Sylvia is actually credited as being the Mother of Hip Hop because she discovered The Sugar Hill Gang back in 1979 and was the founder of Sugar Hill Records.

That was a SPICY song for the time period! Along with "Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer, two of the spiciest and steamiest songs of the 1970s. 🌶🔥🌶 🔥Sylvia Robinson would later be the founder and CEO of the pioneering Sugar Hill Records label. 😊

A very nice reaction ! She's from Harlem, NYC. Pillow Talk was released as the lead single from Sylvia's 1973 album: Pillow Talk. It was written and produced by Sylvia and Michael Burton. The song reached #1 on the R&B chart and #3 on the Hot 100. This performance is from the TV show: Soul Train, on June 30, 1973. She also performed the song on the TV show: American Bandstand in 1973. The song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1974 Grammy Awards, losing to the song: "Master Of Your Eyes (The Deepness Of Your Eyes)", by Aretha Franklin. In 1993, singer Janet Jackson covered the song for her album: janet., but it was not used. Janet Jackson later stated in 2018: "Not sure what I was thinking when I excluded it. Now that I'm hearing it for the first time in years, maybe I made a mistake. Maybe it should have gone on the record. Maybe I just wasn't willing to do a cover because of my eagerness to hone my craft as a writer". The song was featured in the TV series 📺: Quantum Leap (S5/E1 "Lee Harvey Oswald - October 5, 1957 - November 22, 1963: Part 1" 1992). The song has been featured in some films including 📽: Carlito's Way (1993), 54 (1998), Vinyl (2016), Antonio Lopez 1970: Sex Fashion & Disco (2017) and more.

