The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, the Music, the… por Joshua Gamson

Big, beautiful, a heavenly voice. Born in Los Angeles, Sylvester went to San Francisco. There, he (kind of) conquered the city, made some memorable recordings, and died. Scholarly work.

The Fabulous Sylvester : The Legend, the Music, the… por Joshua Gamson

For the most part it was an enjoyable enough read, particularly the histories of the young inner-city, cross-dressing disquotays. Mid-way through the book it gets a bit tedious (the writing and Sylvester himself.) It does pick up again and is worth sticking with, but ultimately it is not as gratifying as I would have liked, given the subject matter.
