When I was 9 or 10 I had her full LP and every song on it was great and catchy. You're probably thinking, why would a kid that young be listening to a record with adult topics? Well, most kids listened to just about everything back then. If we were young enough a lot of the topics went over our heads and we just liked the way the sound sounded or the beat. This was in 1980 or 1981. Don't worry so much about what your kids are exposed to, because most of the time how you perceive it is not how your child perceives it. They won't understand what it's about until their much older. We played a song in my marching band called: Smoke on the Water but didn't get it was about smoking pot until later in life, but bringing attention to subject matter is a sure-fire way to expose them to the thing you're trying to protect them from.

There was another artist that went by Sylvia in the 1970s. Sylvia Hutton was on the Country charts in the 1980s and "Nobody" 1982 was one of her biggest hits. But Sylvia Robinson was on the R&B/Pop charts in the 1970s. And her most famous (infamous? ) song was "Pillow Talk" 1972. Some more conservative members of society actually tried to get it banned from the radio (and succeeded in some smaller, Bible Belt markets). A lot of people confuse the two singers, since both went simply by Sylvia, but once you listen to Pillow Talk, you will definitely be able to tell the difference. Let me just say, when it first was released, as a healthy 17 year old male, after listening to Pillow Talk, my first instinct was to roll over and light up a cigarette. Not so much for what she sang, but for how she sang it . . . 😊

It was a really popular song…the beat alone is enough to grab listeners…

Stop it! ! This is the third time I've had a song randomly pop I'm my head that I haven't heard in years and then you react to it. I'm kidding about the stop it part. Love the reactions as always. ❤
