This was always my favorite Sylvester lp cover. He was sent to do a photo session and asked to "butch it up" a little, now that Sylvester had the potential to reach the masses. A photoshoot dressed like this is what he did to "butch it up". God I loved the guts that man had.
It wasn't used on the album, Mutual Attraction, which would be his last. But it was used to promote a posthumously released collection of tracks.
I can't wait to hear him singing again in Heaven.
