Sylvester - I Need You ( Dim's Super Disco Blend)

[@salsaviolin]

Wow. So good to hear this after so many years. I'm the one that recorded all the strings on this song. My name is Alfredo De La Fé and I still play all over the World. What a nice treat this is.

[@lisacoronadofernandez4422]

Wonderfull !

[@mskellyw583]

i bow 2 u ----great track

[@ellydunn6255]

wow! the strings are beautiful!

[@Musicfiend4ever]

Wow! Alfredito, I had no idea you did the strings on this. Thanks for sharing. A fan of yours since the 70’s.

[@edwinmercado4802]

What a great song. From those 1970's . Music was so beautiful back in the days..

[@davidx4120]

Thank you for the music, Brother!!! It lives on forever & your earth shattering voice😀 This song gives me chills, those voices though!!! It's definitely the Lord!!!

[@ninojones7197]

I live for this guys music... RIP SYLVESTER...

[@davidx4120]

He was an original!!!

[@lr2275]

I truly miss Miss Sylvester !!! She was a FABULOUS EXTRAVAGANZA all by herself!!! There will never be another one like her!

[@davidx4120]

Amen to that, I hate how he died though. So glad he made the music. This is a masterpiece with Martha Wash's incredible vocals. She's also something else😅

[@ernestlamas1403]

This is my nephews computer. Sylvestor is and will always be the best DISCO Singer of all time. He was the QUEEN of Disco for all us guys. We loved Donna Summer but Sylvestor had the HIGH ENERGY that only he could deliver.

[@demarcos69]

Sylvester's voice still gives me chills....One of the best voices of all time

[@davidx4120]

Yes, it was & still is.

[@ellaswing]

What a classic, it doesnt get any better than this.

[@antonellobelmonte7153]

HIGH ENERGY! THANKS, DIMITRI. IMMORTAL SYLVESTER...

[@castoputa]

There's a looooong version that just defies description. That bass. Those thundering piano chords, and how can you use words to describe how these people can siiiiiiiiiiiing??? Live in the beat of our disco hearts Sylvester xxx

[@killuminatoV01]

you have no soul if you don't wanna move to this!! no soul I tell thee!!!

[@btimez1983]

The Strings are the best part!! Perfect :-)

[@Mr7galvin]

Frankie knuckles thank you.I'll never forget this song.Frankie would take the bass out and put it back in. The whole building shook with the spirit.

[@brnardo6]

The version of this that Larry Levan played with the string only intro was, in a word, THRILLING and people would nearly stampede to get ON the dancefloor when they heard it -- that is if we weren't already out there, 'cuz this was such a special, crowd-pleasing classic that from the first notes, we'd start screaming. Thank you Alfredo!!!!

[@mskellyw583]

Frankie Knuckles and my brother turned me on to this song back in the day...my favorite dance of all time thank you dimitri and sylvester!

[@chitownturk121]

Love the Energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lorettabrown9799]

[@Queenesq]

@salsaviolin This is my favorite Sylvester song and a timeless classic. Thank you Mr. De La Fe for contributing your talent to one of my favorite songs!

[@jeanieasmith]

Thank you so much for posting...Alfredo I am a string fanatic and your strings are soooo awesome on this song.......don't forget that Martha Wash is singing also adlibs, with Ella Mitchell, Jeanie Tracy. We went to church on this one...whooooooooo

[@primadonna4535]

jeanie smith - The internet says that you looked after him until the end - god bless you 🙏🏿

[@CarlyWaarly]

Not heard this one, fabulous!

[@sfdennis1]

OH MY GOD! Wow, totally forgot what an awesome Disco jam this was, thanks for posting! Sylvester, I NEED YOU! R.I.P. you awesome angel!

[@johnmcmarlin]

Really love this song & to have heard it again on a great sound system @ Paradise Garage reunion party 7/22/12 was perfection!

[@djmusicjac]

awesome remix, top notch very good sound

[@edwardfields7956]

I play this when i'm getting ready for the club! Lol= classic!

[@MegaLiesbeth]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOMEEEEEE!!! I NEED THIS!

[@stepper7023]

This is on full-blast while I go through the posts. accept the music people. I can admit that my Southern church upbringing has me at odds with the lifestyle. That has nothing to to me accepting the fact that SYLVESTER ruled the disco sound.

[@so9205]

It is a LIFE not a lifestyle! Matthew 7:1-3 NIV “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

[@FUNKYMAN104]

The great SYLVESTER !!!!!

[@edithsantiago3600]

Une sublime musique que j'ai toujours aimer, aimerait jusqu'à la fin !! j'adore besos

[@martinejoscet2260]

Que de souvenirs..... Avec cette musique, plus mal au dos, envie de bouger, et oui je danse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seule, mais je danse. Bisous

[@FUNKYMAN104]

Je vois que mon amie Robin est une connaisseuse !!!!!!!!!

[@edithsantiago3600]

Je confirme Martine, quand on écoute cette musique on a qu'une envie, bouger, seule où accompagné, la musique et la danse sont un sacré traitement pour le moral , bisous .

[@supachaloopa3611]

Dimitri Of Paris did 2 remixes of this song- this one above and one called Sunday Morning Mix, that is also here on youtube. When Two Tons Of Fun parted ways with Sylvester at the end of 1979 and recorded their self-titled debut album for release in 1980, Sylvester simply replaced them with Jeanie Tracy and 2 other girls for the 1980 SELL MY SOUL album- Jeanie's voice is the big powerful one you hear throughout the whole album. Martha did sing backup on one track- a dance version of Peggy Lee's classic "FEVER".

[@currter]

Thank you Alfredo for those strings especially in the break down part. It was because of your strings that I bought The Original Hits by Sylvester. You must have had fun recording this song "I Need You." It is fun listening to it.

[@swpier29]

Dear Alfredo, Your name is totally awesome and so is your string playing. Cheers.

bel remix del grande sylvester

[@hupendimusikiwangu]

@salsaviolin fantastic !!! :)

[@1blessedbrotha]

The beg to differ with anyone who thinks the background vocals were Martha Wash an Izora Rhodes. They were in fact were done by Jeanne Tracy an Ella Holte, accomplished studio vocalist an friends of Martha. Sylvester had already fallen out with Martha an Izora by this time, so other vocalist were brought in to do this song. Personally, I've never heard this record spun better than the "hurt" the late Larry Levan put on it one nite at the Paradise Garage!

[@Greenpenguin7]

@LoveMusicLover2012 @lr2275: LoveMusicLover, I think it's pretty obvious that lr2275 knows that Sylvester 'is' a man from the context...'Fabulous Extravaganza' in all caps...that this was just gay slang e.g. Miss Thing, Ms Honey etc. It's all good...let's just enjoy the great Sylvester in all his/her glory. Plus it can never be anything wrong with being called the 'other' sex...the life givers/bearers. And yes Sylvester was a true hu-Man 4 BE-ing true to the Light of
