R.I.P. Sylvester! Anyone who was in the Bay Area or NYC during the mid-70's to early-80's got a taste of paradise on Earth and I'm not just talking about the sex, drugs and rock and roll. There was a feeling of love & happiness the Castro, Polk Street, The West Village (I'm sure there were other places but those were the places I frequented) unlike any time or place in the universe. I can you without exegerating, it was a magical time. I would gladly hand over these last 23 years to have just one year more year from those days. 💔

Hedonism always has its cost.

[@unfluster]

​@@JustinLHopkins - It wasn't entirely Hedonism. America was also having a cultural renaissance. The cost of living was low. The quality of life was high. If you want to talk about the cost of Hedonism you might want to consider the current opioid crisis which has killed more than half a million.

[@JustinLHopkins]

@@unfluster Opioid addiction is not hedonism. It’s a health crisis. Studio 54 is the definition of modern hedonism. Drugs everywhere, people fucking all over the place, and even deaths occurred. The club was literally stuffed to the ceiling in drugs and anonymous sex was rampant. I have no issue with this and if I had a time machine, I’d make 54 one of my stops. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that this period in time was not hedonistic. Again, hedonism always carries a cost. Burning the candle at both ends never leads to anything good. I will say that the creativity flowing in NYC during the 70’s/80’s was unparalleled and we lost so many talented and creative people. We can never get that back and New York will never be the same. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You can only party for so long before something inevitably explodes.

I've never listened to song because it's of a particular genre but because I like it. I was born in 1955 when we didn't have the copious choices of TV, radio, etc. like we do now. We watched whatever was on and some radio stations we couldn't pick up until after sunset. My hometown had CBS, NBC and PBS only when I was growing up.

He was a gem for "music lovers"!😍😍😍

[@Starr0809]

Hey, I’m not gay, but I still think of him as a rare gem

Sylvester was giving looks huuunnnty! Song is a classic. And Bob the drag Queen lip sync was iconic on his season of Drag race.

PLEASE REST IN PEACE.............. SYLVESTER YOU ARE MISSED BY YOUR FANS........ GOD-BLESS !!!!!!

[@SHAV162]

Dad would make me and my brother dance in the living room at home without knowing what this great musical rhythm was. Today I am 32 years old and thanks to dad this music is magic to my ears.

[@audreylesser9800]

I just saw a commercial and they played a bit of the song. I immediately went to look for it. So many memories this song brought back! Still love it today.

[@sophia357ss]

Me too! I just had to come to the video!

Was a commercial about a paco rabane perfume?

[@audreylesser9800]

@@AlbertoPerez-1996 no, I don't even remember it now. Doesn't even matter. Just a point I was trying to make.

I Love Sylvester and am sad she’s gone. I love her videos are still here.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

He was a man

[@asturiasceltic3183]

The best disco song hands down, if not one of the best dance tracks ever. I had friends who lived in San Francisco during this time and they would see Sylvester on a moped and he really did dress like this. He was a pioneer. Long live Sylvester and Patrick Cowley.

[@SuedeSavage]

One of the best disco tracks ever produced IMHO.

[@franciscoxavier5812]

Só quem viveu isso pode imaginar a sensação de dançar essa obra de arte

[@herecomesforego1787]

Unquestionably

[@amrazim4029]

I remember when it first came out - WOW! It was over 20 minutes - people went wild at every disco in the World.

[@kevinbland]

Bittersweet watching this video. So many wonderful people lost to that disease. He was a very talented person.

[@elliottgregory9539]

The One and Only Sylvester...

[@bmw3842]

Thank You Sylvester for being the trendsetter that you were and leading the pack. You were fearless and unapologetic RIP

[@TickityBoo70]

I was 8 years old when this came out and boy - I was totally bewitched by this beautiful man (straight female by the way lol!). The whole aesthetic, sound and energy was the bomb! This was the first ever record that a bought - money well spent!!!! ❤

[@katsadler]

I love how serious Sylvester is about the message, the fan, the dancers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@2ToyBoys]

I drive around town listening to this, especially when I'm sad. I imagine Slyvester in my passenger seat and what he would be telling me, or screaming, and just having a great time. I listen to this a lot with my friend Lynnette. From one flamer to another, thank you Slyvester. You are not forgotten.

[@cherryberry2423]

I love that you do that!

[@michaelgaynor6866]

[@paintycali3426]

I was about 12 yrs old when my older sister 17 yrs old borrowed this album from a school friend. Well, l was not letting her give it back. I kept on listening to this album in the attic full blast everyday after school. I just want to thank Sylvester for the best music I've ever heard, even by today's standards.

[@stoicafanel]

I am agreed

[@donjohnson7550]

Today’s standards aren’t the highest really, those days’ standards are the highest actually.

I saw Sylvester a few times in his later days in the ‘80s. He was the real deal. Such a sad loss when the scourge took him.

I just turned 41 & i love Sylvester!! I wish i was alive when this came out! It seems like it was a fabulous time 😊

[@goosterhoudt4573]

I saw him perform in a half empty bar on a Wednesday night in Atlanta. The only people who were there were bar employees and me. He was fabulous, complete with silver eyeshadow.

[@charlescharles5354]

What an incredible experience. In an odd coincidence I’m about to send this song to a friend in Atlanta to add to her birthday playlist.
