The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consumation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming God Bless!

@rrr ccc ... indeed!

The error in this statement is that you SHOULD care about who and what he was. Although, I understand what you mean to say, the problem with humanity is that by saying you’re colorblind or a person’s sexuality doesn’t matter to you is that you, inadvertently, undervalue the wholeness of who that person is. You show you care by SEEING them, by considering all the things you profess not to want to see. It’s a paradox that we’re not especially aware of.

@rrr ccc ....😊

@@janepatton8100 Amen and Amen! Jesus is Lord!!!!!!!

How true… taken from us too soon

Music made by PATRICK COWLEY, not Sylvester ... he sang the music Patrick produced ... learn it ...

​​@@manuelfernandes8405girl shut up!! When one speaks of Sylvester we are speaking of his god-given talent The Voice ‼️ go have a seat!

If he knowing the way of the Lord and his lifestyle was against will of God he is not most likely RIP and not in peace for Is 57:21 says for the wicked there is no peace.

@@kbkcogic And now the Hippo is a CVS. ugh.

God is love and we are all created in his image

JP Monroe angels ? what angels ? lucifers ? ohhhhh that angel yeah with that one yeah he be singing and screaming its hot hot hot

@@kbkcogic, as a heterosexual man who doesn't judge the lifestyles of others, I'm always amazed that bible thumpers always seem to judge those different from them. How do YOU know where this man's fate after death? Aren't all sins equal? Aren't we ALL sinners until our last breath? Shouldn't you, and those who think like you worry about your own soul and how you live YOUR life?

Wow!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for sharing hun

This was music..real music!!!

Very true...

They were beautiful talented trailblazers. Sad they are gone but boy did the shine.

Now he's in hell

He was very beautiful even without the makeup. Such an important time.

@@missmelody6185 Yes, he was. Just a beautiful human being ❤😊

@@corneilmadison9436 sad but true smh

@@corneilmadison9436 please say hello to him when you get there

2dasimmons you are so right !! I have 3 of the 4 LPs this choir recorded. Do you have « We come to praise his name » album ?

Yes, she is!! That’s why Sylvester has her and Igor’s as his backup singers!

yep and she is still a great singer

She was the real voice on C&C Music Factory's 'Gonna Make You Sweat'.

WOW!

Absolutely the truth, he was a true Diva and it was God who made the gift he had. Rest in peace precious child of God and rare songster of great Enlightenment.

Miss Lawrence could play him‼️

I was thinking the same thing Miss Lawrence is perfect for the role of Sylvester He is so fierce and fashionable as well❤

How true

Period!!!!!💯💯💯❤

Sylvester is THE absolute truth!!! He will forever be missed!!!

Can you ask your husband what is the song playing at 2:23?

NO MAMES !!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJA

T P y

I know that must have been cool, fun, exciting, etc, etc, etc. :))

Without condoms?

​@@woabeatz9717 Yes Aids killed many At 80's Specially in new york Munich San Francisco London

​@@woabeatz9717stupid comment

I was lucky to see him perform in San Diego just before he was well known every where in the disco world.

Simon5005 I've just found out about him😥

Yeah I know right??? But they do have a documentary about him on RU-vid

If I'm not mistaken, "Unsung" on the TVOne network did a show on Sylvester.

There is a documentary on him...it had me in tears!😍

Check out Sylvester 's Unsung doc produced by TvOne👍

I saw this on Unsung and ot was fabbbbbbuuuuuuulosssss! He was taken away much to early from us!

2 tons of fun. The weather girls. Sylvester. "Sangers"!

Elton John? 🤢

Come on people

Who are u there different

@@clbwebb1961 He didn't say that they Weren't different; just that He came before, paved the way for, and heavily influenced RuPaul.

Xcuze Sylvester did both drag and singing. When he was with The Cockettes, everybody was in drag. Most tried to imitate Diana Ross and Billie Holliday

Are you kidding? You can’t even put Rhu Paul in the same unniverse with SYLVESTER!

Amen.

1 of the best Disco Queens

Miss Lawrence should play, because Lawrence can actually sing.

Liz Taylor Miss Lawrence also resembles Sylvester a lot !!!!

Guss want to ride down to the Old Town road?

