Original Toronto Star caption: Sylvester James was the star of a rock show Friday at Massey Hall and critic Peter Goddard says of him: Mincing across the stage; Sylvester seemed intent on singing simultaneously like another Tina Turner and the last of the red-hot mommas. He was neither. Sylvester affects a blond wig and hip-hugging sequin pants.
