Sylvester | You Make Me Feel | Live 1978

[@Wild1995]

Wow, this would have been such a hard song to pull off live and he and his band nailed it! AMAZING

[@christhabadguy3809]

4:18 Im 52 years old. And ive never heard this version Holy shit

[@jamesway]

I am 59 and I saw this when it came out. Don kursners Rock Concert TV show NBC late night late 70's

[@CJH71587]

Classic from 1978-1979! ❤️‍🔥 Happy heavenly 77th birthday to Mr. Sylvester James...🙏🏿💜🕊️ 🎂 ♍

[@tonycalderon2268]

Gees, how gifted was he or what?! LOVE the ending!! Now I really feel reals!! YAY

[@tomtalker2000]

Sylvester was WAY WAY ahead of his time...!!! Awesome talent and vibes. And a great human being.

[@seanjenkins331]

Vocally, Sylvester had an incredible range.

[@mosesxavier8267]

That falsetto

[@jarnec9428]

That band was great as was Sylvester, of course

[@renhoek3851]

Fair play to that bass player for playing that line at that speed with what looks like two fingers!!

[@blktenor]

Right! Cuz this is break neck speed!! 😂

[@drew5988]

We really need a film about his life, he was pioneering.

[@DiscoMood]

There was an off Broadway show about Sylvester that was really good. They wanted to get it actually on Broadway, but I don't think the funding was available for it. I went to see it it and it was devine. It may be on KZbin.

[@Sofiaa164]

This man is a blessing from heaven. He has an amazing voice

[@albertodf1234]

3:05 the immortal PATRICK COWLEY, the Forever underrated genius of electronic music

[@alexdelgado2265]

Saw him in San Fran at a small disco in the early 80s. I wish I could remember that clubs name. It was packed, everyone vibin hard!

[@RoseJ143]

RIP Sylvester you will always be missed, and never forgotten 🙏

[@tymxeluv5476]

This band is so good at reinterpret this electronic music. The horns make this version so dope Sylvester & 2 Tons of Fun turned in an excellent vocal enhancent. 🔥🔥

[@lfreiremolina]

we dont see something like this today ! is really astonishing

[@jameslawson6245]

Sylvester, an amazing singer, and to have back up choral is what he he as brought up with!

[@bluehunter4173]

What a legend, a god of music😘

[@spookym123]

Often overlooked, Sylvester had one of the best falsettos EVER!

[@asbjrnbraanaas2110]

🔥!Patrick Cowley on synth, Sylvester and the others - words cant describe - sensation to see this video.

[@fernandoparedes8969]

Gracias por compartir este video, nunca lo había visto... Se decía que Patrick Cowley solo se había visto en otro video y que no existía un segundo video donde apareciera, aquí se ve que eso no era tan asi, ahí aparece el genio detrás de tan talentoso cantante. En los teclados Patrick Cowley, en el coro el dúo Two Tons of Fun liderado por la gran Martha Wash quien después se haría famosa con the weather Girls, C+C músic Factory, Black Box, Stevie Wonder, RuPaul entre varios más y delante haciendo gala de un registro inigualable, el que cantaba con falsete pero tenía voz de varitono... Sylvester James. Inolvidables talentos. Igualitos a Bad Bunny y Peso Pluma, igualitos 😅😅😅😅

[@isaeus_]

10000000% positive energy ❤❤❤

[@Altamira_]

Sylvester was a great artist

[@Timothylloydblues]

Yes my musical influence, Sylvester is the truth for me

[@lizbradshaw5747]

This is fabulous!

[@rasta487]

Perfect word

[@barnabirap]

Sylvester's Higher Presence can be felt when you are flowing with his music. 🌌💜

[@utuber8xx]

2:15 Patrick Cowley on synth...........

[@Pootjuice]

The bassist go crazy!!

[@funkaholic1972]

Ikr? 😅

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

.....his name....TIP WIRRICK....and he was the MUSICAL DIRECTOR for SYLVESTER....he is the one who came up with the music for this song....and SLY....wrote the words....and the rest is HISTORY....

[@emarmoya4479]

I love you Sylvester for ever and ever ❤

[@xavierdh2000]

Been looking for this clip for the longest time it is straight up church with Izora and Martha just beautiful. Still looking for the Martha Wash unsung clips with her and Izora at the piano 🎹 singing 😊

[@MyFavourites1]

Wow wow wow… 🔥🔥🔥🔥and from 4:19 absolutely blown away

[@LegionIvory]

There's a recorded version of the reprise, too. I love it!

