Gotta check out Crystal Gayle... She is the OTHER "Coal Miners Daughter"... It runs in the family... Crystal was given advise to "Never sing anything I would sing, because everyone will be comparing us"... That older sister was the legend herself... Loretta Lynn...Crystals signature song is "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue'''... She did pretty well for herself in the '80s too, with many hits to her name as well... And yes, Loretta and Crystal both shared the same coal miner father... Same mother too....
@@bgallagher8129I made the same mistake too when I was young... It wasn't until I seen Sylvia perform the song live on TV that I realized her hair wasn't long enough to be Crystal... Made me a fan of Sylvia though, with no regrets...
Have you guys listened to Barbara Mandrell? She was a huge country singer in the 70s and 80s! You need to hear “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool” or “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed”. ❤
Yes, Gotta love Barbara... I recently found her entire farewell concert here on YT... Reminded me of just how great she really was... As if anyone could forget...
Another 80s country lady you would no doubt enjoy is Terri Gibbs "Somebody's Knockin'." She has a deep, bluesy voice and plays a mean piano. Hopefully she'll make a Female Friday appearance soon.
I remember when this song came out. Of course back then we only had land lines and not even caller id so this was totally plausible because the phone would just ring and you just answered without having any idea who might be calling.
They've done "Delta Dawn" and "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane". But there's still a LOT of Tanya left to explore. Personally, I'm hoping they get to "San Antonio Stroll" and "Lizzy and the Rain Man".
not only Rosanne cash Juice newton Deborah allen Marie osmond Anne murray Debby Boone Dolly parton Reba mcentire Shelly west Karen brooks Charly mcclain Lousie mandrell Janie fricke Hillary kanter Emmylou harris Judy rodman Cindy hurt ........all of this it was pop country
Sylvia "Drifter", Barbara Mandrell "If Loving You Is Wrong", Charly McClain "Who's Cheatin' Who", Tanya Tucker "Can I See You Tonight", Terri Gibbs "Somebody's Knockin", Deborah Allen "Baby I Lied", Janie Fricke "Ain't Easy Being Easy"...
@@davidmorgan1408 Amen to both of you. Those two songs, "The Matador" and "I Never Quite Got Back (From Loving You)" are far better songs than "Nobody".
I have been waiting for this one! I didn't understand it as a kid. As I grew older, I realized just how clever the lyrics are! My favorite line is "...but I can love you like nobody can, even better." It's fun when "nobody" is referring to an actual person. I believe this was the #2 song of the year on the country chart. It peaked at #15 on the Hot 100 singles chart.
What a crush I still have. Went to a bloodmobile, the bus was named Sylvia. When I settled into the donation station there it was, a photograph of THIS Sylvia in that same station. It had been touched by an angel.
Sylvia had so many big hits in the 80's, One of the top country artists of that time, Check out some others like "Like Nothing Ever Happened" Cry Just A Little Bit.
He’s A Heartache- Janie Fricke. J/A another new country female artist that was popular around the same time as Sylvia. Love to see you react to her!! She had quite a few songs that were popular and bet you would like this one! It’s real uptempo.
The first concert I went to was Conway Twitty and Sylvia! It was 1982 in Houston Texas and I was seven years old. I loved this song and she was my favorite back then. The other song she had was Snapshot (I believe).
🇬🇧 I have never heard this song before, but ya know what? ... Boy did it make me smile...from ear to ear, I loved it. Whoever requested this... Thank you so much. Amber, thanks for choosing it. This is going straight onto my playlist. 🎼🎙️💖
It’s great hearing Sylvia again, she has amazing voice, I am glad the people gave her for you to play Amber & Rob. Here is another song “Like nothing ever happened”.
So, fun little story…I sang this song in my first talent show when I was in 4th grade, so my parents recorded the competition. Another contestant was Billie Joe Armstrong (from Green Day), same age, in a little white tuxedo with tails, singing New York, New York! So cute! ❤😊
@@ZillaMesh I’ll have to see if my son can get it transferred somehow from VHS😆 I would absolutely love to show ya! Maybe he can also get the one of he and I singing together in that same talent show 6-7 years later a song he wrote before he recorded it with the band! Give me some time to see if I can get it put together! Thank goodness we still have a VHS player!🤣😂 I know receipts are necessary for any statement anymore, but, I promise, I got em!😁 I’ll ask my daughter to send me a picture of the plaque with both our names on it if she can find it!😁. Talk soon!
