The Story Of... Sylvester's Living Proof

The Blessed Madonna reflects Transgender Day of Remembrance by playing Sylvester's Living Proof in full.

The Blessed Madonna reflects Transgender Day of Remembrance by playing Sylvester's "Living Proof" in full.

Openly gay and unapologetically femme-presenting from their teenage years, Sylvester was all about high fashion and drama.

In their success as a flamboyant black performer they paved the way for other gender-rebelling pop stars of colour, from Prince and Grace Jones to Jaden Smith and Janelle Mon谩e.

Their album Living Proof was a double record set - featuring live material recorded at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco on March 11th, 1979.