[@tremaynelewis5059]

Genius at work

[@ThaSmilester317]

My mom introduced me to this man when i was 13, maybe 14. I love this song, but could never find the slowed down ending version...until now. Thanks, KZbin and thanks to the person who posted this.

[@geraintedwards5034]

You can hear the slow version also on the LP

[@castoputa]

Your mum is a very very very amazing lady! ❤

[@elsoven3836]

In the living proof vinyl you can find the slowed down version!

[@dieckerle9294]

Love and still miss Sylvester

[@42abyz]

Rest In Power

[@robtok1968]

It’s WAY too fast. But he was an absolute legend. Rest In Peace dear heart ♥️

[@robertocrescenzi1789]

Right tempo on record, I agree! Great performance though! ❤

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

They are most likely on powder and need the upbeat tempo to match their mood

[@lolanifenring2692]

slow it down to 0.85x playback speed, in the settings

[@Consrignrant]

​@@AnAdorableWombat1 What a load of bull shit. By the way, it's a myth that you can perform high. On the rare occasion that someone performs high the performance is poor or a catastrophe. Some may get high afterwards.

[@Readyteddygo]

It’s not very often that an artist sounds just as good live as they do on the recorded version.

[@kevinharris3993]

These singers today can't compare to the incomparable Sylvester.

[@Consrignrant]

@Kevin Harris Of course they can. Don't be ridiculous.

[@EdgarDiaz-w3j]

Solo el venezolano Jesús Enrique Divine,que está creo en Miami!

[@sensationsmag]

This is the first time I've seen this version, with the slow conclusion. Outstanding. The Hot Band was so great, but seeing this video makes me wonder: Are any of these original Hot Band members still alive in 2022, and if so, which ones?

[@bigsatanloaf]

I think the Hot Band split in 1974.

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

.....the bass player in this video....Tip Wirrick....is still alive.....

[@edwardstack7301]

ONE Y ONLY 'SYLVESTER'. REST IN PEACE IN HEAVEN. SINGING WITH THE ANGELS. 🙏🙏🙏❤️⚘️

[@jmendleson19]

yaaaaaaaas 👏🏾

[@stregori1]

The breakdown at the end, awesome. Don't forget folks, those are the Weather Girls. And, if you remember C and C Music Factory, Gonna Make You Sweat, that's Ms. Martha Wash.

[@ayoq9956]

Sing Slyvester!!!!

[@lisamccray9079]

Another singer I liked 👍 from the 80's nice music 🎶 🎵

[@Modernaire]

Simply incredible.

[@donsolis12]

Just AWESOME!

[@bclislife]

YESSS

[@bclislife]

His highest notes are reminiscent of Aretha in the 80s

[@tonysmith6166]

WOW AMAZING

[@RutgerS.]

Great to see Patrick Cowley on the synthesizer! Sad that he was not credited in any way on this release, though he had a lot of influence on the way this track turned out to be.

[@hillbaby02]

Mighty Real and Dance Disco Heat are the truth. Sylvester and The Two Ton are flat foot sangin

[@allanosvemos77]

The bass man is going to have a hearth attack😮, waht a velocity!

[@thatboycjsings]

There harmony is so tight is Sylvester singing the alto part??

[@jeframp3805]

its a little lower than the studio track in parts I am almost sure or sung with a deeper tone. It doesn't sound as high.

[@jameslawson6245]

The best thing about Sylvester was He wanted Large back up singers! He knew from his Church Choir days that they are Great singers!

[@eaqua56]

I don’t think their size has anything to do with it. They were talented singers

[@jameslawson6245]

@@eaqua56 Syvester Demanded it, he wanted large back up singers. watch his Documentary..

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

@@eaqua56 ...he always said he wanted two large women on each side of him so that he could look slimmer...MARTHA has always told the story of he was auditioning for background singers and he had just finished auditioning two skinny girls and he quickly sent them home so she could audition....and after she had BLOWN HIM AWAY....he asked her did SHE....know of ANOTHER BIG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN that could SING....and she said she had just the girl...and she called MARTHA....and the rest is HISTORY....the thing that always moved me greatly was HE said that he took ONE LOOK at MARTHA....and HE KNEW SHE COULD SING...
