Check out more songs on my channel. Like me on Facebook (Michael Fynne) and follow me on Twitter (@MichaelFynne). There will be more songs to come real soon. You will not regret it..
@AmandaNUSA, i'm not a cyber bully nor a big baboon. i made my original "opinion" about this song and the artist singing it and i immediately was labeled gay by the people you think i'm bullying. He tells you he was pulling my leg but if you read his comments you would know that no civil person plays like that. My opinions were my own but i have no appreciation for being labeled gay, baboon or any other labels you seemed to have over-looked.
@arius1973, my final word to you is this: i did comment to you first but i was merely questioning where have you been to not know that slyvester was a man or gay, That was the worst of what i said. You chose to respond by referring to me as "gay" or "fag" and now you smuggly cover yourself by saying you were kidding and now you say you like the mans music and then delete your comments to look faultless. I dont need to backtrack on anything i say and i "man-up" to it. unlike you dude....peace
I LOVE THIS SONG!...................want to know some really juicy gossip that they dare not print anywhere......go to "cool world nzoz1981" and press "see all" to find my 6 comments. regards.
But today's new music from ppl in their teens & 20s DOES SUCK. Study it. The history. Rap & hip hop = killing real music, even artists with talent will apply a rap of hip hop bit to seem current & make the $. Look at what Mariah Carey did w a few albums. A shame! Looks like she's getting back to singing roots now though but having babies changes stuff too. LOL

One Of My ALLTIME Fave Tracks. Sylvester Thank You For Happy Times. Rest Now, In The Angel's Arms. (Or Maybe Take Them Disco Dancing....) God Bless Your Soul. xxxxx Mich K 76.
I had the pleasure of spending a weekend as a guest of Sylvester when he was in the UK shortly before his death and what a kind, gentle, generous soul he was. R.I.P. Sylv
Definitely a song that represents the hedonistic disco era. Not to say that is a bad thing either. Isn't that what music is supposed to be? A form of escapism?
This is serious dance music. Its what we grew up listening and dancing to (we were also alot slimmer too as a result not thick like the 20 year olds today....lol) Check out the old 70's soul train videos on youtube and you will see how both the young women and guys could move their bodies to almost any song played. super aerobics....lol
Right said: ahead of the disco time. Thanks God we understood his music by the time. His image, voice and the musical arrangements (using tecno keyboard ingredients) are completely modern for his time. We love you in Brazil Sylvester.
Him being a "Drag Queen" makes me glad i'm straight as an arrow. Creepy Dude,but,sings killer disco music. This is one of my favorite 1978 space disco jams.
As a kid I asked my parents to buy me some records, this was one of them, and I still have it on 7" vinyl. A great tune that still drops when played at a house club or house music event. Thanks for uploading. Peace
@thedarthflagger - I was young when I first saw this on TV..and I remember the FAN!!! I wanted to fan like that. Gosh, I miss Sylvester. Good times, good times....
As I recently stated on another page, if I like a song I don't care what the artist's sexual orientation is, or even anything about them for that matter, I still think it's good music.
I REFUSE to diss today's music, why? Because every generation has their own sound.

@tonybklyn, you are correct when you say each generation had their own sound and the older generation didnt like the new sounds but it goes without saying that this current generation of muscians are producing maybe the worst string of songs and sounds ever. I was raised by my grandmother who wasnt a big fan of the O'Jays but the O'jays went on to produce classic that are played even today.

