Last Friday the BBC showed the Sista show to last week's KINGS OF GLAM show with QUEENS OF DISCO. It won't change anyone's life but it was great fun nevertheless. It featured short profiles on Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Grace Jones, Sylvester, Chaka Kahn and Madonna.

Gloria Gaynor has always left me a bit cold but it was great to see the vintage footage. In particular it was good to see Sylvester in all his colourful glory although there appeared to be less of him than anyone else. There were nice interviews with Martha Wash, Jeanie Tracy and Jocelyn Brown all of whom gave testimony to his love of shopping and great stage act. There was also a sad little interview with his mother, obviously still proud of his accomplishments.