@@shellymarquez9320 seriously that would be awesome. We need amazing old videos of great times of our past. We can all relate & enjoy them. Preserved forever for the world & your kin.
KT Oslin Hold Me, she also sang with Alabama Face to Face, Pam Tillis Shake the Sugar Tree, Shelly West Jose Cuervo, The Forrester Sisters That’s What You Do When Your In Love, Roseanne Cash Flat Top Box.
Wow, She Was Beautiful . . . 🙂 I Remember This Song On The Radio Back In The 1980's When I Was In My 20's, And I Never Knew What She Looked Like Until Now . . . Wow . . Thank You For Playing Her Song, Which I Haven't Heard For Over 30 to 35 Years If Not Longer . . . :-)

My wife loved Surround me with Love. Insisted it be played at our wedding. I still have the 45 rpm single. We would have been married forty years in June. She passed five weeks ago. 😢
Great reaction as always guys. So glad to see somebody react to Sylvia and her song Nobody. What a beautiful woman and talented singer. I had such a huge crush on her as a teen in the 1980s, I had a lot of pictures on my bedroom walls of cool old cars and trucks but only one picture of a woman and it was the one of Sylvia you have on your video.
Sylvia needed one more song to complete an album, so they called the group whose names appear on the writers credits. They sat down and had the song ready the following morning. They won an award for the song
This is my sister's go to Karaoke song. Our cousin HATES this song. But when my sister was recovering from a near fatal car accident our cousin promised her she would sing it with her when she got better.
Sylvia had 19 singles on the Country charts in the 1980s. "Tumbleweed" shows off Sylvia's range and has a haunting quality to it. "Snapshot" is similar to "Nobody" in the story line. Actually, I like all of her songs.
I was a teenager back in the 80's, I love country music, and Sylvia is my favorite female country music artist. "Nobody" is the first sing of hers I ever heard. It's a shame that her music isn't on the radio anymore, because she is so talented! And she's very underrated. I wish today's country music was as good as it was in the 80's.
I saw her at the South Alabama State Fair the same year. I waited backstage before the show and managed to get her to sign my cassette (!) of her then-new album, Snapshot. The guards tried to shoo me away, but she told them it was okay, I guess because I was a kid.
Also check out Suzy Bogguss from this era (Aces, Someday Soon), Kathy Mattea (Where’ve You Been- great story song!) and one of my faves who is way underrated and often overlooked, Nanci Griffith (Love at the Five and Dime, also story song, KM had a hit with it, Trouble in the Fields). Her live versions are best with great intros….
I am a huge fan of Sylvia (Hutton) and her songs "Victims of Goodbye", "Like Nothing Ever Happened", "The Matador", "Bobby's In Vicksburg", "You Can't Go Back Home", "Snapshot", and so many more... Sylvia was the Princess of Country Pop for several years...
haven't heard this for a long while, was nice to hear. Another female singer that I think you both would like is Terri Gibbs with her song "Somebody's Knockin'". it reminds me of that early 80's country pop, but has more soul than most of that time. And as an aside, Terri is blind....I enjoyed seeing her perform that song.
You need to check out Rosanne Cash (Johnny's daughter). She had many classics, but a great place to start would be "The Seven Year Ache." Also great are "I Wonder," "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," "Blue Moon With Heartache," "What We Really Want," "The Wheel," and her duet with her dad, "September When It Comes."
Glad you finally got to Sylvia. She was the first concert I went to in the 80’s. It was in Anaheim and an outdoor concert and the tickets cost $9.39, this was a radio promo. Afterwards she did a meet and greet and signed autographs. Other songs by her you should check is Drifter, Tumbleweed and Like Nothing Ever Happened. Thanks for posting.
Sylvia is originally from Kokomo, Indiana. I have friends that went to school with her. They said she was very quiet and they were surprised when she became successful.
