Vocalist Sylvia Striplin joined <a href="spotify:artist:3isYg6esLI9mPQ5IzXp5lD">Aquarian Dream</a> for the jazz-funk/disco group's second album and stayed with them through their early-'80s breakup. Shortly after that, she became associated with <a href="spotify:artist:6R9Mv0bgGE4Tqxna1q5Mrj">Roy Ayers</a> and his Uno Melodic label; not only was she part of the short-lived <a href="spotify:artist:3OFGFjAzm030YXGPDQ4Sio">Eighties Ladies</a> project guided by <a href="spotify:artist:6R9Mv0bgGE4Tqxna1q5Mrj">Ayers</a> (which released a lone album, Ladies of the '80s, on Uno Melodic in 1980), but she also released some solo material with significant help from the jazz-funk legend. An excellent single with "Give Me Your Love" as the A-side and "You Can't Turn Me Away" was released by 1980 on Uno Melodic. A follow-up album was released roughly a year after the single. Though Striplin never attained mainstream success, her sweet voice is instantly recognized by devout fans of jazzy R&B and those who made up England's "rare groove" scene of the early '90s. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