She passed away on September 29, 2011, in Englewood, New Jersey. She was a singer, record label owner and record producer. She was known professionally as Sylvia. She achieved success as a performer on two R&B chart toppers, as one half of Mickey & Sylvia with the 1957 single: "Love Is Strange", and her solo record: "Pillow Talk" in 1973. She later became known for her work as founder and CEO of the pioneering Hip-Hop record label Sugar Hill Records. Sylvia attended Washington Irving High School in Manhattan, New York, until dropping out at the age of 14, and began recording music in 1950 for Columbia Records under the stage name "Little Sylvia". In 1954, she began teaming up with Kentucky guitarist Mickey Baker, who taught her how to play guitar. In 1956, the duo now known as Mickey & Sylvia, recorded the Bo Diddley and Jody Williams-penned Rock single, "Love Is Strange", which topped the R&B chart and reached number eleven on the Billboard Pop chart in early 1957. After several more record releases including the modestly successful: "There Oughta Be A Law", Mickey & Sylvia split up in 1958. Sylvia then restarted her solo career shortly after her split from Mickey Baker, first under the name Sylvia Robbins. In 1960, she produced the record: "You Talk Too Much", by Joe Jones, but she did not receive a producer credit. In 1966, Sylvia and her husband, Joseph Robinson, moved to New Jersey where they formed a Soul music record label: All Platinum Records. The following year, with artist Lezli Valentine, formerly of The Jaynetts, bringing the record label its first hit with the song: "I Won't Do Anything". In 1968, she signed a Washington, D.C. vocal act named: The Moments, who immediately found success with the single: "Not On The Outside". Within a couple of years and with a new lineup, the group scored their biggest hit with the song: "Love On A Two-Way Street" (1970), which Sylvia co-wrote and produced. Other hit songs produced on the record label and its subsidiaries, included Shirley & Company: "Shame, Shame, Shame" (1975), The Moments: "Sexy Mama" and "Look At Me (I'm In Love)", Retta Young's "(Sending Out An) S.O.S." (1975), and the Whatnauts/Moments collaboration: "Girls". Sylvia co-wrote and co-produced many of the tracks. Sylvia owned a bar in Harlem, New York named "Joey's Place" after her husband in the 1960s. She also owned another New York bar and nightclub named "The Blue Morocco" during the mid-1960s. In 1972, Sylvia sent a demo of a song she had written called: "Pillow Talk", to Al Green. When Al Green passed on it due to his religious beliefs, Sylvia decided to record it herself, returning to her own musical career. Billed simply as Sylvia, the |song record became a major hit, reaching number-one on the R&B chart and crossing over to reach the US Billboard Hot 100 (#3), while also reaching #14 on the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1973. She was awarded a Gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in May 1973, and earned a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1974 Grammy Awards. Sylvia recorded four solo albums on her All Platinum Records subsidiary record label Vibration and had other R&B hits including: "Sweet Stuff" (#16 R&B) and Didn't I (#21 R&B). In the 1970s, Sylvia co-founded Sugar Hill Records. The company was named after the culturally rich Sugar Hill area of Harlem, an affluent African-American neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, known as a hub for artists and performers in the early and mid-1900s. The song: "Rapper's Delight" (1979), performed by The Sugar Hill Gang, brought Rap into the public music arena by attaining one of the first commercially successful Hip-Hop songs and revolutionized the music industry by introducing rapping, DJ scratching, and breakdancing. Later acts signed to Sugar Hill Records included all-female Rap/Funk group: The Sequence, featuring a teenage Angie Stone (recording as "Angie B"), who had a million-selling hit in early 1980 with: "Funk You Up". In 1982 Sylvia along with Grandmaster Melle Mel, produced the record: "The Message", which was performed by Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five. The song discussed life in the ghetto and became one of the most influential tracks of the Hip-Hop genre. On December 5, 2012, Rolling Stone selected the song: "The Message", as one of the "50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time". Once the votes were in the song: "The Message", was placed in the number 1 spot on the list. Grandmaster Flash stated: "And when that project was on the slate to be done- The Message; I'm talking about-she would ask us for a period of time about doing a record having to do with the real life things that happen in the 'hood. And we kind of ducked it for a minute". Without Sylvia insistence and pressure there would be no "The Message". Sugar Hill Records folded in 1985, due to changes in the music industry, the competition of other Hip-Hop record labels, such as Profile and Def Jam and also other financial pressures. SylviA, who had by now divorced Joseph Robinson, continued her efforts as a music executive, forming: Bon Ami Records in 1987. The record label was noted for signing the Hip-Hop act: The New Style, who later left and found success as Naughty By Nature. In 2014, producer Paula Wagner acquired the film rights to Sylvia's life story from her son, Joey Robinson Jr, an executive at Sugar Hill Records. Joey, who passed away in July 2015, was scheduled to executive produce and serve as a consultant on the project, along with rapper Grandmaster Melle Mel, while music executive Robert Kraft was to co-produce the film along with Stephanie Allain. In October 2015, Warner Bros. announced that it would be the studio producing the film, and that Malcolm Spellman and Carlito Rodriguez, two of the writers on the TV series: Empire, were writing the script. In October 2018, it was announced that Wagner and Warner Bros. were still moving forward with the film, Malcolm Spellman and Carlito Rodriguez had been joined by Tracy Oliver in completing the script, Justin Simien had been attached as the director, and that Tracy Oliver would join Sylvia's son Leland Robinson as executive producers. As of 2024, the project still hasn't been completed. Sylvia Robinson (May 29, 1935 - September 29, 2011) Passing 🙏🏾: She passed away on the morning of September 29, 2011, at the age of 76, at Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey due to congestive heart failure. She was laid to rest at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. ****CONTINUE BELOW****

Miscellaneous Notes 🗃: In 2003, American electronic musician Moby sampled her 1973 song: "Sunday", for his song: "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)". Sylvia is allegedly one of the inspirations for the character Cookie Lyon (portrayed by Taraji P Henson) on the popular Fox television show: Empire (2015 - 2020). Sylvia is featured on the documentary series: Profiles Of African-American Success. Legacy 🛡: Several publications have dubbed her the "Mother Of Hip Hop". At the 11th Annual Rhythm and Blues Awards Gala in 2000, she received a Pioneer Award for her career in singing and for founding Sugarhill Records In 2022, she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Ahmet Ertegun Award category for being a major influence on the creative development of Hip-Hop's early successes, and is the first woman to receive the award unaccompanied by another person.