Barbara Mandrell is a must after listening to Sylvia. She was America's Sweetheart for a good while. Such an awesome talent with a truly beautiful voice. I was Country When Country Wasn't Cool (my fav of hers) Sleeping Single in a Double Bed Crackers Woman To Woman Wish You Were Here I don't want to be right Married But Not To Each Other (awesome song) Midnight Angel Angel In Your Arms The Best Of Strangers Fooled By A Feeling Happy Birthday Dear Heartache There's No Love in Tennessee Old Time Rock 'N Roll In Times Like These Standing Room Only The Midnight Oil One Of A Kind Pair Of Fools Only A Lonely Heart Knows
Sylvia Jane Hutton, an amazing singer! I also love "I Never Quite Got Back (From Loving You), and "Who's Kidding Who." Thanks for reacting to one of my favorites!
More 80s adjacent female acts to check out sometime: Missing persons - words, walking in l.a., destination unknown; Lone justice - shelter, ways to be wicked; Sade - solider of love, kiss of life, by your side, paradise, nothing can come between us, is it a crime; The motels - total control; Romeo void - a girl in trouble, never say never; Grace jones - below the belt, do or die, pull up to the bumper, slave to the rhythm, I’m not perfect
Anybody hear a little Olivia Newton John in her voice? I've heard this many times before and always thought it was so very cleverly written. Her voice and the music are great, but I always look forward to appreciating the lyrics.
When I was in elementary school, my grandparents took us to a taping of Hee Haw at the Grand ol Opry in Nashville. We got to go backstage, and I was taking tap dancing at that time. I got to tap dance with Roy Acuff, and Sylvia was the talent for that show. I remember telling her how beautiful she was, and she pinched my cheek and told me I was cute. Just a memory that popped into my head while hearing this song.
I've been waiting for so long for you to get around to Sylvia. One of the best of the late '70's - '80's country - pop artists. You simply will not find a smoother voice anywhere. She also sings with great emotion. A great rabbit hole to go down. "where In The World" , twenty years after " Nobody", but just as silky smooth. Like time has stood still where her voice is concerned. She is one of my all time favorite singers.
Some other Sylvia songs to check out: Never My Love, Victims of Goodbye, Snapshot, Fallin' In Love, I Can't Help the Way That I Don't Feel, You Can't Go Back Home., - Just to name a few!
Thank you for featuring Sylvia! I hope you will check out more of her songs! She had 11 Top 10's on the Billboard Country charts from 1980-1986. "Tumbleweed" #10 (1980) "Drifter" #1 (1981) "The Matador" #7 (1981) "Heart on the Mend" #8 (1981) "Nobody" #1 (1982) "Like Nothing Ever Happened" #2 (1982/83) "Snapshot" #5 (1983) "I Never Quite Got Back (From Loving You)" #3 (1983/84) "Fallin' In Love" #2 (1985) "Cry Just a Little Bit" #9 (1985) "I Love You by Heart" (Duet w/Michael Johnson) #9 (1985/86) A few other noteworthy Sylvia songs are... "Sweet Yesterday" #12 (1982) "Victims of Goodbye" #24 (1984) "Nothin' Ventured Nothin' Gained" #33 (1986)
I saw her in a private concert when her album was going to be released. It was Sylvia, Janie Fricke and Charlie Pride. I loved Charlie Pride. That was a great concert. Very small audience because it was a fundraiser and the tickets were expensive. Sylvia was beautiful, sang beautifully and really sweet. I totally enjoyed meeting her. I'm glad someone else remembers her.
Definitely, Country Pop as this song crossover into Billboard Pop charts peaking at #15 in 1982. I remember another crossover country artist Roseanne Cash, Johnny's daughter, around the same time who had a hit "Seven Year Ache". React to that one some time. There is also another Sylvia artist who sings R & B. React to her song "Pillow Talk" sometime on Female Friday. Thanks. 😎
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. ❤
Such a fun song! Sylvia had a string of hits, her follow up song to this was "The Snapshot", in a similar vein. Amber, a female Friday act you might consider, the Forester Sisters, you'll love their fun hit song, "Men"
Well, when this song came out, it was at the tail end of the country/pop era ("Urban Cowboy" had just come out 2 years earlier) so that's why the song has such a "pop" feel even though it's "country."
I don't know why, maybe because it's a 1 name singer, but Charlene - I've Never Been To Me, is just reminding me of this song. They're nothing alike, but it's making me think of it anyway. I've Never Been to Me, I'd have to give the nudge to, Charlene. They both remind me of 1 hit wonders. Maybe Sylvia was super popular on the country charts, with this song crossing over to the pop charts, thus me never hearing more. That would make sense, especially if people are saying she was great back in the day.
