    Nice background piece. But you forgot to even mention his smash hit, "You Make me Feel." That song absolutely rocked! It practically invented the genre of house music all on it's own. You can't listen to that song without feeling uplifted! Nobody can stay still when that song plays! Check out the video, it still rocks to this day!

    His sexuality was an open secret much like Lil Richard, Luther Vandross, and Jermaine Stewart, you don't even have to ask, you ALREADY knew...

    trailblazer he was, but Little Richard was bold and flashy long before Sylvester was even though he never actually reached the point of cross dressing (not that I saw, anyway)
