Sylvester deserves a FULL documentary or film even! But still, this was very nice. They need to release all those tv performances on a dvd!!

Sylvester was amazing. I still dance to his music to this day. His voice was a combination of soul and gospel. I will love him forever!

Sylvester was one of a kind. Next to my favorite performer James Brown, he (and Adeva) hold icon status in my heart. Their music never gets old! They brought me so much joy throughout the years and I will cherish and continue to play them for years to come. Sylvester was absolutely, truly THA BOMB!

I saw the Cockettes and Sylvester at The Palace in North Beach San Francisco back in the '70's. I met all of them and fell madly in love! Pride Parades and Sylvester's music is like nothing or nobody had ever seen before. WE all loved Sylvester. I was at the Parade and saw Sylvester proud and ill...it was heartbreaking but we cheered him on and embraced him with love.

Thank God for Sylvester. He sayshayed through many back doors so the Billy Porter's, EJ Johnson's, RuPaul's etc could shante through the front! I only wish he was still here to see how far we've come... ❤😔😪

AIDS has robbed us of many great artists, including Sylvester. He was only 41 and he still had more music to give us. He had a very unique sound. That guy was a bit out there, but he brought us some awesome music. May he rest in peace.

Got so emotional while watching this. The highs, the lows, such a consistent positive message to send the world. Thank you Sylvester. Thank you Barry.

Beautiful Documentary! I wish it was much longer. Sylvester was a trailblazer and icon. He helped pave the way for Black LGBTQ artists. He deserves more recognition!

This was great, but I wish it were 10,000x longer.

One of the greatest artist of our time. His timeless music filled my dance floor for many years. RIP Sylvester.... With love from your many fans.

I loved Sylvester's style and music back in the days when I was a child. Distinct voice impeccable style flawless complexion...... I'm grown up and I still listen to his music. I'll always BE a fan.

Tears in my eyes, my heart bleeding. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul. Thank you. Least we forgot ❤

Sylvester looked just like his mother and sister!! Wow!!

My mother says I would climb up on the coffee table and dance every time Sylvester (and Natalie Cole!) came on the radio! Thank you SO MUCH for this!!

Thank you SO much for this. Sylvester is an Icon we should never forget. He was the embodiment of "Realness"and living your truth. Whenever I'm down his music lifts me up. Just a beautiful, genuine and caring human being. The world is a richer place for having been blessed with his spirit. Gone but NEVER forgotten. Love you always Sylvester and thank you for everything.💋♥️💯

i SAW sYLVESTER SINGING IN A CLUB IN PARIS FRANCE AT THE END OF HIS LIFEAND EVEN IF HIS BODY WAS.....DIFFERENT, HIS VOICE WAS STILL AMAZING. LOVED HIM

For those wanting a longer look at Sylvester's life and career, there was an episode of TVOne's Unsung series devoted to him. It's available here. Just search for Unsung and then scroll through the available titles (it didn't come up when I searched for both Sylvester and Unsung, for some reason).

There is nothing that he did that did not bring joy. I was fortunate to see him once at the Blue Parrot in West Hollywood. He wasn't in all his fabulous regalia but there was no mistaking our Fairy Godmother was in the house. I miss you, I miss all my long departed way too soon friends and can't wait to join that party. Thanks for posting, it made me happy and sad at the same time.

Words cannot express how much I love Sylvester. The next logical step is a full- bio-pic. This is what is needed now. Please!

40 years later and no one has come close. This music, yes, THIS music has stood the test of time. This singer and artist stands the test of time and transcends his death. I wonder how many other music acts of that time can claim the same.

Sylvester still lives in the hearts of every single person who wants to be completely different without any type of regrets. He was the Epitome of JUST BE YOURSELF AND LOVE WHAT AND WHO YOU ARE ALWAYS!❤👍🇵🇷❤

My fav song of his is "Hey thats no way to say Goodbye". His vocals were crazy!!

Thank you beautiful Sylvester for sharing your music, your heart, and yourself with the world. You are still impacting lives

One of the best artists of all time , love his voice

His life must be told in a film! Urgently!! We can't forget it, we must celebrate our culture!

Sylvester was an icon for the lgbtqi and more in the world! Groundbreaking, not afraid to be who he was and not care what anyone thought. He made music and lived his life and as he said towards the end, he didn't regret a thing. Hoping that the youngers today find out about Sylvester and explore lots of his music so they can enjoy it too.

This needed to be longer... Sylvester, next to Jobriath, is one of the most important gay figures in popular music history

My Icon👸🏿 His story needs to be told Asap💜

Sylvester was one of the greatest singers ever...I have all of his albums...I believe the best one was "Stars"...he put his entire soul into it...

Sylvester and Martha Wash are so great !!

He was bold and so happy with his self love Sylvester😊

Long Live Sylvester

Discovered him in the 90s and it all made sense

I HAVE EVERY VINYL!! This made me emotional!!

Loved it wish it were longer

Amazing, inspiring and celebratory. The power of owning your truth and the freedom of being able to live as yourself.

Love this doc...but there MUST be a 'Sylvester' movie!!!

LEGENDARY. Thank you Tabak and Walters for this. The live album captured on that night with the "glittered" San Francisco Symphony is one of my absolute favorites ever.

I sorely miss Sylvester.... Dance with me in the Disco Heat!! There's Only One You🎙️♥️🌟

Thanks for this documentary. Sylvester was one of a kind and the best falsetto singer I have ever heard. Since "You make me feel" came out, I`m a fan of him. Still I listen to his music very often. Gone much too soon, but not forgotten.

You make me feel mighty real!

Very moving, and not just dance. His legacy will live on and on.

A fabulous icon!

I was wondering when they are going too make a biopic about him. 🥰

Sylvester deserves more than a fifteen minute documentary.

Sylvester Forever! ❤

I am so surprised that there seems to be no video footage of him at the Opera House. I would have loved to see that performance.

SYLVESTER was a true friend. He was generous sweet kind & loving. I use to design hand painted wearable kimonos robes & long panels of painted silk that he would wrap & tie into wearable art. We 1st met at the COCKETTES shows. I will ALWAYS LOVE SYLVESTER ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey! Wish they would have also covered his "All I Need¨ album, still I'm thankful for Tip Wirrick being in the video and the rare footage.

Man I do love me some Sylvester.

It's impossible not to dance when you hear Sylvester's music

Such a trailblazer who paved the way for the likes of,Boy George,Lil' Naz x,Sam Harris...to name a few.Still listening!R.I.H.,musical genius!!!🕺🕺🕺🎧🎤🎛🎶🎵🎙

What an inspiration Sylvester was to me with his music and being proud......

He was out loud and proud and bold to be his self in the time when it was too dangerous to be gay he was a warrior didn't let no one dim his shine due to his life love me some Sylvester still listening to him July 2nf 2020. Sylvester sung like he was a Gospel singer and could rock you😊

So wonderful and inspiring. Thank you!!!
