My guest this week is singer and songwriting legend Sylvia Tyson. Tyson started performing professionally in 1959 as one-half of the internationally acclaimed folk duo, Ian and Sylvia. She wrote her first song, which turned out to be one of her most successful ever! “You Were On My Mind” was a hit for Ian and Sylvia in 1962, and three years later it reached number 3 on the Billboard chart for a group called We Five. Through the sixties and early seventies, Ian and Sylvia produced thirteen popular albums and toured extensively in North America and Europe, sharing their manager, Albert Grossman, with such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, The Band, and Janis Joplin. The duo went their separate ways in 1977, and Sylvia went on to have an extensive solo career. Enjoy my conversation with Sylvia Tyson, and please subscribe to the podcast for free on iTunes!
