WOW!! I've never heard of her or heard any of her music til just now. Damn she is GOOOD! RIP.

I've been researching her and everything but it says she has no albums... What are the names of the albums that "Pussycat", "Pillow Talk", "Next Time That I See You", and "Sweet Stuff" are on? Its probably a stupid question but even wikipedia doesn't list her albums and its annoying as hell lol.

Dig deeper lol she does have albums. She was so indie though it's hard to locate them on usual sites like Allmusic for example.

RIP. I loved Pillow Talk, & loved the old Sugar Hill Gang raps.

RIP

Sylvia Robinson, rap producer and half of 'Love Is Strange' duo, dies

RollingStone.com

Sylvia Robinson, the producer of the Sugar Hill Gang's pioneering hip-hop single "Rapper's Delight," died this morning at the age of 75 from congestive heart failure.

Robinson, a singer, musician, producer and label executive at Sugar Hill Records, began her career as half of the duo Mickey & Sylvia in the late '50s, who scored a hit with "Love Is Strange." As a solo artist, Robinson also had a hit in 1973 with "Pillow Talk."

Robinson masterminded "Rapper's Delight," the first-ever commercially successful hip-hop single, in 1979. In 1982, she produced another hip-hop classic, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message." That song, widely credited with bringing social consciousness to hip-hop music, was the first rap song ever added to the National Archive.

Looked at the big picture again, yeah that's her. RIP ageless beauty.

Heh good point. Someone needs to do some investigation.

The versions Sylvia produced for the song "Love on a Two Way Street" (which original artist Lezli Valentine co-wrote without being credited):

Lezli's:

The Moments':

Both versions were recorded in 1968 with the latter being issued in 1969 and reissued in 1970. The 1970 reissue later became the hit (The Moments' version).

You forgot to add Stacy Lattisaw's version. Love this song and I thought Pillow talk was the sexiest.

Always liked Sylvia R. She could work that baby hair better than MJ.

The legendary pioneer passed away earlier this morning in New Jersey.

Sylvia Vanterpool Robinson, credited as the Mother of Hip Hop, died earlier this morning from congestive heart failure.

As founder of Sugar Hill Records, the 75-year-old rap industry veteran first helped push Hip Hop to the mainstream, producing The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” in 1979. She also produced Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s “The Message,” as well as her 1973 hit “Pillow Talk.”

When I look at this photo and then compare it to the photo posted on VF, the striking differences are apparent to me. First of all the eyebrows are different, and the eyes are a different shape. I think some of us were TRICKED!
