Sylvia Syms Tribute
Here is a great song, performed by Sylvia Syms, a singer's singer, a supperclub siren with a tough but appealing style that compellingly conveys the meaning of each lyric. Sylvia Syms (1917 - 1992) was a jazz singer. She was born Sylvia Blagman in Brooklyn, New York. As a teenager, she went to jazz-oriented nightclubs on New York's 52nd Street, and received informal training from Billie Holiday. Her personal friendships with Billie Holiday and Mildred Bailey led to her absorbing elements of their craft. In 1941 she made her debut at a club called Billy's Stable. In 1948, performing at the Cinderella Club in Greenwich Village, she was seen by Mae West, who gave her a part in a show she was doing. Among others who observed her in night clubs was Frank Sinatra who considered her the "world's greatest saloon singer". Sinatra subsequently conducted her 1982 album "Syms by Sinatra". She was signed to a record company by Decca Records, having her major success with a recording of "I Could Have Danced All Night" in 1956. She sang everything from cabaret music to light jazz. Her claim to fame is her versatility in singing, making every song original in its style and sound. During her long career, Sylvia Syms recorded more than 15 albums in several different genres. Her musical contribution is that of singing several different styles of music with one voice. She died in New York City from natural causes, aged 74. Enjoy Sylvia's unique style and voice!

---- Part 1 of 9 Click the link below for part 2: www.youtube.com Amazons of Rome (1962) starring Sylvia Syms, Louis Jourdan, Nicole Courcel and Ettore Manni. Directed by Vittorio Cottafavi and Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia. Amazons of Rome is an absurdist Peplum comedy with a decidedly French flair when it comes to its views about war, politics and the battle of the sexes. It's very light and colorful, sorta like "Gidget goes to War" but it has a farcical view of all things political and the differences between men and women that elevates it from a silly teenage comedy. Famous French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier said that this was one of his favorite films of all time. He obviously got a kick on how the film makes fun of war and politics and probably had an eye on Nicole Courcel who plays the "villainess" in a very regal manner. This film has many qualities, including the cinematography which is one of the best looking Peplums I've ever seen. Make sure to watch the clips in High Quality. The production values are excellent and the cast is unusually strong, with the exception of Louis Jourdan playing a Barbarian. He's too much of a gentlemen to play a Barbarian. Sylvia Syms is cute and Ettore Manni, with the eye patch, steals the show whenever he's on screen. Though the film's director is credited as Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, it was also co-directed by the brilliant Vittorio Cottafavi, who directed some of the best S&S films. The original Italian title "Le Vergini di Roma <b>...</b>

Here's Sylvia Syms singing one of the great numbers from the musical 'Gypsy'. In her version of "Some People" for no-known reason she changes the line "some people can be content playing Bingo and paying rent" to "some people can be content playing Mahjong and paying rent" - It is still a great version.
