Review: May 17, 2016.This article is supported by WikiProject Musicians (marked as Mid-importance). Put Sylvester up against any American singer, and pound for pound, note for note, he can not only compete, but he will often win. Sylvester (singer) has been listed as one of the Music good articles under the good article criteria.If you can improve it further, please do so.If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it. SAN FRANCISCO -- Sylvester, the popular soul-rock singer often referred to as San Francisco's Disco Queen, died Friday of complications from AIDS at the age of 40, his manager said., Tim McKenna said. Sylvester, the gay entertainer who delighted nightclub audiences with his funky, spiritual-style singing and outrageous costumes, died of complications of AIDS. It is a bittersweet look at a magnificent singer who infused disco with gospel and hot buttered soul. I love The Fabulous Sylvester! The book arrived ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. The '80s were a tumultuous and ultimately, sad period for Sylvester. This is a book for anyone interested in the glittering disco era and the book encompasses all of the feeling of that era.
