One of the most danceable songs ever. I don't think anything in recent times has come close to matching it. Classic!

I was about 12 years old the first time I saw this video. The gayness SCARED me.

Oh Lord. It beats me for "gayest thing on the planet" There's these stairs that light up and he turns around with a damn wig on and one of those chinese fans and he's like "aaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!!!YOUUUUU MA-HAKE ME FEEELLL"

That's what I was thinking when you mentioned the video. Haven't seen it many times, but, yeah, that scene sticks out. That video makes Boy George look like a wallflower!

Loved this song for yearrrs.

Side note: Watch Whoopi Goldberg's "Back To Broadway: 20th Anniversary Special" on HBO or DVD. You'll see that she infuses this tune in her stage production.

Good song. Syl was no joke.

I just bought a 2 CD set called "Greatest Hits" and "Rock The Box" is included on there. It also has a great remix of "Do Ya Wanna Funk".

I have a few of his vinyl albums and recently have bought a few CD imports in the record store. They were expensive as hell, like $25 each but they do have 12 Inch versions at the end of the album. Once I bought them, I never saw them in the store again so if you see something of Sylvester's, buy it immediately.

his first backup singers were the pointer sisters and they were replaced by izora and martha...if nothing else, he launched some good careers.

Ahh, OK. I've seen this at the video store. Might rent it sometime soon.

Man, will someone post this video? Please upload it on rapidshare, take one for the team man.

I went through my Sylvester phase last year. Man, I love his stuff. I annoyed many people with my rendition(s) of You make me feel. That's probably my all time favorite song to sing, it rocks. I love the bump in intensity the vocals on the second verse take. I love that song, I like Do you wanna funk too. But back to the topic at hand. Could someone upload this video. I have my own vote for gayest video ever which I will provide a youtube link to later...

--edit---

it's later
