Sylvester was a large black man and a "Disco Queen" in every sense of the phrase. He had a hit record on radio and in the clubs.
I was to meet Sylvester, Butch Brown the R&B promoter for the distributor and Sylvester's manager and Motown legend Harvey Fuqua at a furniture store remote for WGPR. Butch picked that weekend to get married so he could use the Rolls limo he had rented for Sylvester and Harvey on the record company's dime.

Sylvester decides he wants a new gown for the show that night so we head to a couture shop in the Ren Cen. Three black men and me wandering around a dress shop looking for a new frock (as Sylvester put it).
The shop gals were VERY confused.
That night we head for the venue (the Roostertail). I follow the three guys into the dressing room and what do my eyes behold, but Sylvester's back-up singers, the "Two Ton's o Fun"(later known as "The Weather Girls") NAKED AGGGHHHHH!!! Trust me this is a sight a young man should never see.
