jəˈrunˈprɑːt#Sylvester (James); one of the greatest underrated artists I know of!
A courageous #black #LGBTQIA+ icon, far before the term LGBTQIA+ was invented.
Their most popular single was of course the 1978 #disco track:
*You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)*

Like a lot of #gay people in that time, they died of #AIDS in 1988. Therefore, Rest in Power Sylvester!
