#Interestingly Sylvia’s biggest impact came behind the scenes. In 1979, she co-founded Sugar Hill Records (named after a Harlem, NY neighborhood) and recognized the rising power of hip-hop long before the mainstream music industry caught on. #SylviaRobinson #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Sylvia began recording in the early 1950s… She teamed up with guitarist Mickey Baker to form Mickey & Sylvia, & the R&B duo had a pre-hot 100 era hit in 1957 with the R&B crossover “Love Is Strange.” #SylviaRobinson #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Released on Vibration Records, which Sylvia co-founded, “Pillow Talk” was a bold, intimate song… it was originally offered to Al Green, who passed on it. Sylvia, who’d stepped back from performing, decided to return to the spotlight. #SylviaRobinson #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
