[@noavgjoe]

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.

[@raych54]

Popoopooooooo

[@giannicaicedo8753]

Wow!! Good for him

[@PrinzII]

One of my favorite "spirited" driving songs.

[@Janeair41....]

We miss You Sylvester, those songs ... made the clubs, spots, backyard, parties, and the like be, Thumpin' Jumpin'. Tell me I'm wrong! Take care all, and live the safest kindest, fullest, and most intellectual way going forth . Respectfully posted.✌🌹

[@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.

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

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

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.

[@BROTHAFLYNSOLO]

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!

[@djcapitallD]

The roots of House, the piano n strings are majestic & a vocal to die for...I have never seen the Fantasy 12"

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

[@antonigeli294]

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 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.

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.

[@charleswhite7111]

Paradise Garage! Nuff said!❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

[@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.

[@makingmnz7564]

I'm assuming you have found the mix by now, but in case you haven't, it's titled Dim's Sunday Morning mix.

[@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.

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