Thank you fir showing Sylvia some love. She was definitely a favorite of mine throughout the 80s. Try her version of Desperado, photograph to name just two.
There’s another female artist also known as Silvia , she was a bit of a one hit wonder and I remember that her song “Pillow Talk” was a huge hit in the early 70s. The song was also covered but not commercially released by Janet Jackson.
There's also a soul singer named Sylvia who had a big hit in 1973 called Pillow Talk-a pre-cursor to Donna summer's Love To Love You Baby. She was also a part of the duo Mickey & sylvia with their late 50s hit Love Is Strange.
I had forgotten this song and that the singer went by just the first name Sylvia. There was another singer who went by just the first name Sylvia (Sylvia Vanderpool). She had two hits: the first in 1957 ("Love is Strange") as half of the duet Mickey & Sylvia; the second was I believe in 1973 ("Pillow Talk") as a solo artist.
It was a really popular song, the beat alone was enough to grab listeners…Sylvia’s voice is great…and with those “Motown” style backup vocals…most of us just ignored that it was a song about a gal fighting to keep her cheating guy from Nobody!
Wow, I had completely forgotten about Sylvia. She was so pretty, I always had a bit of a crush on her. Nobody was her only really big hit. She had a few other songs that were in the top 10 on the country charts, but I don't think I would say she was a huge country star. She did get some country awards, mostly for Nobody and the year she released it at the CMT awards. But she does still perform even today and put out some albums on her own company record label.
This song was all over the country and pop radio when I was in junior high in 1982. Great voice. Listen to Terry Jacks "Somebody's Knocking." Don't forget Cyndi Lauper's song "I Drove All Night" to check out her vocals.
Gotta check out Crystal Gayle... She is the OTHER "Coal Miners Daughter"... It runs in the family... Crystal was given advise to "Never sing anything I would sing, because everyone will be comparing us"... That older sister was the legend herself... Loretta Lynn...Crystals signature song is "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue'''... She did pretty well for herself in the '80s too, with many hits to her name as well... And yes, Loretta and Crystal both shared the same coal miner father... Same mother too....
Funny you should mention Crystal Gale. I always thought this song was by Crystal. I’m shocked.
@@bgallagher8129I made the same mistake too when I was young... It wasn't until I seen Sylvia perform the song live on TV that I realized her hair wasn't long enough to be Crystal... Made me a fan of Sylvia though, with no regrets...
Yes Crystal Gayle is a class act. A favorite of hers that I really like is half the way. Doesn't disappoint
Specifically, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and "Talking In Your Sleep." Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice!!!
I liked that song, "A long and lasting love" as well. Talent runs through that family!
Have you guys listened to Barbara Mandrell? She was a huge country singer in the 70s and 80s! You need to hear “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool” or “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed”. ❤
Love her too!
Yes Barbara is my favorite country female singer
She was huge in the early 80s with her TV show along with her two sisters, too.
Yes please! I've been meaning to suggest Barbara Mandrell for ages. One of the greatest female country singers ever!
Yes, Gotta love Barbara... I recently found her entire farewell concert here on YT... Reminded me of just how great she really was... As if anyone could forget...
Another 80s country lady you would no doubt enjoy is Terri Gibbs "Somebody's Knockin'." She has a deep, bluesy voice and plays a mean piano. Hopefully she'll make a Female Friday appearance soon.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I was looking for this comment. “Nobody” put me in mind of “Somebody’s Knockin’”, too. Great song!
I’ve been suggesting somebody’s knocking for like a year.
Yessss!!!!❤😊
And Juice Newton " Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me ", Barbara Mandrell "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed", Olivia Newton John's country songs ❤😊❤
Sylvia was my Mom's favorite female artist of the 80s and 90s. Checkout Sylvia's major hit "Snapshot"
I haven’t heard this song in years!! Still like it!
I remember when this song came out. Of course back then we only had land lines and not even caller id so this was totally plausible because the phone would just ring and you just answered without having any idea who might be calling.
I always found the words to this song creative. How the writer doesn’t use a name for the “other woman”. They used “Nobody”
“Nobody” was Sylvia’s only Grammy nominated album for RCA Records
in 1982.
Y’all should listen to, late 70s -early 80s, Crystal Gayle, Tanya Tucker, and Barbara Mandrel ( if you haven’t).
