Sylvester: No Business Like Show Business
Simon Frith, Melody Maker, 7 July 1979
ON HIS RECORD sleeves, Sylvester is definitely svelte. A pink shirt and a red rose. Spectacles and a cool look, like Arthur Ashe. My favourite picture has him in a broad-brimmed hat and a leather coat, the epitome of a male model, advertising an exclusive line in the New Yorker and Vogue.
