CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

A new Sylvester mini-doc from our pal Barry Walters:

In partnership with filmmaker Lauren Tabak and writer/consulting producer Barry Walters, we dive into the music career of Sylvester, starting from church choir in South Central LA to his early years in San Francisco.

It follows his ascent to stardom through his evergreen, international hits “Dance (Disco Heat)” and “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”. Through his groundbreaking career, Sylvester blew open the doors for queer visibility and gender fluidity in mainstream music, leaving a legacy that continues to influence today’s pop music.

The documentary features candid interviews with Billy Porter, Martha Wash (The Weather Girls, Two Tons o’ Fun), Sylvester’s sister Bernadette Baldwin, biographer Josh Gamson, producer/songwriter James Wirrick, and more.
