With the passing of Sylvia Robinson on 9-29-11, Ol' Mello's posting her first album.
She's left us with quite a legacy having been a singer, musician, music producer & record label executive.
In 1972 Sylvia sent her demo of Pillow Talk to Al Green. When Green passed on it due to his religious beliefs, she decided to record it herself.
Beside all of the firme artists & tunes that came from her All Platinum, Stang, Turbo & Vibration labels, she was also the founder & CEO of the hip hop label Sugar Hill Records. She is credited as having been the driving force behind the first rap song to be released by a hip hop act..."Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang.
Tracklist:
01. Pillow Talk
02. Give It Up In Vain
03. Sunday
04. Don't Leave Me Starving
05. My Thing
06. Didn't I
07. Had Any Lately
08. Not On The Outside
09. Cowards Way Out
