Sylvester’s last release on Fantasy Records, Too Hot to Sleep, was a true display of his often-overlooked power as a soul artist, powered by his gospel background and his effortless vocal control over slow, deliberate arrangements. He was one of the most versatile artists of his time, displaying his deep and sensual crooning side, evoking a Barry White-esque energy on cuts like “Thinking Right” and his rendition of “Ooo Baby Baby,” and then putting his goosebump-inducing trademark falsetto on full blast with “Can’t You See.”
