THE TRIBUNAL AID
Digging
Hello There,
Again I’m on the pen stick
after a long seize of illness,
while a patient in one of the
local hospitals. I was and am
very grateful to all my many
fans and friends who cared
enough to either visit, call or
send cards, flowers and other
gifts. It was enough to make
me hurry and get myself
together so I could get back
on my gig to entertain you
lovable Mama-oh’s and
Daddy-oh’s more and more.
So here I am and I’m sure
it isn’t me you want to keep
reading about so I’ll say
thanks again for showing so
much care during my illness
and convalesence and I’m
very glad to be back with
you.
After a breif rundown on
our top ten and single pick
and featured album, I have a
beautiful story for you about
a beautiful lady I’m sure
you’ll enjoy - so here goes.

With
Daddy-Oh
and I hope ymf have all oF'
them in your personal
collection.
Well there you’ve got it so
I guess I’U get on with that
story I was telling you about -
I mean about that beautiful
lady - so here goes.
This week our story will be
relatively easy to do, because
I happen to be a personal
friend of the family, so when
I’m visiting in New York
City, it’s only natural that we
visit either in their club or a
restaurant.
You know during the late
50’s and early 60’s and
roaming the country both
nationally and internationally
for some three years our
subject broke away from her
then “signing partner” to
embark on an entirely
different career; however, it
still kept her intact with the
music industry. Now
returning to the recording
field and having another No.
1 record I thought it would
only be natural to write a
story on the sweetheart of
the record and music world,
so I got on the phone and
called her and got some
answers to some questions
and this is what I learned so
you’ll be aware of her
versatility. . .our subject,
Sylvia.
Her current No. 1 record
“Pillow Talk” on Vibration
Records is a SMASH.
I asked Sylvia questions
about herself and of course I
got answers so here goes.
While talking to Sylvia I
learned that she had
aspirations of going to
Nursing School and becoming
a Registered Nurse (her life
time expectation) however
about six months before
graduating from Washington
Irving High School in New
York City and while studying
guitar under the famed
Mickey B^er, she found
herself playing the guitar and
singing which was her second
love incidentally.
It was about or during this
particular time that Mickey
saw the handwriting on the
wall and foresaw the
possibilities of a gold mine in
the entertainment field with
Sylvia on the other end of a
Duo which came to be known
as “Mickey & Sylvia”. Hence
“Love is Strange” and on the
strength of “Love is Strange”
and other popular songs
Mickey and Sylvia toured the
country, both as I
forementioned nationally and
internationally for three
years. After that, the popular
duo embarked into seperate
careers, Mickey Baker moving
to Paris, France and Sylvia as
versatile as she is found
herself beginning a new life or
career as a writer, producer,
engineering her own sessions
and manufacturing her own
things.
It was during this time that
she met, as she stated, and I
quote “Her Fabulous Joe”
(He’s Joe Robinson who in
himself is a genius when it
comes to engineering,
producing and manufacturing
hit records and he’s also a
“Giant” in the Record ,
Industry. No wonder he’s her
“Fabulous Joe”, they got
their thing together, business
wise, which naturally caused
them to be constant
companions and then Cupid
took over and did what was
inevitable - pierced his arrow
through their beautiful hearts
and she became Mrs, Joe
Robinson.
With both of them having
so much in common as far as
the music industry is
concerned, they combined
their talents and now they are
enjoying the fruits of many
record hits which I will tell
about before I conclude this
article. In the meantime they,
Joe & Sylvia that is, became
the proud parents of three
beautiful children named
Joey and Lane. Right here I
should say “Hello Lelane
Rogers”, and then there’s
little Rhonda, the youngest
member of the Robinson
Family and the new boss.
Sylvia has enjoyed much
success as a writer, and
producer of such hits as of
course, “Love is Strange”,
“Sunday”, “Not on the
Outside”, “Love on a Two
Way Street” and now “Pillow
Talk” - another No. 1 best
seller.
It looks Uke the
“Sweetheart of the Music
World” has returned to reign
again as a force to be
reckoned with and to
continue on where she left
off as the “Sweetheart of the
Music Industry”.
Sylvia has many interests
and hobbies including fancy
cars, pretty clothes, she even
likes long shots at the race
tracks and loves to cook
exotic fancy West Indian
Dishes, and she can burn too
baby.
Sylvia didn’t give us a
chance to forget her while she
was not recording her songs
herself as her hits will verify
but now that she has gone
into the Studio and come up
with another solid smash it
looks as if we will be hearing
from Sylvia for some time to
come,, so I’ll say right here
and now “Welcome Back
Sylvia!” - you are still our
Sweetheart. “Right on
Baby!”
Well gang. I’ve got to cut
you loose for this session, but
rU be digging on you the
next time around so imtil
then, you keep on Ustening to
