Sylvester & Patrick Cowley - Do you wanna funk

[JJLippe]

Fat Faggotty funk .....

[Gaspanic24]

Most bad ass song of all time. "Who been puttin out they Kools on my floor!"

[Stebaht3]

@Gaspanic24 "coals"

[dynaco]

PS the album is 'All I need', from 1982.

[dynaco]

this is one of my favourite songs ever but for listening outside a club the album version is better - shorter, tighter, the bomb!

[muskysdad]

I met Sylvester when i was 16 in Norwich when he came to Cromwells night club he never turned up as he found K C s the gay club next door love ur Pink Greyhounds the man who brought gay music to the hetties

[jonpetry]

Sylvester was one of the best of an era long past. I used to dance to this at the old I-Beam in the Haight as well as at Trocadero. My cousin Sam, his lover Ronnie and all our friends. Great memories of a time that people today will never understand who are poorer for having never experienced it.

[RafaelSamurayX]

Very Good

[mindcrime505]

Wow.!! Good times!!

[l6ST11]

[80sdjgmoney]

Drag queen or not...he had a helluva voice and could sing his ass off.

[shushuwu]

@80sdjgmoney As outcast wild kids, the fact that he did drag and was a proud man who was like "take it or leave it," made us love him all the more. He was kinda our Gaga. Love Queen of Disco.

[GREEDisGOODxyz]

@80sdjgmoney ...AMEN to that!!!!

R.I.P. SYLVESTER

[barronsparents]

At the present time I am 52 years old,,,and I STILL think that this song is a classic disco song. I don't care what kind of crowd I am in, I put this song on and EVERYONE gets the funk! Damn,,,sometimes life is so good.

[MsMedford]

I wish i was in my early 20's when this song came out. alas i was a baby during the disco era :(

[shushuwu]

@MsMedford I was, and Sylvester made partying & hang'n with my girls an amazing memory for me. So happy he is still making new fans as happy as he made us

[davycrocket19]

[saucemonsters]

[idontsignin]

The queen of disco

[KozmoLouie]

[bocaitalian]

[asheyblacq]

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@asheyblacq Amen It sucked he died from aids he sure was a performer of his music! and I'm a straight guy and thx to trading places i love this jam! lol everyone ,everyone get the fuck out!

[vmegag]

@velas45 I'm white and straight for sure i can tell you - people like you are useless on earth.

[vmegag]

This is probably one of the best disco music ever heard...& u know why? Just because those guys - Sylvester James and Patrick Cowley love the others !

AIDS kills so many great artists, please STOP WASTING MONEY DOING WAR & MAKE A BETTER WORLD.

[tnwar330]

[Guacatechs]

epic disco classic. The true flag song for the disco era.

[LeeAnn20008]

OMG, this is the first time I've seen this video, love the collaboration between Sylvester and Patrick but whose who? lol.

[eddyabs]

[philipbourne]

" It was a stone groove my man,you are the most rightus YEAH Right just get the Fuck Out !!!"

[VTMCompany]

the 12-inch on a turntable with headphones way up will blow out your ears...

[MrTaz081]

Just asking was this song in tradeing places? with eddie murphy

[unshutoptic1]

@MrTaz081 ...absolutely...The party, when Eddie threw everybody out....Even the girls that showed her boobs!

[MrTaz081]

@unshutoptic1

Thank you, a was waching that movie last night

[mrsbronze]

@MrTaz081

YES!!!!! It was. The exact same song.

[MrTaz081]

@mrsbronze

Thank you, I knew I wasnt going crazy

[MrTaz081]

@mrsbronze

that was a classic movie

[djswerv07]

AMAZING SOUND QUALITY!!!!!! This is what an upload should like!!!!! Take note people! So tired of people uploading crappy videos with crappy sound quality. Or good sound quality but then they act like they always have to hater-mark them. Real DJ's and music lovers don't hate, they support the music and help others promote it as well! DJ Swerv, Brighton Park Chicago!!!!!

[Gil4000]

Man ! Even I did gained 70 lb Since i danced this Song for the first time , Make me

Greatest funk song at all times !

[Chatbatzeen]

[LOVERDE333]

VERY GOOD...

[aaagfrd]

verry goodddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[aaagfrd]

number onoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo

[StrictlyBG]

i miss the synth era .....this kind of synth music is DANCE music ..not the fucking house,techno,shit ..

