In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.

An Archive of Some of the Most Daring Art of the '80S and '90S Is Now Open
An archive of some of the most daring art of the ’80s and ’90s is now open to the public, in a digital display honoring World Aids Day (Dec. 1). Called Art Lives, the online gallery features iconic artists whose creativity was lost to the world in the AIDS epidemic of the 1990s. One featured artist is Jim Terrell, an architect who revolutionized the interior design of department stores in the 1980s. There’s also singer-songwriter Sylvester (aka Sylvester James), who produced 1970’s chart-topping disco hits like “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real” and “Dance (Disco Heat),” and sketches by fashion designer Patrick Kelly—the first person of color to be admitted to the prestigious French ready-to-wear council. Art Lives is a special curation by “virtual cultural arts center” POBA, which since July 2014 (pdf) has focused on preserving the work of deceased visual and musical contemporary artists. “Now more than 30 years after, as time passes and memories fade, that work is being lost and a lot of them are stored in attics,” explains POBA co-founder Jennifer Cohen to Quartz, of the Art Lives exhibition. Cohen says she was inspired by her own personal experience working in the entertainment industry in New York in the ’80s and ’90s, an era of revolutionary creativity that sadly coincided with the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. “I experienced depth and the sweep of this exciting creative time,” she says. “What we saw was this tremendous movement towards freedom of expression, high style and great fun, and then this counter-blast where this wonderful generation of artists were being lost.” The seven artists showcased in the inaugural Art Lives exhibition were nominated by three leading arts- based organizations advocating for AIDS education and services.

Martha Wash About
Martha Wash About Martha Wash has a voice that made millions dance. She is a two-time Grammy nominated American R&B, pop, soul, and house singer, record producer, songwriter, activist and music industry executive with a career spanning over thirty years. As one-half of the duo Two Tons O’ Fun – later the Weather Girls – she sang with the legendary Sylvester and recorded the enduring multi-platinum hit “It’s Raining Men.” Wash quickly rose to become the Queen of Clubland, with 13 songs peaking at Number One on the Billboard Dance charts. In the 1990s she spurred legislation that made vocal credits mandatory on CDs and music videos after being denied proper credit (and royalties) for C+C Music Factory’s anthem “Gonna Make You Sweat”, and Black Box’s “Strike It Up” and “Everybody, Everybody.” During this era Wash was the Midas of dance music, with eight songs featuring her vocals reaching Number One on the international pop/dance charts. Wash remains active as a touring and recording artist, and in 2015, she produced First Ladies Of Disco's Top 10 Billboard dance single "Show Some Love", which was released on her own label Purple Rose Records.

Co-Songwriter James Wirrick
The following interview with JAMES WIRRICK was conducted by the Library of Congress on May 7, 2019 James Wirrick Library of Congress: How did you meet Sylvester? Did you audition for him? Can you tell us about the actual writing session for “Mighty Real”?—for example, did it take place in the studio? James Wirrick: Sylvester’s drummer at the time, Jack Reiner, called and asked me to come hear the band where they were playing that week--they needed a guitar player. The first time I saw the band, Sylvester was flanked in front by two background singers, both fully-bearded drag queens in full drag. I told Reiner I wasn’t interested; the two bearded drag queens would never fly “mainstream”--it was just too much. Months later, Reiner called again and said, “Syl has toned it down a bit--he got rid of the drag queens.” So I auditioned for the band and was hired on the spot. The writing for “Mighty Real” was actually done in three stages: I wrote the music in my modest little Duncan Street apartment in San Francisco--we were all dirt-poor then. Syl wrote the lyrics and melody--almost all on the spot--at a rehearsal. Synthesist Patrick Cowley then got hold of a rehearsal tape and added the bouncy synth bass lines and all his effects. Syl heard that demo recording and immediately said, “I want that on my record.” So later they added Cowley’s synths and effects to the track in the studio at Fantasy Records. Harvey Fuqua produced the track and the album, “Step II.” LOC: At the time of its creation, did you (and Sylvester) view “Mighty Real” as a “disco” song? “Disco,” as a term if not as a type of music, would soon start to fall out of favor--was that being felt at the time by the two of you? JW: No, we didn’t view it as a “disco” song; that soon became a pejorative term.

A Different Time, a Time When We Were All Kids Listening to Music Different from Our Par Ents’
LET ME TAKE YOU back to a different time, a time when we were all kids listening to music different from our par ents’. It was harmony, it was soul, it was rhythm & blues. When I was a kid in South Philadelphia, even before realizing that one day I would become the Geator, that sound haunted me. It was a magi cal, almost ethereal, harmony. And the one group that blew me away was the Moonglows: Harvey Fuqua, Prentiss Barnes, Alexander “Pete” Graves, Bobby Lester and guitarist Billy Johnson. I never dreamed then that one day I would work with the Moonglows, play their music, have them perform on my TV show. Having had the plea sure of knowing all the wonderful harmony groups from the Fifties and Sixties, I hold the Moonglows in a special place in my heart. With their amazing talent and dedica tion, they represent a great tradi tion of what show business was like back then, as well as reminding us of the original excitement where Alan did his immensely popular “Moondog Rock & in the early days of rock & roll.

