Sylvester - Sylvester & Step II (1995)

A year after signing a record contract with Fantasy Records in 1977, and releasing his debut solo album Sylvester, produced by legendary Motown producer Harvey Fuqua, Sylvester would release his second album Step II. On Step II was a track that would forever be synonymous with Sylvester, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). Later, in 2004, the year before Sylvester’s death, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. However, that wasn’t the only huge hit on Step II. Dance (Disco Heat), was another track that would give Sylvester a number one US Dance single. This was a long way from Sylvester’s debut album Sylvester, which, upon its release failed to chart. It seemed that a year was a long time in music for Sylvester James, as you’ll see, when I tell you about Step II and them the music on it.
