Sylvia - The Matador (1981) Country

Before country beauty Sylvia hit it big with "Nobody" and the album "Sylvia" in 1982 - peaking at # 1 on the country charts and receiving a gold record - she released her debut "Drifter" in 1981. The highlight for me on this record - beside the # 1 title track - is without a doubt "Matador" which hit # 7 on the country charts. A wonderful blend of country, pop and a fine disco beat. A kitschy, glitzy affair with wonderful melancholic lyrics.

It's literally been a good 20 years since I last heard this song.

They simply don't make songs like these anymore...when songs were crafted with meaning, and not just commercial appeal.

What a beauty, and a great song, her best.

I wish Sylvia recorded this song in Spanish. It would sound beautiful if she did. One of my favorite's from Sylvia. Like Nothing Ever Happened is my favorite from her.

This was Sylvia`s best album ever. The music is pure country and each song tells a story. I just wish I could find the video to this song. She is so beautiful in the video.
