Mighty Real: A Celebration of Sylvester

To celebrate the birthday of the iconic San Francisco disco diva Sylvester (1947–1988), join us at this event that will highlight the GLBT Historical Society’s archival holdings documenting the singer’s life and times. In a recorded video, the society’s registrar Ramón Silvestre will present some of the Sylvester-related objects in our Art & Artifacts Collection. We will also be presenting clips of some of our archival footage, including a scarce video of what was waggishly billed as the diva’s 40th birthday celebration in 1987—although the star was only 38 at the time. This footage features some moving clips of Sylvester performing sentimental standards backed by a jazz band.
