tar, Sylvester represented the black and gay cultural origins of disco and made it possible for RuPaul's success. His body of work includes crucial contributions to the disco songbook, but his ballads proved he was a versatile stylist who brought a realness and depth to all material. Oddly enough, after years of paying dues with small record companies, Sylvester found himself on Warner B
rothers for his album 'Mutual Attraction'. The single 'Someone Like You', released in 1986, had a Larry Levan mix, but Sylvester was unable to take full advantage of his new resources as he was diagnosed with AIDS. He stopped performing, but stayed in the spotlight to raise awareness about the disease. He died in 1988, only 40 but with a legacy that will forever endure.Click the link below to download the following:
