	Sylvia Hotel
		Sylvia Olive Pleadwell Sayer, Lady Sayer (1904-2000) was one of the foremost early conservators of what is now Dartmoor National Park, in Devon in the south-west of England.
		Despite Lady Sayer's establishment background, she was a fearless and empassioned fighter in the defence of Dartmoor: frequently she deliberately interrupted army live-firing exercises on Dartmoor's military ranges, and in 1985 snubbed The Prince of Wales over the Duchy of Cornwall's management plan for Dartmoor, since this allowed for a continuance of military usage.
		Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 – February 11, 1963) was an American poet, author, and essayist.

		Sylvia Robinson is now retired from the music game, but she will never forget the sights and sounds that assailed her senses when she took her seat in the club's balcony.
		Even as a soft- spoken 69-year-old, Sylvia retains something of the imperious air for which she was once renowned; she doesn't like answering questions, and she may not have the sharpest recollection of her career's darker moments, but memories of an upbeat event such as Lovebug Starski's performance will animate her.
		Mickey and Sylvia are best known for the 1957 smash "Love Is Strange." According to Sylvia, the idea for the song came to her at Washington, D.C.'s Howard Theater, where she and Baker shared a bill with a number of other popular R&B acts, including Bo Diddley.

		Sylvia Vanderpool, 6th March 1936, New Jersey, New York City, U.S.A. Sylvia Robinson's career has seen some strange turns that have taken her from a sweet soul singer to, what could be argued, the sole individual responsible for the birth of rap music.

	Mickey & Sylvia
		Mickey and Sylvia had further success with "There Oughta Be A Law" (1957) and, after a brief hiatus as a duo, "Baby You're So Fine" (1961), but their career together was undermined by commitments elsewhere.
		In 1973, she began recording as Sylvia, and later achieved notable success as an entrepreneur through her ownership of Sugar Hill Records, early champions of the rap/hip-hop scene.
		Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson are perhaps best remembered for the sly, playful and sexy interplay on their recordings but they also recorded some wonderful Rock and R&B. Mickey was a great guitar player (Sylvia was a former student) and they had their biggest hit with "Love Is Strange" in 1957.

	REMEMBER WHEN - 7TH JULY 1973
		I used to class this record as boring purely because of the fact that it was on an old fashioned record label (London) and the actual label was fl, unlike the nice picture on the Rak singles, the brightness of the R.C.A. singles, the nice gold and blue from MGM and the silver from Bell.
		But Sylvia Vanderpool (later Sylvia Robinson) had made her first recording 23 years earlier as Little Sylvia, and had first hit the US chart in 1957 as one half of duo Mickey And Sylvia with "Love Is Strange".
		At the end of the decade, Sylvia Robinson was one of the leading lights of the Sugarhill record company which gave us the first Rap hit single.

		Ironically, though he recorded mostly instrumentals for Savoy and Rainbow, it wasn't until he teamed up with another guitarist/vocalist Sylvia Vanderpool (as Mickey and Sylvia) did he achieve commercial success with the pop crossover, "Love Is Strange (Groove 0175)," in 1956.
		In 1961 the great Mickey Baker, having split from wife Sylvia, also pulled up stakes and moved to the City of Lights, where he prospered for many years as a session man and sideman.
		Now, there were less and less gigs for the taking for traditional blues players and other newcomers like Guitar Crusher (Sidney Selby) found that he had to scuffle just as much as the seasoned veterans for the venues that remained.
