Favorite Sylvester Song??

[Robbie]

With the mention of Sylvester over at the "Disappointing Disco" thread, I thought I'd ask you guys what your favorite song by Sylvester is.

My faves are:

1. DANCE (DISCO HEAT)--This is my all-time fave Sylvester song. I even use the hook from that song as my signature. The version from Step II was the best one. Martha and Izora's vocal accomodations made the song so great, with their varied chants after the hooks towards the end. I can never get tired of this song. I feel that it is always overshadowed by "Mighty Real".

2. I NEED YOU--I heard this song for the first time during one of Jellybean's mixes on WKTU many years ago. I loved it the first time I heard it. Again, the ending where his background singers let their vocal talents shift into high gear. Jellybean mixed the ending of this song with Technotronic's "Pump Up The Jam" at the intro, where "Felly" (before we knew who "Ya Kid 'K'" was) sings "Pump up the jam, pump it up... ("I Need You" didn't completely fade out until "Jam" got around to "...and you'll find out if you do that").

3. STARS--The lengthy instrumental break in between the song gives me images of wandering off into some no man's land with fierce, gusting winds all around me.

4. (YOU MAKE ME FEEL) MIGHTY REAL--Despite it becoming a disco cliche in the tradition of "I Will Survive" and "Good Times", the version from the album Step II is the best.

5. DO YOU WANNA FUNK--Sylvester didn't pan out from disco music the way almost everyone else did by 1980. This was from the early 80's.
