The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend the Music the Seventies in San Francisco

Imagine a pied piper singing in falsetto wearing sequins and leading the young people of the nation to San Francisco and on to a liberation where nothing was straight-laced or old-fashioned. And everyone finally was welcome--to come as themselves. This is not a fairy tale. This was real mighty real and disco-sensation Sylvester was the piper.. Yale-trained sociologist Joshua Gamson uses Sylvesters life to lead us through the story of the 1970s when a generation took off its shame. Celebrity sociology and music history mingle in this endlessly entertaining story of a singer who embodied the freedom spirit and flamboyance of a golden moment in American culture.
