Sylvester - I Need You (Pathfinder's Excitement Mix)

Sylvester James Jr, born on September 6th, 1947 in Los Angeles, California, was different from most boys his age. Described as "feminine" by others and perferring to hang out with girls rather than his peers, Sylvester was a different kind of breed from the outset. After being kicked out by his mother between the ages of fourteen and fifteen, Sylvester went on to join a group called the Disquotays, who presisted throughout the decade until they broke up near its end. Despite trying to find new jobs to make some money during and after his time with the Disquotays, he never seemed to hold one down. When the 1960s rolled onto the 1970s, though, Sylvester found his new calling when he was introduced to a troupe called the Cockettes through his friend Reggie Dunnigan. His interest in music meant he was already quite gifted, with his falsetto voice and ability to play the piano impressing the Cockettes' members. But despite the group's interest in surrealism, Sylvester chose to instead go with a more classier view on his performance, leading to him getting his own following after the group gave him several solo spots with little to no relation to their performance and its theming. This came to a head in 1971, where the group's first New York City show got them panned by critics due to them not rehearsing their parts. Sylvester, the only one who actually did rehearse his performance, was pointed out as the show's saving grace, leading him to quit the group by 1972. From there, Sylvester created a demo album that he sent to A&M Records, who chose not to release it due to them not seeing it as commercially viable. Still, the group he put together for it's recording sessions remained together, leading to the newfound "Hot Band" submitting two songs to Blue Thumb Record's "Lights Out San Francisco" compilation project. Because of that, the group was signed to Blue Thumb, where they released two albums that unfortunately sold quite poorly. Due to problems the rest of the band had with Sylvester, the Hot Band broke up in 1974, and Sylvester created a new band called the Four As. But even that wasn't an improvement, and they too were disbanded come next year. After refreshing his image to be less androgynous and more masculine, Sylvester and his new manager Brent Thomson opened auditons for new backing singers, with two women named Martha Walsh and Izora Rhodes joining as the "Two Tons O' Fun." Bassist John Dunstan and keyboardist Dan Reich joined as well, creating a new backing band for Sylvester. In 1976, the band began picking up gigs across town and eventually picked a consistent opening spot at a nightclub called "The Palms" at San Francisco. There, he met a producer for Motown Records called Harvey Fuqua, who led him to a recording contract with Fantasy Records. In 1977, he recorded his self-titled album and released it, leading to moderate success in the USA. But his big break would come when Sylvester recorded and released his second album "Step II," which included two singles called "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) and "Dance (Disco Heat)." That got massive success in the disco scene of 1978, leading to Sylvester becoming one of the most acclaimed artists of the genre. Another album "Stars," was released in 1979, furthering the hype train around Sylvester. After a live album sold poorly, Sylvester decided to give himself one more chance to increase his success through a new album, "Sell My Soul," which was recorded within a two-week timespan. When it was released in 1980, unfortunately, it was faced with poor reviews from critics and ultimately bombed. Sylvester would release one more album with Fantasy, but he left after that failed too. One single was released from "Sell My Soul," though, and that would be the subject of today's remix. Having been uploaded fashionably late (though whether or not it's fashionable by Sylvester's standards is unknown), this remix contains an extended intro and an ending that emphasizes Sylvester's great piano skills. All of that and more leads to a remix that, while not as heavy on the instrumental sections, is sure to get you on the dance floor in no time. I do not own any of the music shown in this video.
