The 80's were a struggle but I never felt more alive. I truly miss those days.

[@chickenjo23]

My dad was her guitar player very early in her career.

[@namelessdirt]

My dad Gordon McCaa played bass in her band early on.Trying to find more info or pics

[@Saxonyblue]

I was in the Air Force when this was released. We would all stand around the TV room all smitten.

[@marcusorillious8339]

The voice of an Angel.

[@Dana-fy8bg]

Such a delight finding Sylvia on YT. Her voice and music are beautiful.

[@michaelshaw3480]

I helped set up one of her concerts back in the 80's at my university (SFA) she was awesome very nice to everyone.🙂👍👍

[@brianboisguilbert6985]

‘bout the time this song was on the radio, I re-enlisted in the U.S. Navy after almost two years back home in my small East Texas town. A girl I was dating at the time wrote that the song always reminded of her of me. Haven’t listened to it in years, brings up some memories back when my hair was darker and my heart was lighter.

[@mbatchelor]

From the days when it was Country and Western. Love it...

[@surfinwax58]

Now days the ‘country music’ station’s music is more like rock with a smidgeon of steel or fiddle. Even Rock- a-Billy sounds more country!

[@michellepost3098]

I had this LP that is pictured, because Drifter was a new hit, and awesome. I think it came out during 1980. The 1980s had THE best songs of country, and of light rock.

[@shawncrippen15]

She's Great!! Always Loved her and her class of 80's music!!!

[@cowboycb36]

In my opinion this was her BEST album. Love her!!!!!

[@DebbieFan70]

Beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice!

Beautiful song done by a beautiful lady.

Love some Sylvia... Thanks for all your songs.

[@twolak1972]

Both 80,s Rock and country WERE INCOMPARABLE. SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, COULD LISTEN TO HER VOICE ALL EVENING

[@starlight-jr3ge]

She could sing some sad haunting songs.I loved her music growing up.

[@angelinanisse7383]

She should've been a bigger star

[@okigi-wo5zm]

What's the point? End up like Whitney Houston?

[@cherylstevens9370]

True

[@cherylstevens9370]

Yes

[@holtridge7337]

Should have but she didn't. That's the way it goes I guess.

[@user-wc9hc3vs8i]

She scored 14 straight hits....depends on how you.measure a bigger star. She should have scored more accolades, yes, but she was.and is a star.

[@travisscissell5169]

She was so stunning and had a great voice.

[@davidadams2395]

That she was and did.

[@stevewright4092]

[@richardwhite2344]

I love Sylvia and her incredible music. Back when country was Real Country music. Now you might as well call it pop music because it is not country. And may I say I love her voice and she is a gorgeous woman as well

[@kindspirit7]

And still is. Just watched a discussion on her new album Nature Child with Andrew Bruet. Might want to check it out.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Agreed sir..I always appreciated her music! The beats and tempo were one of kind

[@mangarda]

To be fair this is ABSOLUTELY a pop crossover song as well....basically country instruments/vocals committed to a disco beat. Still good though.

[@estherpeterson8943]

Country music at it best

[@caryleepierce2605]

That slide guitar is awesome

[@bpreece1]

An exciting sound for country music at the time, and one I still prefer over today's music.

Wow look how pretty she was and her time may been brief but she did secure hit records between 79 to 86. A fruitful career which various artists had in their careers and Sylvia was among them.

Beautiful lady

[@maddhatter3564]

I forgot how much she sounded (and looked) like Crystal Gayle, but with much more range. Haunting.

[@creativewriter3887]

Her voice had elements of Reba McIntire and Crystal Gale .. :) No wonder she was popular in the 80s.. :)

[@cameronashton6987]

I wonder if Crystal Gayle might be one of her influences. She's strongly mimicking Crystal in this video.

[@deandrabarrera6733]

What happened to such a beautiful woman and voice. I love hearing her songs to this day 💗

Sylvia is retired from performing.

Better change your name to something else, there was already a singer from the 1970s called Sylvia who was a soul singer

I made that song a reality LOL I decided to drive a rig and my CB handle turned out to be Drifter and I drifted around the country . How do you like that one lol I'm 65 years old and now retired . So the drifter stopped drifting 😢Oh! well all good things must come to an end !
