The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, the Music, the Seventies in San Francisco - Joshua Gamson

Descriere The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, the Music, the Seventies in San Francisco - Joshua Gamson

\n \nImagine 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. \n \nYale-trained sociologist Joshua Gamson uses Sylvester's 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.\n
