Such a lovely, lovely lady. So talented, so beautiful, such a voice. Though I have yet to see her perform, I have adored her on record and film since I first discovered I&S in the late 1960s. I wish more people knew what fundamental pioneers she (and Ian) were to the folk scene and music in general. (I understand it was they who introduced both Gordon Lightfoot and Das Bob around in the dawn days of Greenwich Village .) Great to see her in this great video. May she prosper for many years to come.
Wow! What a treat to discover this interview! I have been a huge fan of Ian & Sylvia since I first heard them in 1966. Sylvia has the most amazing voice, her vibrato is so rich and perfectly appropriate for the kind of music she sings, it touches my soul! I still listen to Ian & Sylvia regularly. Until recently, I lived in "tornado alley" in the Great Plains, and occasionally a visitor to my music room would ask why there were about six CDs sticking out about an inch from the rest along my many shelves of music. I would reply . . . whenever there is a tornado warning I grab my Bible and those six CDs before heading to my tornado shelter under the landing of my stairs. One of those CDs was Ian & Sylvia's Greatest Hits!
I really like this lady. Sylvia Tyson is an understated legendary performer, singer and song writer who doesn't seem to have a big ego! She's just a very talented creative artist who loves what she does. She looks fabulous by the way and years younger then her age. A good life.
I bought one of her and Ian,s first albums .Lovely music and wonderful harmony.I had an opportunity to hear Sylvia as part of Quartet in her home town of Chatham a number of years ago..I brought there album.and still play it in my car.Sylvia along with Ian were part of the opening up and exposure of some the great musical talent that Canada has produced.She iis a class act.
Oh my what a find so absolutely wonderful to see you Ms Tyson. Your 1968 album Nashville with Mr. Ian hit me surprisingly unexpectedly and tremendously deeply... back in the day conscription and all that down under. You know. Thank you for the music. And the interview Mr. David. Peace.
As a young lad I have always loved folk music. Spending a lot of time in Canada where most of our family lived I got turned on to folk and country music and I just loved the voices of Ian and Sylvia.
In '66 I recall my brother coming home to Atlanta from Brown U. and he had all these albums of folks I never heard of. Among them was Ian and Sylvia, the Fugs, Bob Dylan, and others. I personally never got the Ian and Sylvia love.
Saw Ian and Sylvia at Randolph Macon in Lynchburg in 1965. The guys were crazy for her and the girls were all in love with Ian. They were excellent and right on the money on their songs. Have everything they ever did. I have all their stuff in vinyl and CD's. Both were their on person and together they cannot be matched.
When I was young in the '60's, this is who my family was listening to! So great to discover this interview! Ian & Sylvia were how I learned to sing harmony! Thank-you for that and all of your music!
Sylvia's a great woman and she's such a realist. This is a good interview, but she's always interesting. Brings back memories of standing behind Ian Tyson outside the New Gate of Cleve.
Twila Tharp even when other women go through plastic surgery to remain glamorous, Sylvia is a natural beauty who is still beautiful after all these long years. S he’s an amazing woman. And a legend, too.
I went to Fordham University in the Bronx NY. I remember seeing posters that Ian & Sylvia were playing at the Campus Center many times. Never knew they were as good as they were. Too bad I never got to see them there since I was a local kid who went home every night. Four Strong Winds is one of my favorite songs!
I am looking forward to seeing Sylvia in concert in October. I am from Gordon Lightfoots hometown, Orillia Ontario. I hope to get her to autograph my Ian and Sylvia CD. I'm looking forward to it.
@@dionlindsay2 modern feminists scrutinize every word today , just looking for an argument , right Dion . At one time Julian's comment would have been an obvious compliment to Sylvia .... not in todays WOKE sick world !
@@WilliamMurray-lr1bb Yep, that's probably why it looked weird for a second. That and I'm a literal kind of person. If it had been "...any of us should have married" I don't think I would have given a 2nd thought to it . Can see the point of that. But "we ALL should have married"?
@@dionlindsay2 It should have read "the kind of girl we all should of married". All of them couldn't marry one woman, that's why it seems odd to say it that way.
Is Sylvia still living somewhere? It is 4/9/22. I adore her . Ian said jokingly she is "bossy" . I am 77 and single. You can bossy me anytime honey. By the way I have several of you 33lps and saw you and Ian first on black and white t.v. in the 60s Hootenanny weekly folk show. I was in high school. Your voice blew me away...
Sylvia looks amazing, wow! I’m a big fan of her voice and of course You We’re On My Mind.
Sylvia was always one of my favorite folk singers.

I love my Ian and Sylvia LPs ,4 Strong winds, Northern Journey and Greatest Hits .
I miss her. But I’m so glad she’s still living and doing what she loved to do. Such amazing singer.

Yeah... you are right, what a treat. I am a fan too and have always loved their music.
Such a beautiful soul. Great to see her currently and thankful for her music. I loved “Nobody”.👍🏻💗

I am always a fan of hers from my New York days
"Creators Of Rain" is the first Ian and Sylvia I remember. I loved it, and it brought me into their other music.
She looks amazing... Lovvvvve Four winds song....🧡
She does look amazing... shwing, she's a babe (as Wayne would say)

Golden voices- in a Golden Age! They were my Heroes!

Stll good memories of of folk song by Ian and Sylvia. Hear hear

What a talented and pretty lady.
Sylvia is strikingly articulate in addition to being a beautiful person.
Bought my first album in 1964 and have always loved them.
That was a really lovely, calm, and informative interview. I just loved it.
😄😄I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 the song but when last did you play it

!!! Thank You !!!!!
This was a good interview! Wow, Sylvia writes murder mysteries now! Will love to read her works.
WOW! Still beautiful.
Well I learned a thing or two here. Good to bring up David Wilcox, who is such an unsung hero. I look up Sylvia's books
Wonderful interview, wish I knew when this was
I am looking forward to seeing Sylvia in concert in October. I am from Gordon Lightfoots hometown, Orillia Ontario. I hope to get her to autograph my Ian and Sylvia CD. I'm looking forward to it.
She still sings in concert?
@@carolv8450 Yes she does small clubs here and there. COVID stopped the tour but she does perform every now and then.
Sylvia Tyson is the woman we all should have married
That looks so strange. Kind of disrespectful of Sylvia. But I suppose it means there's something about her that would be good for any man?

I'd take Judith Durham first with Sylvia a close second . ps Judith passed 8/5/22 in Australia RIP she was 79 ...

"Low maintenance." I admire that.
Ilove her posture
Low maintenance Canadians... hahaha so funny but so good!
