Sylvester : You Make Me Feel Mighty Real
On August 13, 1978 Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" debuted on the U.K. charts at #38. Born in Watts, Sylvester James pushed social boundaries with gender-bending performances, his openly gay lifestyle, and his belief that gender was a choice. He had sung with a group of black cross dressers and trans women in L.A. before moving to San Francisco. He became the "Queen of Disco" thanks to this early electronic dance music classic, produced by Patrick Cowley, which peaked at U.K. #8 and in the U.S. the following year at #36.
