Singer Sylvester James was born on September 6, 1947. Sylvester was a singer, songwriter, and performer known for his contributions to the disco and dance music genres.
Rising to prominence in the disco era of the 1970s and 1980s, Sylvester crafted a unique and unforgettable sound that resonated with audiences worldwide. His chart-topping hit, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” remains a timeless anthem of self-expression and liberation.
Tragically, Sylvester’s life was cut short when he passed away at the age of 41 in 1988, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of music and an enduring influence on the LGBTQ+ community.
On what would have been his 76th birthday, we celebrate Sylvester’s enduring impact on the world of music and beyond.
