I went to see Sylvia sing after my dog died. She sang a song, w/the words, “Oh & nobody's got to tell me, what it is, what it is I feel, & nobody's got to sell me on a love that I know is real.” While I was listening in pure amazement, I thought - “Wow! This song is helping to heal my broken heart".
This is an image of t-shirts including a black and white photo of Sylvia, her name and the name of a very special song. People would say, "it's only a dog" thinking that was supposed to be comforting, I guess. How wrong they were. I had these t-shirts specially made because I loved the song, "Sometimes You Just Know" so much, by Sylvia. Unfortunately, the 1995 album project that it was slated to be included in never materialized. It still haunts me to this day.

I certainly didn't want to leave out these Sylvia albums. Last year Sony Music Entertainment released all of her RCA albums for streaming and downloads, including the "Knockin' Around" album that had been locked in the archives for nearly 38 years. I'm so happy to finally have it in my collection!
A collage of Sylvia's albums, "One Step Closer" and "Knockin' Around". A collage of Sylvia first album "The Real Story" on her own label, Red Pony Records from 1996 and her "Where in the World" album from 2002. A collage of Sylvia's 2016 album "It's All in the Family"; it was her first release in nearly 15 years. Plus, her album "Second Bloom ~ The Hits Re-imagined" from 2018.

She autographed a few of my albums of hers that are in my treasured music collection. "The Best of Lynn Anderson" from 1968 is extra special when I was little.

**I want to make a correction. I meant to say Sheena debuted within the Top 40 of the Hot 100 at #40 and went on to peak at #7. Sorry for the confusion.

It was the 5th week in the Hot 100 that "Strut" entered the Top 40.

I acquire my information from the book: "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits".
This is the 45 RPM vinyl of the single release, "STRUT" by Sheena Easton. It's a gray label with "EMI America" at the center top in various colors including orange, yellow and green along with other information including (From the LP) "A Private Heaven", etc. This is "LETTERS FROM THE ROAD", the 45 RPM vinyl B-side of the single release, "STRUT" by Sheena Easton.
