Sylvester: Mighty Real

[BE THE FIRST TO RATE THIS MOVIE]
Calorie Rating: 17
Released: 2002-08-27
Running Time: 12 Minutes


A short documentary about the Disco legend Sylvester. Sylvester James began as a child gospel singer and sashayed past barriers of race and sexual identity to become the definitive anthemist of disco and dance soul. With a vibrant falsetto and genderbending persona, he redefined what it means - on stage and in life - to be "mighty real." This documentary will restore to the spotlight a pivotal performer whose music defined an era and whose influence is still felt by dozens of current vocalists.