@summersbr1 All of today's music isn't crap, you just have to quit listening commercial stations because they're only to push the songs and artists that make their stations the most money..But there are some talented singers and musicians out there today, they're just faced with the same decisions that straight ahead jazz musicians had to face back in the day, whether to play the kind of music that you love and starve, or whether to play the kind of music that's going to get you paid,,
@tonybklyn I hear what you're saying, but my heart tells me this current generation of music is going to be the exception to your statement. I think 30 years from now people are going to view today's music like people view the pet rock, like "what the heck were they thinking about back then?"
@tonybklyn, there is no real justification for what this current generation has done to music today. The musical baton was passed to a younger generation that hasnt taken care of it very well. Too much has been forasken. No musicians to play real instruments is one of the main problems. Jazz is almost a distant memory beacuse everbody is hip-hop intoxicated. Hip-hop is void of music because it doesnt use it, just beats and samples. Ballards are exchanged for hard lyrics. Think about it.......
@tonybklyn well i am going to diss todays music because only a handful of todays artist are original. in order for them to make a hit they have to dig into the crate for a Sylvester and other artist from back in the days.
@tonybklyn - I respectfully disagree because although each generation has its own sound the difference with the current music compared to the past is that it is created by corporations and no longer innovative but copies of past artists. Since the mid 1990s mainstream music has become a neatly packaged "product" created from the first note or lyric to appeal to a certain demographic who are known to purchase the music. The real artists and innovators of today are mostly unknown and unsigned.
to the kids lamenting the age you live in and the oldsters buried in nostalgia...it's up to you to make today's scene....you can pirate every music production you can think of and slam out a track in an afternoon....if you don't like what's out there, you can make your own....music ain't that complicated, it's just organized noise...get out there and DIY!
I hate to see this generation of young people being "ripped-off" by this stuff being sold to them as music today. The so-called artist today are making millions selling crap to young people who dont require more from them. If you listen to most songs today, especially hip-hop, they dont even have the decency to play music with their songs (guitars, horns, etc). They mostly give you "beats" and samples. just listen and you will see
@dreda36 I hate see young people think today's music is good music. 99% of it is trash these days. This stuff was cool. It wasn't the best of the time. But it was cool!
The disco era was alot of fun. It was simply about dancing and moving your body to the high energy music that disco was. Slyvester, Donna Summer, The BeeGees, and others made disco what it was. I wonder if these "thick" kids today could keep up without losing their breathe or passing out.....lol
@summersbr1 I'm with you 100%...though i'm 15..wish i could've been a part of those prestigious nightclubs. This music speaks to me..makes me feel as if i was there.
Amazing stuff...just blows your mind away..
I'm just really sick of the music i hear on the radio these days..can't stand it..
Experiencing the late 70s is definitely going to remain a dream for as long as i live.
@LBJTV, the 70's wasnt a perfect era but it was alot of fun. I really enjoy watching the 70's Soul train videos on here to, it really takes me back to a time when i was a teen and enjoyed dancing to the sounds of the various artist of that time
@summersbr1 I know it had its ups and downs but i'd rather live there as a teen (putting technology like ipods, computers etc. aside) than live as a 15 year old now.
I practically love every song from that era (mostly from black artists since their music was far better than the white artists')...so going to parties with this music was normal/cool unlike now where u have stupid songs being played by Lady Gaga..
Disco/soul songs are now considered ''cheesy'' by ignorant teenagers which is sad.
Absolutely! I would have loved to have been a 22 year old in SF in the late 70s or early 80s. Or hung out in Earl's Court. Dangerous time, but the music would have been so memorable.
In direct opposition to the overplayed Lady Gaga, Hi NRG should be played more often purely for the sake of it being thumpingly good dance music. The so-called star power of flamboyent celebrities wouldn't even enter heads, drowned out by the immense bassline!
one of the very greatest dance songs - djs could put the needle down anywhere and the crowd was dingdong dizzy in seconds r/i/p sylvester - we love you from afar
aereo: Thank you SO much for loading this video. I remember this like yesterday and have been telling friends about it ever since. I was a kid and when I saw this video, I knew there was a whole big world out there that I had to see from my small town. This was exciting. I wanted to participate in Disco, but was too young to get into the clubs, etc. My generation started with The Ritz which fun too but this was great. Thanks, thanks thanks!
Sylvester loved to visit the Florida island of Key West. He visited his famous drag queen friend Divine, who was more famous than Sylvester at the time. I lived on the small island also, and almost every club in town was gay. I watched Sylvester on the dance floor shakin his ass to his own music.
The gays had Key West in 1978, I was there. Divine also lived there and Sylvester came to visit Divine regularly. Since us gays basically had the island to ourselves, it was a huge party. The clubs would play his songs constantly when he was in town, and he would be out on the dance floor with the rest of us. On one of these visits, Sylvester walked out of the club drunk with Divine and started singing Mighty Real walking down street, with Divine dancing. The crowd went wild. Those memories!
one of the best songs ever made!! It just lifts you up, up, up and on the dance floor. The vibe is just...oh yeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! Artists that will forever live trough they'r amazing music. As they say "and the beat goes on".
I worked with Sylvester for about 2 years in the early years. Disco was not even a blip on the radar screen. His version of "Southern Man" was the show stopper. The unique voice and persona were real. When he died he took a little of me with him.
WONDERFUL (:

@tonybklyn I hear what you're saying, but my heart tells me this current generation of music is going to be the exception to your statement. I think 30 years from now people are going to view today's music like people view the pet rock, like "what the heck were they thinking about back then?"