The vibes are so similar.
They've done "Delta Dawn" and "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane". But there's still a LOT of Tanya left to explore. Personally, I'm hoping they get to "San Antonio Stroll" and "Lizzy and the Rain Man".
Yesss! And Olivia Newton John's country songs ❤😊❤
Sylvia, Crystal Gayle, and Barbara Mandrell defined an era of crossover country. This song always made me smile.
not only Rosanne cash Juice newton Deborah allen Marie osmond Anne murray Debby Boone Dolly parton Reba mcentire Shelly west Karen brooks Charly mcclain Lousie mandrell Janie fricke Hillary kanter Emmylou harris Judy rodman Cindy hurt ........all of this it was pop country
This was her crossover hit from the Country Chart to the Billboard Hot 100, and 1 of 11 Top 10 US Country Chart hits!
I came here to say that. She may be a country artist but this song got plenty of play on non-country stations.
I'm with ya, Amber. Hit the road, Jack.
Nobody could’ve taken lessons from Stay…❤
I second the nomination for "Hit The Road Jack" by Ray Charles. 😉
Sylvia "Drifter", Barbara Mandrell "If Loving You Is Wrong", Charly McClain "Who's Cheatin' Who", Tanya Tucker "Can I See You Tonight", Terri Gibbs "Somebody's Knockin", Deborah Allen "Baby I Lied", Janie Fricke "Ain't Easy Being Easy"...
Sylvia's Picture is good too
💯
I had a HUGE crush on Sylvia when she first came out. But she had a really good voice. Fantastic talent.
The way she sings Drifter is hauntingly beautiful.
Totally agree! Also, Tumbleweed.
@@davidmorgan1408 Amen to both of you. Those two songs, "The Matador" and "I Never Quite Got Back (From Loving You)" are far better songs than "Nobody".
I agree David. I forgot about Matador. It is also beautiful.
I have been waiting for this one! I didn't understand it as a kid. As I grew older, I realized just how clever the lyrics are! My favorite line is "...but I can love you like nobody can, even better." It's fun when "nobody" is referring to an actual person. I believe this was the #2 song of the year on the country chart. It peaked at #15 on the Hot 100 singles chart.
Written by Fleming and Morgan. Wrote many hits for Sylvia, Barbara Mandrell, and Ronnie Milsap during this period.
What a crush I still have. Went to a bloodmobile, the bus was named Sylvia. When I settled into the donation station there it was, a photograph of THIS Sylvia in that same station. It had been touched by an angel.

She’s single again is another great one from her .
My favorite Janie fricke song!
I haven’t heard this song in years. Thanks for the memories!
Sylvia still looks gorgeous today.
The first concert I went to was Conway Twitty and Sylvia! It was 1982 in Houston Texas and I was seven years old. I loved this song and she was my favorite back then. The other song she had was Snapshot (I believe).
Conway is Mom's Tom Jones 😊
Pretty sure my dad was there. He was the touring bass player for her in the early- mid-80's.

Sylvia was great! You gotta hear “Snapshot”

I saw Sylvia perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in February 1983 at the Astrodome when I was a freshman in high school.
I saw her at the South Alabama State Fair the same year. I waited backstage before the show and managed to get her to sign my cassette (!) of her then-new album, Snapshot. The guards tried to shoo me away, but she told them it was okay, I guess because I was a kid.

Her live versions are best with great intros….
Where Have You Been by Kathy Mattea is a beautiful song. Please react to that one.
Yes!! Suzy and Kathy are awesome!
This is one of my favorite songs from back in the day. It's so wonderful to hear this song again. It's been years! I love it.
I sung this song all the time when I was young. I knew it word for word. I’m 47 now and I still love this song. Thank y’all. Love y’all and keep safe.
I just sang along every word and i'm 48!
My dad had the hots for Sylvia 😆 Kids are little tape recorders.
I am a huge fan of Sylvia (Hutton) and her songs "Victims of Goodbye", "Like Nothing Ever Happened", "The Matador", "Bobby's In Vicksburg", "You Can't Go Back Home", "Snapshot", and so many more... Sylvia was the Princess of Country Pop for several years...
Love it ! I haven't heard this song in forever ! Thanks. Great reaction.
Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne had a great song around the same time as Nobody from Sylvia. The song is Seven year ache
haven't heard this for a long while, was nice to hear. Another female singer that I think you both would like is Terri Gibbs with her song "Somebody's Knockin'". it reminds me of that early 80's country pop, but has more soul than most of that time. And as an aside, Terri is blind....I enjoyed seeing her perform that song.
Love Sylvia, please do more, And Barbara Mandrell also! She was like one of the biggest country stars from the 70s and 80s.
You need to check out Rosanne Cash (Johnny's daughter). She had many classics, but a great place to start would be "The Seven Year Ache." Also great are "I Wonder," "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," "Blue Moon With Heartache," "What We Really Want," "The Wheel," and her duet with her dad, "September When It Comes."
Thank you Jay and Amber for another song that brings back sweet memories! You bring smiles and joy to everyone! Bless you!❤
I absolutely LOVE that shirt Amber!!
Glad you finally got to Sylvia. She was the first concert I went to in the 80’s. It was in Anaheim and an outdoor concert and the tickets cost $9.39, this was a radio promo. Afterwards she did a meet and greet and signed autographs. Other songs by her you should check is Drifter, Tumbleweed and Like Nothing Ever Happened. Thanks for posting.
I had completely forgotten about this song!
Oh my! It got a ton of air play on Philly radio stations when it was released.
I appreciate the memories!
She had another hit song called, LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED which is a great song by her as well.
Sylvia is originally from Kokomo, Indiana. I have friends that went to school with her. They said she was very quiet and they were surprised when she became successful.
Barbara Mandrell is a must after listening to Sylvia. She was America's Sweetheart for a good while. Such an awesome talent with a truly beautiful voice.

Sylvia Jane Hutton, an amazing singer! I also love "I Never Quite Got Back (From Loving You), and "Who's Kidding Who." Thanks for reacting to one of my favorites!
More 80s adjacent female acts to check out sometime: Missing persons - words, walking in l.a., destination unknown; Lone justice - shelter, ways to be wicked; Sade - solider of love, kiss of life, by your side, paradise, nothing can come between us, is it a crime; The motels - total control; Romeo void - a girl in trouble, never say never; Grace jones - below the belt, do or die, pull up to the bumper, slave to the rhythm, I’m not perfect
Anybody hear a little Olivia Newton John in her voice? I've heard this many times before and always thought it was so very cleverly written. Her voice and the music are great, but I always look forward to appreciating the lyrics.
I loved this song back in the day. Another great one from this time is “Seven Year Ache” by Roseanne Cash - yes, the daughter of Johnny.
When I was in elementary school, my grandparents took us to a taping of Hee Haw at the Grand ol Opry in Nashville. We got to go backstage, and I was taking tap dancing at that time. I got to tap dance with Roy Acuff, and Sylvia was the talent for that show. I remember telling her how beautiful she was, and she pinched my cheek and told me I was cute. Just a memory that popped into my head while hearing this song.
Sylvia has another song that could be a fellow up to this one its called "Snapshot"
I've been waiting for so long for you to get around to Sylvia. One of the best of the late '70's - '80's country - pop artists. You simply will not find a smoother voice anywhere. She also sings with great emotion. A great rabbit hole to go down. "where In The World" , twenty years after " Nobody", but just as silky smooth. Like time has stood still where her voice is concerned. She is one of my all time favorite singers.
this also became a top 20 pop hit.
Some other Sylvia songs to check out: Never My Love, Victims of Goodbye, Snapshot, Fallin' In Love, I Can't Help the Way That I Don't Feel, You Can't Go Back Home., - Just to name a few!
Always loved her voice growing up. Thanks guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You might want to listen to Sylvia's Snapshot. As a bonus if you pick the right video you can see how film was processed
I saw her in a private concert when her album was going to be released. It was Sylvia, Janie Fricke and Charlie Pride. I loved
Charlie Pride. That was a great concert. Very small audience because it was a fundraiser and the tickets were expensive.
Sylvia was beautiful, sang beautifully and really sweet. I totally enjoyed meeting her. I'm glad someone else remembers her.
