I've had this album for years, since my days of trawling the charity shops of Bletchley, which is a whole tale in itself. But I've only just realised how fabulous Sylvester was. So `You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)' is one of the most joyous and memorable disco hits ever, but there's a lot more to Sylvester than disco. Together with his backing singers Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes (later to record in their own right as the Two Tons Of Fun and The Weather Girls), Sylvester also recorded many soul and gospel influenced tracks. It's often mentioned that `Mighty Real' started life as a gospel song, but it's less known that you can find this version of the song as the `Epilogue' on this album. The album was issued on CD doubled up with the `Sylvester' album at one point, but now seems to be impossible to get hold of. So I've had to rip most of these tracks from my old 50p vinyl. Hope I've managed to clean them up OK. I love the chit-chat between Sylvester and the girls on `Dance' and `Was It Something That I Said'. Great stuff. "It's a FABULOUS club. Look at all the FABULOUS people"! Quite.