@tonybklyn, there is no real justification for what this current generation has done to music today. The musical baton was passed to a younger generation that hasnt taken care of it very well. Too much has been forasken. No musicians to play real instruments is one of the main problems. Jazz is almost a distant memory beacuse everbody is hip-hop intoxicated. Hip-hop is void of music because it doesnt use it, just beats and samples. Ballards are exchanged for hard lyrics. Think about it.......

@summersbr1 probably why alcohol and weed is always a theme in their music; a camouflage for weak talent and craft / originality...fear

@tonybklyn well i am going to diss todays music because only a handful of todays artist are original. in order for them to make a hit they have to dig into the crate for a Sylvester and other artist from back in the days.

@tonybklyn - I respectfully disagree because although each generation has its own sound the difference with the current music compared to the past is that it is created by corporations and no longer innovative but copies of past artists. Since the mid 1990s mainstream music has become a neatly packaged "product" created from the first note or lyric to appeal to a certain demographic who are known to purchase the music. The real artists and innovators of today are mostly unknown and unsigned.

I hate to see this generation of young people being "ripped-off" by this stuff being sold to them as music today. The so-called artist today are making millions selling crap to young people who dont require more from them. If you listen to most songs today, especially hip-hop, they dont even have the decency to play music with their songs (guitars, horns, etc). They mostly give you "beats" and samples. just listen and you will see

The disco era was alot of fun. It was simply about dancing and moving your body to the high energy music that disco was. Slyvester, Donna Summer, The BeeGees, and others made disco what it was. I wonder if these "thick" kids today could keep up without losing their breathe or passing out.....lol

@summersbr1 I'm with you 100%...though i'm 15..wish i could've been a part of those prestigious nightclubs. This music speaks to me..makes me feel as if i was there.
Amazing stuff...just blows your mind away..
I'm just really sick of the music i hear on the radio these days..can't stand it..
Experiencing the late 70s is definitely going to remain a dream for as long as i live.

@LBJTV, the 70's wasnt a perfect era but it was alot of fun. I really enjoy watching the 70's Soul train videos on here to, it really takes me back to a time when i was a teen and enjoyed dancing to the sounds of the various artist of that time
summersbr1 1 year ago
@summersbr1 I know it had its ups and downs but i'd rather live there as a teen (putting technology like ipods, computers etc. aside) than live as a 15 year old now.
I practically love every song from that era (mostly from black artists since their music was far better than the white artists')...so going to parties with this music was normal/cool unlike now where u have stupid songs being played by Lady Gaga..
Disco/soul songs are now considered ''cheesy'' by ignorant teenagers which is sad.

@LBJTV
Absolutely! I would have loved to have been a 22 year old in SF in the late 70s or early 80s. Or hung out in Earl's Court. Dangerous time, but the music would have been so memorable.
In direct opposition to the overplayed Lady Gaga, Hi NRG should be played more often purely for the sake of it being thumpingly good dance music. The so-called star power of flamboyent celebrities wouldn't even enter heads, drowned out by the immense bassline!

aereo: Thank you SO much for loading this video. I remember this like yesterday and have been telling friends about it ever since. I was a kid and when I saw this video, I knew there was a whole big world out there that I had to see from my small town. This was exciting. I wanted to participate in Disco, but was too young to get into the clubs, etc. My generation started with The Ritz which fun too but this was great. Thanks, thanks thanks!

Sylvester loved to visit the Florida island of Key West. He visited his famous drag queen friend Divine, who was more famous than Sylvester at the time. I lived on the small island also, and almost every club in town was gay. I watched Sylvester on the dance floor shakin his ass to his own music.

The gays had Key West in 1978, I was there. Divine also lived there and Sylvester came to visit Divine regularly. Since us gays basically had the island to ourselves, it was a huge party. The clubs would play his songs constantly when he was in town, and he would be out on the dance floor with the rest of us. On one of these visits, Sylvester walked out of the club drunk with Divine and started singing Mighty Real walking down street, with Divine dancing. The crowd went wild. Those memories!

I worked with Sylvester for about 2 years in the early years. Disco was not even a blip on the radar screen. His version of "Southern Man" was the show stopper. The unique voice and persona were real. When he died he took a little of me with him.
