it.
I only know this song from Trading Places
Hey stud, take a listen to the Bee Gees - Too much Heaven. You'll ❤ it.
@Michael Asay hey 🖐 what's up 😎