@@marilynwillett804 God said no such thing. The bible was originally written in Hebrew - FACT. The term "homosexuality" wasn't coined until 1868 - FACT. The English language didn't begin to take shape until about the beginning of the 5th century AD - FACT. Thus, when the bible was written, there was NO Hebrew equivalent for the term "homosexuality". Therefore God didn't say it.

Marilyn Willett why must you lie to support your agenda of hate? According to the Bible, Jesus died for all who accepted him, with no mentioning of any exceptions. Sylvester accepted Jesus as his savior.

@@brklyn345 5th century AD, English language sounded very German, wasn't till 10th, 11th century that French was thrown into it, Latin and Greek.

You're absolutely right my man....

They were all murdered, plain and simple. Never forget...

KG2018 handsome😍

Skunk69 x who murdered them? For what?

Runaway1777, President Ronald Reagan proverbially murdered him and hundreds of thousands of others by withholding funding for research and support because AIDS was a "gay disease."

Yes he was around back in the eighties. If you lived in San Francisco and we're out and about you would probably run into him.

Yes he did!!

No.... he paved the way for all people who overcame tragedy by using his God given talents and being a wonderful free spirit who lived life out loud. DO NOT make this tremendous life about pure sexuality he was love personified....because he was an inspiration to so so many people of many differrent races creeds colors lifestyles cultures and beliefs..touching each of us for so many different reasons. His music saved my life as a young girl... Sylvester was bigger than the box people tried to place him in. He was an Icon a humanitarian and a powerhouse entertainer who just happened to be gay... He changed the way we all saw the world. I smile everytime I think of him...He was beautiful

​@@brelewill427 --He's burning in hell, unless he repented and was born again, Jesus told Nicodemus; ' Ye must be born again to enter heaven.'

@@marilynwillett804 Hell is not until judgement day and the saints will be judged first, so lets not be so quick to decide beforehand who is going where... The bible says search out your own soul salvation with fear and trembling and the fact that the preacher of the church who repeatedly raped him as a child went on to live without consequence sickens me, but even though Sylvester was rejected for his flamboyance and feminine ways which were obviously a side effect of the terrible sexual and physical trauma he suffered he became something amazing in spite of it all.... Even after being forced out of the church and his home town. No one ever confronted the predator who they knew stole his innocence and allowed this evil individual to remain in the church....SMH we could all see how a loving God would punish the grown ups not the victim for what happened... Sylvester showed strength and faith in life when he could have been bitter and rejected God. This shows great character..Sin is Sin. Gods grace is sufficient and it was obvious that he knew where to go for strength peace and forgiveness. Lets all try to carry our own cross like this talented young man did because the bible says that even the elect of God shall scarcely make it in. Hopefully we can prove to be just as vigilant to keep our eyes on the things that are above and not assume that God is functioning according to mans carnal assertions about others...

pave the way? people been livin like that since the beginning of time. people need to not be afraid of who they are. take the good with the bad. what you hiding for? smdh

2021 checking in

Yes he was! I actually learned who he was from an older sib and a few dance moves from Sylvester during the Disco era and I thank him for that. Sylvester WAS a trail-blazer, no doubt!

Girl, me too!!! I was about 9 when my mom used to play Sylvester records to death , honey!!! We used to dance and sing so, so loud..... ahhhhhh, the memories!

Stephanie Jackson yes Miss Lawrence would be perfect!

Big freedia does remind me of him.

@Julia Mimi go play in traffic.....

@Julia Mimi Such ignorance and poison. You must be a very sad lonely person with no friends. Hated by everyone who knows you, vile degenerate bitch.

Think before you speak. There is a lot of ignorance and hatred in that statement.

Julia Mimi I second that motion

Devastating…. Aids destroyed the arts and the intelligentsia of the era and led to the sad, low brow shit show we’re in now.

By the way, your pic is nice

@Joycelyn Bellamy the 70s and 80s were great times!

Do you know the song playing at 3:23?

I was very young it i love that Sylvester

💕

Lucky! I would have given anything to see this wonderful talented man perform live!

I'm sorry😔

Diva Dave at time couldn't cure what wasn't known it was sad I didn't come out until 1990 and I believe ppl were still dying because lack of medicines I lost a dear friend if mines too thankful today ppl are living longer and it almost not even talked about
