This sound portrait of the late great disco diva Sylvester is the second in a short series honoring co-producer Marilyn Pittman, who died Saturday, March 28. We’re re-posting some of her stellar features.

In this one, Marilyn interviews author Josh Gamson about his biography, The Fabulous Sylvester, we hear from fans at the book party launch at the The SF LGBT Center, and we also hear archival live concert footage of Sylvester and Two Tons O’ Fun (aka The Weather Girls – Martha Wash & Izora Rhodes).

Most of this feature was recorded and first broadcast in 2005. This 2015 update and re-airing includes part of a 2010 interview with Mike Smith of the AIDS Emergency Fund — which inherited much of Sylvester’s music — and promoted our April 2015 10th Anniversary Party.
