About Sylvester: Born in 1947 and raised in the Pentacostal church, Sylvester was a groundbreaking, gender-bending, disco diva of the 70s and 80s who got his start in a group known as The Cockettes. Responsible for chart-topping hits like "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", "Dance (Disco Heat)", and "Do You Wanna Funk", Rolling Stone ranked Sylvester at 169th on their list of Greatest Singers of All Time. Sylvester unapologetically discussed and celebrated his queerness, including in 1986 on "The Late Show starring Joan Rivers" where he announced his marriage to a man, long before marriage equality was legal.
