Product Description:

Sylvester peaked in the late '70s, was still making interesting music in the early '80s, and then began the slow and painful decline that ended in his death. This one wasn't ruined by his singing, which was still impressive, but by erratic production and compositions. Sylvester tried to be comic, soul man, tease, dance star, and pop artist and was so torn between guises that he never established one on the album. ~ Ron Wynn

Pay NO Attention To Ron Wynn's Review Of This Album!!! Music Lover: Richard Marques from Scottsdale, AZ US -- January, 9, 2010

There was never ANY "slow and painful decline" in Sylvester's musical output and/or creativity; nor did this album have "erratic production".

EVERY SONG on this album is a winner. Once signed with Megatone, Syl followed his instincts and began recording Dance/HiNRG/Eurodisco music and never looked back. With producers Patrick Cowley, Tip Wirrick, Ken Kessie and Morey Goldstein, Sylvester would release several albums for Megatone.

All of Sylvesters albums starting with "All I Need" stand on their original merits. Anyone into Sylvester or his music would have NO IDEA what Mr. Wynn is discussing in his review, and personally would question whether he ever actually listened to any of Syl's music.

To this day, whenever I hear Sylvester's unearthly wail - all I think of are friends and fun and good times and Syl will always represent that for me. Sylvester never attained the true fame he deserved but left us with a brave, rich legacy of music that knew few boundaries for people to continue to discover. This was his gift to everyone.
