Sylvester | You Make Me Feel... Mighty Real (1978)

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" is a 1978 single by American disco/R&B singer Sylvester. The song was written by James Wirrick and Sylvester.

"It appears on Sylvester's 1978 album, Step II. It was already a largely popular dance club hit in late 1978, as the B-side of his previous single "Dance (Disco Heat)", before officially being released as the album's second single in December. Music critic Robert Christgau has said the song is "one of those surges of sustained, stylized energy that is disco's great gift to pop music".


In 2003, Q Magazine ranked "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" at number 677 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever".


In 2019, the song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