This WAS a very big pop hit as well as a country hit back in the early 80's
Definitely, Country Pop as this song crossover into Billboard Pop charts peaking at #15 in 1982. I remember another crossover country artist Roseanne Cash, Johnny's daughter, around the same time who had a hit "Seven Year Ache". React to that one some time. There is also another Sylvia artist who sings R & B. React to her song "Pillow Talk" sometime on Female Friday. Thanks. 😎
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. ❤
Such a fun song! Sylvia had a string of hits, her follow up song to this was "The Snapshot", in a similar vein. Amber, a female Friday act you might consider, the Forester Sisters, you'll love their fun hit song, "Men"
I love Sylvia's music. Another great song by her is Snapshot. That one is hilarious, especially if you watch the original video.
Well, when this song came out, it was at the tail end of the country/pop era ("Urban Cowboy" had just come out 2 years earlier) so that's why the song has such a "pop" feel even though it's "country."
I don't know why, maybe because it's a 1 name singer, but Charlene - I've Never Been To Me, is just reminding me of this song. They're nothing alike, but it's making me think of it anyway. I've Never Been to Me, I'd have to give the nudge to, Charlene. They both remind me of 1 hit wonders. Maybe Sylvia was super popular on the country charts, with this song crossing over to the pop charts, thus me never hearing more. That would make sense, especially if people are saying she was great back in the day.
I think they were both popular on the radio around the same time - hearing this now made me think of the Charlene song too.
My friends stayed at an air B and B in Nashville a few years ago that used to be Sylvia’s home.
Thank you fir showing Sylvia some love. She was definitely a favorite of mine throughout the 80s. Try her version of Desperado, photograph to name just two.
There’s another female artist also known as Silvia , she was a bit of a one hit wonder and I remember that her song “Pillow Talk” was a huge hit in the early 70s. The song was also covered but not commercially released by Janet Jackson.
A first time hearing for me and I loved it thanks for the time together!
I know this is 7 months old, but I was a huge fan of Sylvia's. I read an article that she is life coach for artists in the industry
Listen to her song “snapshot” it’s the follow up song to this.
This was popular on pop radio too - lots of country/pop crossover songs in the late 70's & early 80's.
the most best pop country song of all time and sylvia she was the most beautiful young lady
OMFG!!! Banger. On a regular rotation at my place.
I love this song..I especial llike it as an adult,...
One of my favorite soft rock songs, it’s been a lot of years
I remember my mom bought this album when it came out and used to play it all the time. Memories
I love that song I remember when it was so popular she is such a wonderful singer
I must have been around 11yo when this hit the pop charts. I listened to it non stop. ❤
You should listen to her other song Snapshot, the ending is fun, you'll figure out the snapshot part!😊
This takes me back. Used to work at a country station in the eighties and played this a lot.
There's also a soul singer named Sylvia who had a big hit in 1973 called Pillow Talk-a pre-cursor to Donna summer's Love To Love You Baby. She was also a part of the duo Mickey & sylvia with their late 50s hit Love Is Strange.
This song meant so much to me ,I was 8 when it came out,and it was the story of my mom and dad,he also had his nobody...
I had forgotten this song and that the singer went by just the first name Sylvia. There was another singer who went by just the first name Sylvia (Sylvia Vanderpool). She had two hits: the first in 1957 ("Love is Strange") as half of the duet Mickey & Sylvia; the second was I believe in 1973 ("Pillow Talk") as a solo artist.
It was a really popular song, the beat alone was enough to grab listeners…Sylvia’s voice is great…and with those “Motown” style backup vocals…most of us just ignored that it was a song about a gal fighting to keep her cheating guy from Nobody!
Wow, I had completely forgotten about Sylvia. She was so pretty, I always had a bit of a crush on her. Nobody was her only really big hit. She had a few other songs that were in the top 10 on the country charts, but I don't think I would say she was a huge country star. She did get some country awards, mostly for Nobody and the year she released it at the CMT awards. But she does still perform even today and put out some albums on her own company record label.
This song was all over the country and pop radio when I was in junior high in 1982. Great voice.
Listen to Terry Jacks "Somebody's Knocking."
Don't forget Cyndi Lauper's song "I Drove All Night" to check out her vocals.
I haven't heard this song in decades. I kinda had a crush on Sylvia in the '80s. For the record, I'm 52.
Great Song Great memories Thanks Y'all 🤠
You should play Sylvia - Pillow Talk from the 70’s
You need to check out her song Snapshot.
It was a really popular song…the beat alone is enough to grab listeners…
