A cultural icon, former drag queen and the motivator of HI NRG disco, Sylvester’s music has far more than the straight ahead pumping disco of You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real).
A cultural icon, former drag queen and the motivator of HI NRG disco, Sylvester’s music has far more than the straight ahead pumping disco of You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). On this catchall set that follows him into the early ‘80s, there’s also multi layered strings of Can’t Stop Dancing, Down Down Down, with its James Brown gone disco funk mix,
Cry Me A River delivered in the style of Joe Cocker on his Mad Dogs tour and even the gorgeous ballad Oo Baby Baby, a soul standard which Sylvester lets his vocal roll over. Sure, the heads down, air-punching anthems are essential, but there’s lots more here for the connoisseur.
Named album of the year by NME in 1981, Nightclubbing was Jones post-disco epic that saw her elevated to an androgynous high on a fine collection of songs that covered many genres and mixed styles accordingly.
Named album of the year by NME in 1981, Nightclubbing was Jones post-disco epic that saw her elevated to an androgynous high on a fine collection of songs that covered many genres and mixed styles accordingly. The Teutonic Iggy/Bowie title track, the reggae tango of I’ve Seen That Face Before and Demolition Man, written specially for her by The Police, have her traversing lots of audio territory while elsewhere the classy Pull Up To The Bumper show of her vocal skills. With Sly and Robbie and Wally Badarou on board, this is a real landmark album.
