Here's an artist that I wouldn't recognise on the street. It's always been just about the music with Sybil and there's not too much information floating around about her.
Her full name is Sybil Anita Lynch and she was born in New Jersey in 1966. She began performing around 1983 and signed with Next Plateau Records in 1986. This was her first single for them.
"Falling In Love" was written by producers James Bratton and Dolores Drewry. After an unhurried intro , it's a slow burning late night R & B groove with an uncompromising drum machine balanced out by some stately piano chords and Sybil's warm vocal . The lyrics are nothing to write home about but don't need to be . It would slip very easily onto Trevor Nelson's radio show. For 1986, it wasn't immediate enough to be a smash without radio support but sustained club play allowed it to tickle the lower reaches of the chart.
