Sylvester - Step II - 180-Gram Vinyl

What is disco, if not a call for yearning? What is gospel, if not a call for redemption? What is praise, if not a call back home? It is in the murky waters of gospel, Blackness, queerness and Black performance of Step II that we find Sylvester, a legend of other worlds. The deepest corners of the late 1970s New York City club scene birthed a new genre of music that would shift the lives of queer people globally, but for a young boy from Crenshaw with an undeniable falsetto, it would be the beginning of it all.
