I met the man a few times while spinning at The Endup. Such a sweetheart. And very shy. Such a loss for all of us. Super person, and a once-in-a-lifetime voice.

[Thunderstormwitch]

I still remember the mayham and fun on the dance floor when this song was playing in the clubs. People clowned and dance with smiles on their faces and everyone's dance was appreciated as long as you brought the energy! Fun times and a great track by the wonderful Sylvester!

[msrikishi]

Sylvester' always been one of my favorites.

RIP sYL

[jeff94582]

[pepperonibill]

OH MY GOD...I LOVE THIS SONG! They'll NEVER be another Freda Payne, nor will there be another Sylvester. Thank God for Sylvester for his version of this classic song of the 70's. I don't think anyone could have EVER done it justice like Sylvester! Wouldn't it be a HOOT if Beyonce or Lady Gaga redid it??? This song should keep going strong! What's YOUR take??? Let me know.

[djmusicjac]

@pepperonibill classics like this are never same when other artists do them, this one is a golden tune, fitting for a goldmine

[thehaterfull]

Oh my god this man was and is fantastic, thank you so much Sylvester 4 ur music.

[stevienicksnet1]

Thansk for posting and bringing back memories of my youth party at the clubs...!

[djmusicjac]

I am huge fan of Sylvester, i love this tune very much, still as popular today as ever

[MrBradklopp]

Thank you for posting this, I have been looking for this song for a long, long time. Sylvester was an incredible artist and this is my favorite of all of his hits!!!!! Disco Rocks! It always has and surprisingly he came out with this song on the tail end of the Disco era.

Disco Klopp!!!

[Duquedecasitodo]

WarEagle, thanks for all the great music. I too miss Sylvester. I can't get enough of his songs.

[indy4tex]

I love and miss Sylvester and I zora you will forever be in my heart!!!!

[lrwsoreal]

i luv his voice

[lots2lurn]

THE most wonderful times of my life... coming out in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale at THE COPA. I had this vinyl and plyed it until it sounded like bacon in the frying pan.

[spabrat]

i luv,luv,luv this smokin hot song!!!!! fabulous

[rickylaaron]

@spabrat Thank you !!!!! 

[bfmsgv]

haha my first of many sylvester 12" singles i purchased

[SABOREAME68]

AWESOME! Still ROCKS!!!

[fabclaw]

Great track and vocals. Even better than the original to me. If you like a rockier version, check Bonnie Tyler's live version from 1986 on YouTube as well. Thanks for posting this classic track!

[Kimmell2009]

Hey..I got my reply from E:True Hollywood Story.

They said in thier letter that many fans of Sylvestor have expressed an interest in a documentary, but right now the program's interest's is not to focus on a segment featuring Sylvestor.

[jimmygggg]

weak ass bitches

[PhoenixBrown9ne]

****If you are still interested in a Sylvester documentary, TV One is airing one on Monday March 29, 2010. It is apart of their Unsung Series.****

[norodofneverwood]

His biographical book a few years was very good.

[blomod]

playing every week at work in dancing Gent;Belgium!!!!!!!!  great song and person

[Kimmell2009]

Hi Thunder.

I wrote the tv show, "E:True Hollywood Story" asking if they would do a documentary on Sylvestor.

I hope to hear back from them.

[Thunderstormwitch]

This man's story must some day be told on film. Come on Hollywood! The time has come again for you to be brave and step up and let this story unfold in film history!

[WILDWOODDUDE]

What a hit..........Ft. Lauderdale, Backstreet some great times dancing to Sylvester's hits.

[shreve99]

OMG! I remember the Backstreet! What a GREAT club that was!!

[freakersucker]

Sylvester you are the biggest of the Discoteque Music, yes,yeah,yeh,yap.

[GuyinGlendora]

I miss Sylvester too, saw him at Studio 1 in West Hollywood on the first date with my partner of 26 years.....he performed Band of Gold.....such a loss that he's gone

[Kimmell2009]

I miss Sylvestor...he was such a nice and caring person.

[rodineisilveira]

This song was originally recorded by Freda Payne (with the arrangements made by The Funk Brothers [the band which accompained the Motown stars in the 60s and the early 70s]) in 1970.

[daveegee123]

i didn't even know this existed, classic studio 54 material
