I worked for Sylvia Robinson at Sugarhill Records as a producer/engineer for almost 2 years. Ms.Rob was the real deal. What a multi talented woman! Rumors say that the character Cookie from the TV show Empire was derived from Sylvia Robinson. Ms. Rob was also a savvy business woman, but she also was compassionate. I helped her pick up Toys and gifts that she bought for kids in Englewood N.J. and the Bahamas. She did this every Christmas. God bless her soul. Gone but never forgotten and forever loved.

[@andremiller7725]

I never knew Ms. Silvia Robinson who help launch Sugarhill was the singer of one of my favorite romantic songs of my adolescent years in the 70s.

[@edwardburks2868]

She wasn't a savvy business woman she was a blood-clat thief who ripped off young Blacx rappers with bad contracts that affects them right up to this day.😠

Thank God you said that! I had 45 records of Pillow Talk and Sweet Stuff and those two songs were suggestive for their time, and radio jocks had to fade out the orgasmic sounds from both records. It wasn't until 1976 Donna Summer came along with the 10 minute long Love To Love You Baby adding her moans and groans thru the entire record, and once again radio jocks had to fade out the suggestive parts. But those songs were tame compared to the overtly sexual lyrics of so-called "love songs" now where u hear the f bomb , and d*** and p***y all thru the songs. Now, I never heard Sade do any suggestive sounds in any of her records and I had all of her albums. She has a naturally husky voice which could be mistaken for suggestive. The only two that did it as u said, was Sylvia Robinson and the Donna Summer.
