I've never listened to song because it's of a particular genre but because I like it. I was born in 1955 when we didn't have the copious choices of TV, radio, etc. like we do now. We watched whatever was on and some radio stations we couldn't pick up until after sunset. My hometown had CBS, NBC and PBS only when I was growing up. We got an ABC station when I was in high school just before cable TV was a thing in our area.

@JustinLHopkins

@@unfluster Opioid addiction is not hedonism. It’s a health crisis. Studio 54 is the definition of modern hedonism. Drugs everywhere, people fucking all over the place, and even deaths occurred. The club was literally stuffed to the ceiling in drugs and anonymous sex was rampant. I have no issue with this and if I had a time machine, I’d make 54 one of my stops. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that this period in time was not hedonistic. Again, hedonism always carries a cost. Burning the candle at both ends never leads to anything good. I will say that the creativity flowing in NYC during the 70’s/80’s was unparalleled and we lost so many talented and creative people. We can never get that back and New York will never be the same. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You can only party for so long before something inevitably explodes.

Disco at it's best, absolute classic track.

The never-ending waiters on the balcony at 2:48 are giving me life. Such an icon and what an iconic song from my younger days. Thank you and bless you, Sylvester. Rest in POWER.

He was a human unicorn....he set the bar for everyone else to imitate but NEVER come close.

A perfect example of the perfect match between a singer and a song. A truly amazing performance by Sylvester!

This song is definitely a top disco hit . Very talented band and Singer 👍

We love you Sylvester ! I was a disco dj. Your music is "classic disco" !❤

How can you not move with such good vibes? May you rest in peace my darling Sylvester

This is so joyous. I ADORE this song, this video, this DISCO CLASSIC and Sylvester, so sad you’re gone but what a legacy this is.

The best 70's hits 🔥🔥🔥 Love it ,the legendary song 🙂😉💪💪👍👍👍 Let's danceeee🕺💃 ✨✨✨✨✨ Love from Croatia 🇭🇷❣️ 2023

You’re grandparents we’re not typical of teens in the 70s I was a teen then and can tell you everyone I knew couldn’t care less about people being gay, most musicians seem to be that way and it’s fine, true we joked about it but nobody I knew wished diverse people any harm. Without gay artists over the years we would not have such a rich back catalogue of music to listen to 👍

In the 70s people didn't care who was gay or not, it was nothing to see straight people (guys and girls) in the gay clubs (Proof - watch Natalie Coles video for the song "Party Lights" and you'll see clips from Studio 54). People were free to be themselves no matter who they were. What happened to that era? When did things change? What caused the change? As Marvin Gaye would say "What's Going On?"

@@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497 Actually, her grandparents were very typical of teens in the 1970s. Especially if she is an American. Only 30% of Americans in 1976 believed homosexual relations between consenting adults should be legal. Less than 10% of Americans thought being gay was something someone was born as. Hell, I grew up in the 1980s and for the vast majority of teens then, being gay was the ultimate taboo. Homophobia was absolutely rife in society. We may have come a long way, but let's not sugarcoat the past and look back with rose-tinted glasses.

To say people didn't care, must be from large cities. Because down south in the bible belt, my 20 year old grandma waa going to church twice a week and wearing slips. She wasn't going out dancing or listening to Disco, that was the 'devil's music. '

Bro. Sylvester I honor your life and the contribution you made to the Earth. What a beautiful voice you had and a beautuful man you are. I'm so sorry how the church failed you. From one survivor of CSA to another I love you and praise our God for your life. Be at rest and finally free from the harm life can inflict. Reign with the King of kings. He knew your heart❤️🙋🏾‍♀️👏🏾

Ran into him at a dance club in Toronto once…only had a second to say hi but he was wearing the softest leather gloves I’ve ever touched…thanks Sylvester for great songs and great memories

The ONE & ONLY: SYLVESTER. With that AMAZING Disco-Church falsetto. And PRESENCE. Beautiful PERSON & Spirit. Phenomenal Artist. Miss ya; left this Earth way too soon like many others. Hope he knows how much of an IMPACT he had on this World not just as far as being BLACK AND QUEER but simply AS A HUMAN BEING.

What a brave man and what a fantastic song to dance to. Yes, I did and still relive those memories of those amazing times. I soo admire those that weren't scared to come out then. I say medals for them all, and rest in peace, could you? probably not, you were soo alive.

@Troy Black Thankfully this is not Medieval Europe and you the Grand Inquisitor. You certainly have the surname to match! It took the world centuries to get rid of most bigots like yourself. Think, (John 8:7) Do you fit into that category?

I remember me and my other 7 siblings always requesting our parents to play this song when they started drinking....We All would be dancing our butts off..play that song again momma!! Awesome times in the 70's

I love it!! This man could not live any other way but his true authentic self. I will forever love you Sylvester ❤

I’ve always loved his music. I saw him perform in NY and Montreal, but I really regret not having met him. I hope to see Martha Wash.

Undoubtedly one of the top disco tracks ever recorded...!!!

This is fab!! Have this on vinyl...Amazing how sexuality back in the 70's was seen .. and how it is seen now. Pioneers like Sylvester and others brought attention to the fact there is a diversity of people in the world AND WE SHOULD respect that and each other xxx

Sorry Angela it's a much accepted urban myth that gay people hid in the shadows and were looked down on during the 1970s/80s but I can tell you being an old bloke in my 70s that there were many disco clubs frequented by gay people and there were also many gay dating organisations . My girlfriend and I spent many nights boogying on the dance floor with gay friends. And I might add dancing to black music.

This was 1978 and Sylvester was true to himself and a lot of people accepted him a such. Today there's too many that are more concerned about virtual signaling than being themselves and people can spot fakeness. In an interview, Sylvester talked about the problems he had with some in the gay community because he wouldn't "do it their way".
