Description

Living Proof ‎(2xLP, Album, Gat). This is a hands down classic of the disco era, capturing the mighty Sylvester and the Two Tons O Fun at their peek; 35 years on, Living Proof's continued relevance, exhuberance and uniqueness has only become more apparent. 3 parts live and 1 part studio recording, Living Proof present Sylvester at a key point of transition in his career where he is moving more toward his soul and cabaret roots, and paying homage to the disco that took him over the top. It is also a few years before he would go on to define NRG music and then ultimately to be taken by AIDS.

Highs: One-of-a-kind (Live Recording) Lows: CD sound quality Recommend: Yes with reservations Item Tested: Audio CD of Sylvester Living Proof. One of the original Disco Queens, Sylvester was a pioneer for gender, sexual, and sub-culture liberation. Sylvester and his backing singers Two Ton’s o Fun (Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes), latter the Weather Girls, is a perfect match to celebrate and appreciate the era of disco music. However, the sound quality of the audio CD was disappointing.

Sylvester is the third studio album by Sylvester. It was his first disco album in the series of three that were recorded and released by Fantasy Records in the late 1970s. The album was issued with the alternative title Over and Over in France. Two singles were issued from the album.

Label: Fantasy Records. You wanna talk glamorous divas and bigger-than-life disco queens? Well then, there's no ignoring the fabulous Sylvester. And on this sprawling 1979 live album you'll learn why. Like Donna Summer (although he had a far better voice), Sylvester was a classic entertainer, fusing soul, Broadway schmaltz and modern club grooves. By the end of Living Proof you'll be on your knees, soaked in sweat and weeping for more sassy funk. Maybe you'll even be wearing a sequined gown.

Rockers who dismissed disco in general as cold and mechanical never seriously listened to Sylvester, a passionate, captivating singer who had a magnificent range and was consistently mindful of disco's soul and gospel roots. In the late '70s, disco-oriented artists generally shied away from live albums because of their lack of dance club appeal. But like Donna Summer, the colorful Sylvester was an exception. Living Proof, recorded at the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, documents a varied and unpredictable performance showing that Sylvester was far from one-dimensional.
