This song turned my cousin into a House Head. He used to ride the train from Gary to Chicago in the summer and when he heard this there was no turning back. Sylvester killed it!!!

[@presterjohn1697]

Legendary train route too.

The FABULOUS SYLVESTER 🎉❤❤❤ WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

[@thomasbrown3356]

This cut is a huge staple of the Chicago House music scene. I first heard this at The Playground in 1984. Didn't care for it, at first. But like most legendary House music classics, it became inseparable from the rest.

[@sheroncyrus2448]

Nyc as well!

[@richardsvec874]

The strength in his voice. Goosebumps.

[@josephjones7298]

This song has the perfect groove 2 it .The orchestration was off the chain & Ms. Sylvester was slaying it 2 no ends. The children used 2 lose their minds. The violins r sic🙏Amen 2 real dance 🎶🎶🎵.

[@TriciaR4734]

I saw Sylvester & 2 Tons of Fun at MSG in NYC 1980 and that show was unbelievable. RIP ❤️🙏🏽

[@nomebear]

I saw him perform at Backstreet in Fr. Lauderdale. Owwww myyyyy!!!!! I miss him, and I miss his talent.

[@sublimelove23]

him and many other prominent artists used to always perform in LA too, unfortunately far before my time. Man what i would give to see him at a disco club and dance my ass off.

Outstanding!....A Certified Club/Disco Classic...I remember hearing this for the first time at The Paradise Garage here in New York...My favorite Sylvester Song, After Someone Like You!

[@mannypintado8349]

This was definitely a True Artist. His music was unique. All his Greatest Classics were loved by everyone who danced at The Garage, Loft, Studio, Zanz, Funhouse.

[@TheDanceluver37]

Disco perfection

[@VincentVega-k5z]

I will never ever stop hearing and dancing to Sylvester music his voice is amazing like it’s coming from deep inside of his soul I love his voice when I saw everyone in the loft getting into this song it was almost spiritual oh love it Rest In Peace never will I forget this song or Sylvester and the era when it all happen

I'm In my 60's now .......m8ss Sylvester ....rest in peace

[@gameronya]

Without dating myself, I remember this song as a kid. One of Sylvester's best songs.

[@colors-bx7ly]

memories of Chicago summers, home on college break and heading to '161 West' on Fridays and 'The Warehouse' on Saturdays.this is my favorite Sylvester song. i am sooo grateful to have grown up on this music and to have been able to enjoy this music and the good times associated with it back in the day.

[@koolkharisma5298]

I forgot about this hit here. I love but. However I will never forget his last hit before he died, " Someone Like You." back in 1986. I was a freshman at Norfolk State University. I loved the video featuring dancer and actress Debbie Allen.

I remembered listining to this during its release and was so sorry that the public slept on it.

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

We didn’t sleep on it in NEW YORK🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@markpeter4304]

It was an amazing song. It got slept on because of timing. I believe it came out early 1980. There was a severe anti disco movement at that time and this song got caught in its wake and were tossed aside

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

@@markpeter4304 trust me...this song was not slept on🔥🔥

[@markpeter4304]

@@rosemaryrogers1478 perhaps you are correct. But I don't recall it living up to its potential. How high did it chart. And don't give me a Dance Chart because that means nothing.

Absolutley…this song was not slept on in NYC…the children clamored to floor when this came on in the clubs 🏆

I wonder if it's original to the song or it is inspired by a classical composition. Anyway, I can't get enough of those strings!!!!!!! Long live disco

[@Discofunkytrain]

[@brettwilcots8608]

Funny the last time I was in Chicago. Patrick Petty took me to a club that was okay. But because I knew it was Kelly's song. I requested it when they were under pressure to play hip hop. It filled the floor. Classics. Peace.

[@josephjones7298]

This is the music that was 4 serious dancing

[@wendileona]

Anyone ever hear and or know of a recoding of I Need You where it was just Sylvester with piano accompaniment and foot stomping? Sylvester's singing is just incredible, even more so than in the original recording! Piano throughout and I think either he or the piano player is stomping their feet to the beat. I heard the recording once years ago and I never heard it again and I meant to find it. Its like a lost recording, and was either a demo or maybe the original performance, or a rehearsal, high fidelity sound quality too.

[@wendileona]

I'm still, after years and years, looking for a high fidelity demo I once had in MP3 format I found somewhere through Limewire of THIS SONG being performed by Sylvester and piano ONLY. It was absolutely fantastic. He was tearing it up, with acoustic piano accompaniment, nothing else and there was foot stomping. It was almost GOSPEL, it raised the hairs of my arm and was pure joy to listen to. I totally lost it. This is one of my musical quests to FIND that version and if there is a WHOLE session of that may include other songs. Any Sylvester super fans know what I'm talking about? Thank you .::Modernaire