Sylvester (1946?-1988) by Nathan G
Sylvester (1946?-1988) by Nathan G. Tipton Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com By the time Sylvester died on December 16, 1988 of AIDS-related complications, he had firmly cemented his reputation as one of the most original and talented musicians to come out of the disco arena. According to Anthony Lamar Rucker, while Sylvester represented to mainstream America the Black and gay cultural origins of disco music, his body of work included not only crucial contributions to the disco songbook, but also ballads that proved he was a versatile stylist who brought a realness and depth to all his material. Inspired himself by flamboyant musical icon Little Richard (Richard Penniman), Sylvester's own wild and outrageous personality influenced contemporaries such as Bette Midler and The Village People and paved the way for gender-bending performers such as Prince and RuPaul. In tandem with his brazenly showy onstage personality, however, Sylvester's unique voice and skilled musical arrangements bestowed a lasting quality on his work, which remains a seminal hallmark of disco and dance music. Sylvester was born Sylvester James into a middle-class family in Los Angeles, California, probably in 1946, though 1944 and 1947 are sometimes given. He was raised by his grandmother, blues singer Julia Morgan, who taught him to sing and exposed him to a wide variety of music, including blues, jazz, and gospel. At age eight he entered the gospel circuit and began building a career as a gospel singer, but as he entered adolescence he found it increasingly difficult to hide his burgeoning homosexuality.

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”—Sylvester (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Joshua Gamson (Guest Post)*
“You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”—Sylvester (1978) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Joshua Gamson (guest post)* Sylvester Sylvester James (1947-1988) was in some ways an unlikely star: an androgynous, cross-dressing, openly gay, African American, falsetto-singing, unapologetically flaming man-diva influenced primarily by church women, black blues singers, drag queens, hippies, and homosexuals. In the 1970s and 80s, Sylvester rode his marginality right into the mainstream--a star not despite the boundaries of race, gender, and sexuality he crossed but because of them--becoming an international disco sensation and an enduring icon of queer self-determination. Sylvester rode to stardom on the wave of liberation movements that shared with him a taste for the strange, the over-the-top, the fantastical, and that aimed, like him, for pleasure, self- determination, shamelessness, and the ecstasy of blurred boundaries. He embodied a simple set of diva-driven inspirational imperatives that have continued to inspire: be free; be fabulous; be real. The San Francisco-based singer’s “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” became the soundtrack of sexual and gender liberation movements largely because it articulated a revolution you could dance to. It almost didn’t. The song dominated the disco charts in 1978 and has had a vibrant life since then, but it actually began as a mid-tempo rhythm and blues ballad written by Sylvester’s bandmate and keyboard player James (“Tip”) Wirrick. As recounted by Wirrick and other band members, Sylvester blew in late to a rehearsal, heard the tune, and impatiently waved for the band to stop.

Sylvester's Step II
Sylvester’s Step II: Sylvester Taught Me How to Be Queer Peter Piatkowski I’m an atheist, but I believe that Sylvester is my guardian angel. I believe he watches over all of us nelly queens, sissies, nancyboys, and marys who sought solace and escape on a dance floor. Sylvester is no mere disco diva, but our Francis Scott Key. The United States has The Star Spangled Banner but we have “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real).” Sylvester That song – six and a half minutes of thumping, pulsing glory – was the first song that I remember speaking to me directly as a queer man. It was explicitly queer and Step II unapologetically so. It encapsulated a moment in time in queer history before AIDS 09/1978 destroyed the hedonistic innocence enjoyed by gay guys who partied hard, took recreational drugs, and had lots of sex. Sylvester – born Sylvester James, Jr. – was part of Fantasy the rich tradition of black soulful singers who found success with disco. Step II is his fourth album and his best. It’s the kind of album that wedded the frivolity of disco with the church-steeped gospel that informed Sylvester’s gravity-defying voice. Step II is easily dismissed and ignored by music and rock critics because it’s a disco record and disco supposedly sucks. It’s not a coincidence that mainstream music criticism takes a dim view of a genre of music dominated by queer folks and people of color. Disco has an unfortunate reputation because of “Disco Duck” and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, but “respectable” genres of popular music like prog rock, rap, and rock all have their embarrassing nadirs.

PRC Honors the Legacy of Sylvester, “Queen of Disco,” at “Mighty Real” Gala, Oct. 6 in San Francisco
Media Contacts: Gus Nodal Landis Communications Inc. (415) 359-2320 [email protected] www.landispr.com PRC Honors the Legacy of Sylvester, “Queen of Disco,” at “Mighty Real” Gala, Oct. 6 in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (Sept. 5, 2017) – In the mood for a night of disco dancing for a good cause? Positive Resource Center (PRC), a San Francisco-based nonprofit whose mission is to assist people living with HIV/AIDS, mental health or substance use issues, celebrates 30 years of service with its annual fundraising gala, Mighty Real, on Friday, Oct. 6 at the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco. Hosted by LGBTQ rights pioneer, Ken Jones, and Michelle Meow, of The Michelle Meow Show, this year’s gala honors singer-songwriter, Sylvester. His popular Sheryl Lee Ralph (left) and Sylvester (right) “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” single reached Billboard’s Top 40 in 1979, earning him the coveted “Queen of Disco” title by fans worldwide. An activist who campaigned against the spread of HIV/AIDS, Sylvester died in 1998 from complications related to the disease. In his will, Sylvester directed royalties from all future sales of his music to two San Francisco-based HIV/AIDS organizations: AIDS Emergency Fund (which merged with PRC in 2016) and Project Open Hand. The evening’s gala festivities include a cocktail reception, three-course dinner, live entertainment, silent/live auctions and an after party featuring DJ Lamont. During the event, PRC is honoring actor and philanthropist Sheryl Lee Ralph with the inaugural Sylvester Community Pillar Award. Ralph landed her breakthrough role as Deena Jones in the Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, for which she received a Tony nomination for “Best Actress in a Musical.” In addition, she is the founding director of the nonprofit Divinely Inspired Victoriously Aware (DIVA) Foundation, which seeks to utilize the arts as a vehicle to raise HIV/AIDS awareness.
