Sylvester James @ 60
James would have been 60 if he had not died from AIDS 20 years ago.
"Over and Over," released in 1977 on Fantasy Records is WMC# [1].
The single was written by Ashford and Simpson, who released it earlier in 1977 as a twelve inch version mixed by Nick Martinelli.
Sylvester is better known for his collaborations with Patrick Cowley and Harvey Fuqua. Both wrote and produced for Sylvester creating Hi-NRG classics such as "Do You Wanna Funk" and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)," which was a previous WMC.
For the set theory bit (genre theory is a subset of set theory)
The Venn diagram of Sylvester intersects with the following compilations via the musical composition "Over and Over:"
- François Kevorkian Choice
- Dave Lee's Jumpin' series
- Brian Chin's Club Classics & House Foundations series
- Norman Jay's Good Times series
all excellent compilations if you're into that kind of music.
Sylvester is firmly planted in the American disco scene but was popular too in Europe at the time and the rest of the jet set world.
