  • Very nice, but I like Buddy's version better.

  • Pure soul.

  • @Glefit Ms. Sylvia also playing guitar, a rare thing in those days (and even today): A woman out front who can also pluck the guitar, sing, and lend her presence to a song. She was a forerunner who successfully negotiated the treacherous music industry, including its white supremacy and sexism. The "talking" guitar sound used by M & S was a formative influence on the guitar genius who later shook up the entire music world: Jimi Hendrix. Respect and esteem are due this artist. She lives!

  • Hello, Ive been looking for a copy of this song and one called Bewildered - I can listen to it on the computer but Id like it on CD or cassette for my own home collection and of course cant find any cds of them lol all the great artists recordings are too obscure to collect i geuss, can you help me? If you know where to buy a box set or if theres a way you are able to burn the recordings you have I'd be thrilled to buy a copy . Make it a great day! decca_records@hotmail.com.

  • Mickey & Sylvia was one of the Earliest Black musicians to appear "regularly on Television! They say White artist came to Harlem copied Black performers then took the the acts UPTOWN! Then TV came & Black were left out! They mentioned JERRY LEWIS & DEAN MARTIN. Of course you remember THE OSMONDS shadowing THE JACKSON (5). It goes back to the Minstrel Days.

    The Black Group that preceded MICKEY & SYLVIA on TV was THE BILLY WILLIAMS QUARTET. On the SID CEASAR & EMMA JEAN COCO show!

  • What a beautiful Lady, with a beautiful voice. RIP Sylvia.  Timeless..

  • RIP. Im glad her baby called Hip Hop still lives on today. She helped form and produce the sugar hill gang to get this hip hop thing going. Thanks for all youve done!

  • Life is too short and I never heard this song either. Bye Sylvia! RIP!

  • Never heard this song but I loved it. RIP Sylvia