[somethingdiesforever]

@StrictlyBG check out Herculesv and Love Affair.

[Ruthbear]

Sylvester was a great singer. He did music people could feel good about. Today's teens should learn about him. I got retro spirit!

[SpinKicksusplits86]

I love this song. Every time I hear it I have to imitate that black chick from Trading Places who took off her shirt. I like to hide my chest as long as possible, slide my shirt off as slow as possible, show them the back, work the shoulders a little, then expose my pecs. I'm totally straight, this song just gets me hyped.

[aishanicole69]

@SpinKicksusplits86 yes that was to funny in that movie..

[dsussman]

i've been waitn' for yah billy ray ; )

[l34052]

Trading Places eddie murphy 'everybody, everybody get the fuck out!!!'

[Slag362]

@l34052 Who has been putting there coals out on the floor!

[MrsAdely]

G+R+E+A*T

One of the best High Energy Music Hit!!

5*****

[Felineblood]

I LOVE Sylvester..wish he could make more like this from Heaven. Hope when we get there we'll get to dance to more Sylvester songs

[wanda7740]

@Felineblood HOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CodaNYC]

They seem to always do films about fallen stars and celebrities alike. Why not Sylvester?

[ShadesOfRapture]

Patrick Cowley. My bad. LOL

[ShadesOfRapture]

People who follow Techno and House don't give Patrick Crowley enough credit. I know there were plenty of other progenitors of the electronic music scene - Giorgio Moroder immediately comes to mind - but Crowley has never gone the credit he deserves.

Steps off soapbox :-X

[Loquicho007]

En la radio en Honduras

[Loquicho007]

Dora' was my love.

She used to danced imajinable

[humlakullen]

They sure don't make REAL MUSIC like this anymore...

[videovix7]

who puttn coals out on my flo? love this song and trading places!

[lllchrisrrr]

I agree this is one of the best dance vids ever

[britboxer]

classic - I remember the school disco DJ playing this when I was 11! Loved it then and now have the original vinyl.

[elamericaperdio]

me gusta mucho esta cansion

[Reb3nga]

Best Disco song ever! Unfortunately I missed the age when this music was played at the clubs :S

Damn shame!!

[marvinbrucefood]

he was absolutely funk and disco, and courage incarnate. I know...pretty lofty. I never personally hung out wid him. Went to The Carousel Ballroom in 1971 as a young, naive hippy to catch Stoneground. I was Stoneground after his show! He was bluesey and outrageous. Then again......we were all extremely smoked out. No shit, Sylvester exploded (lol) in San Francisco......a lot of respect. he's gettin' his funk on in heaven. B.

[1maltar]

Few days ago people in the club went crazy after all night dancing on your music man. Thank you again for everything you achived. You make me feel. Love from DJ.

[Loquicho007]

This is top 10..!

[skydyverD610]

Loved Sylvester, Patrick Cowley. Great Stuff!

[antlantis7]

he was stupid as hell. What an ass. Changing his gender and stuff bullshit wait i love his music though

[BabyJaneHudson]

@antlantis7

He didn't change his gender...where did you get that from?

[antlantis7]

@BabyJaneHudson oh he didn't ? cuz when i see him in the video, he has like these dresses,lipstick,eye lashes and stuff. So i thought that he changed gender

[BabyJaneHudson]

@antlantis7

No, he didn't. They used to call it 'Gender-Bending' but def not a sex change.

Why would you be so dismissive of someone else's choice to be what they want to be?

Peace and Love Man, that's what it's all about.

[antlantis7]

he was stupid as hell. What an ass. Changing his gender and stuff bullshit

[thinkinawink1]

@OtomoTenzi why are you hear! you are a latent homosexual (undercover and denying it) We know you lookin!!! Let your inner gayness out we are hear for you!!!!!! 

[OtomoTenzi]

@thinkinawink1

And who said you had to be gay to enjoy this kinda funky music? : P

Now hurry up and GET DOWN with me!!! : D

[thinkinawink1]

@OtomoTenzi LOL!!!!!! you silly ...man!

[BabyJaneHudson]

@OtomoTenzi

Why would you say something like that...?

[OtomoTenzi]

@BabyJaneHudson

Herk, let's just keep this one in the closet OK? : P

[BabyJaneHudson]

@OtomoTenzi

ohhh, I get it...you're in the closet. Come out already, you're cute. :-P

[QueenAnime99]

@OtomoTenzi Woah, dude. That language is uncalled for.

