Sylvia Robinson, RIP

[Dr. Cheese]

Mother of Hip-Hop Dies


She was a significant performer in the 1950s and 1970s, but her record company, Sugar Hill, really made history.

All Things Considered (NPR) had a great story on her. Here is the transcription.

I particularly enjoyed the story on how "Rappers Delight' was made.

Yeah, that story was pretty interesting.

Love Is Strange has always brought a smile to my face. I always got the impression that they had a lot of fun cutting that track.

RIP, Sylvia.
