Soul and Inspiration presents:

This week on Soul and Inspiration, DJ D.E.B.S takes you on a ride through the early life and career of church trained disco diva Sylvester. While past episodes have focused on the careers and impact of gospel artists, today we’ll explore the influence of a secular artist who began his career in the churches of LA and was inspired by modern gospel greats: Sylvester.