[robertpintozzi]

YES!!! I want to funk....thinking of you today syl x

[MsLoveMe27]

hey!!!! thats where this song come from on Trading Places...when they danced at his new place to this song is one of my favorite parts of the movie

[BabyJaneHudson]

@MsLoveMe27

It brought Syl a lot of money when they used it in the movie, too. In fact, it's still making his estate money.

[oscarik9]

Awesome !!!!!

[nakkuerkki]

Everybody who does not like this video,  get the ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­ccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkk OUT.

[pdxbrandon1]

RIP

[samr941]

[Loquicho007]

[Loquicho007]

How did he die? 

[elultimochuncho]

@Loquicho007 ...HIV

[venetianson]

This man had a 5 Octave vocal range unheard of now ! . A very few entertainers have a 4 Octave range (Beyonce, Rihanna,Whitney ,etc.) Too bad he passed during the middle of the Aids Crisis or more people would be aware of his powerful voice and many talents

[kd4adv]

This was before RuPaul.

Music heard during party scene in "Trading Places"

[kd4adv]

Music heard during party scene in "Trading Places"

[jukingeo]

The mother of all house burnin' disco tunes. Just can't do a retro party without this one. Clearly a standard.

[aironix]

great song.does not maters if he is gay or not

[zaftig1]

Cottonceena, wow, how cool it must have been to sit and chat with Sylvester. I have a few of his 12" singles and play them every now and then. Thank you for sharing your memories about Sylvester. Your bud in Texas.

[architecturalabdabs]

Kid* lol

[architecturalabdabs]

No words can sum up the talent this guy had, I seen him once when I was only a lil kin, wot an utterly amazing guy, made a huge impact on me.

now being positive, I can imagine what he was going through now .

goodnight and god speed.

[MrDanlj]

Sylvester wil always be the true Queen of dance music

[440John]

@MrDanlj Yeah, drag "queen."

[TheNellah]

@MrDanlj Sylvester and Patrick Cowley ... that's some sounds ...

[cwavii]

@MrDanlj i agree with you

[coopwinters]

WOW HOW SAD!!!! EVERYBODY HAS FLAWS..... WE R ALL SICK AND NO ONES PERFECT

[jakevideo2010]

Sylvester WAS and REMAINS the greatest diva of all time - what a voice - what a performer and what a loss.

love Ya Sylvester x

[440John]

@jakevideo2010 Diva your ass. Divas are women--not homosexuals!

[candylaurenkaryn]

I was nine when this song came out!!! Love it! Happy Song!!

[foreveritalodisco]

AWESOME!!!

[lucasspookus]

Sylvester/Patrick Cowley what an incredible combination. I'm now 66!!! but they still make me want to dance. Back in the early 80's I was learning D.J.ing and lighting at a gay club in Vancouver and Sylvester was booked there one night and I was lucky enough to be doing the lights except that with all the energy being used there was a power failure!! He stood on the small stage and ad-libbed and also came into the booth but being quite shy I didn't say too much to him.

Incredible talents.

[Joebaggindoughnut]

Patrick Cowley had superb sequences . . in this song form 2:55 to 3:25 in Megatron Man at several points. Parts of the song that are the climax or high points if you will. Outrageously gifted were these artists (Slyvester and Cowley) and for us fortunate souls around to see and hear their product thank your lucky stars.

[weezerz]

@Joebaggindoughnut Wow, I never caught that.

[Gidorah2000]

Einer der besten DiscoHits ever. In der Disco umringt von riesigen Lautsprechern und dieses Lied spielt. Du fliegst weg !! Ich liebe es !!!

[gussiee]

This song takes me back to those days of being Wild and Crazy and partying til dawn.

[marcelo54ful]

el dia que me muera quiero que en mi velorio se escuche esto

[marcelo54ful]

uno no termina nunca de descubrir estas jojitas del disco music...gracias Silvester estes donde estes ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[keithko007]

I love Sylvester!!! She turned the S*#T! out! This was a huge hit! Thank you for posting this footage! I became a fan in 1976 and still to this day!

[nazreyes]

This is probably one of the best dance songs EVER created!

[akira2196]

lol this is one of those songs that if you don't listen carefully it'll sound suggestive lol.

[huszar3]

i love this music
