This is a study of the life of Sylvester and of how he came to stardom and epitomised the gay lifestyle with his anthem : You Make Me Feel Mighty Real.

Again, excellent programming from BBC Radio Four. Unfortunately, Sylvester too had to go and die from AIDS related health complications.

Oh, this is so funny.... Look at this dancing, so seventies (or eighties). Since then, break dancing, street dancing has made everything much more energetic.

There was a whole school of new dancing coming out in those days, cool savvy and in pairs (which made a difference from everyone just jumping about on their own in a disco.

Sylvester was one of the few disco artist to continue to have success after disco.

I remember being in my senior year of high school (1987) when this song was all over dance radio stations, and on the Billboard dance charts.
