What Happened To '80s/'90s R&B/Pop Singer Sybil?
R&B/Pop singer and songwriter Sybil Lynch, known simply as Sybil, was born in Patterson, New Jersey. Both of her parents were huge music lovers, especially jazz and R&B. Her grandmother listened to a lot of gospel so, Sybil got an ear full in the home growing up of many different genres. She was also exposed to other types of music outside the family since she had a very mixed friend group that loved Lynyrd Skynyrd, ACDC and Def Leopard. It wasn’t until she recorded what would be her first single called “Falling in Love” and was offered the opportunity to go on tour that she officially made the decision to go full steam ahead on the pursuit of a career in music.

Sybil's self-titled sophomore album is turning 35 this year
Walk on by was my jam when I was in grade school! ❤
I still listen and sing “Falling In Love” 😍
The good ole days! I was a kid when I discovered Sybil! I love how she covered Dionne Warwick hits! ❤
I remember her music as a kid such a beautiful voice ❤
While I appreciate Dione Warrick’s original version, Sybil did the DAMN thing on Walk On By and Don’t Make Me Over. Those two songs along with Falling in Love used to be on repeat each and everytime on my yellow SONY walkman lol. My favorite album cover of Sybil is on her Greatest Hits CD. Her hair, smile and beauty was mesmerizing in that picture.

I loved me some Sybil. Very beautiful & talented. Falling in love among others was & still is my favorite
Such a down to earth beautiful lady❤❤❤Met her a few yrs ago. She’s doing well.
Omg! Memories!!!🥰
I'm not familiar with her 🤔 I grew up in the 90s, but didn't remember hearing her music. This was interesting! I'll have to check her music out. Great video, as always!! 😊
she has a superstar smile
I used to teach with her. She’s doing VERY WELL!
I had the pleasure of working with Sybil while I was in college. She has a bright spirit and is such a sweet lady!!
I still listen to Sybil. That voice is awesome.
Love “Don’t Make Me Over”
What's interesting is that we used to hear her music all the time on HOT 97 FM in New York City (before they changed their format to all hip-hop and R&B), but we really never thought of her as an R&B artist. My friends and I always thought of her as a "Dance / Pop" artist. I guess she technically was making R&B music, but she wasn't really thought of in that way.
Here for this one !🎉
Juicy pop Wednesdays ❤️🔥
I got the Good'n'Ready album for my 12th birthday! Great memories of that album.
Don't make me over was my stuff when I was a kid. I thought I was gonna hit a move with that!😂
I agree with her 💯 !! I miss real music and real singing/talent! ❤
Oh wow! I just recently acquired the first album on Vinyl last year. Still hunting for it on CD.
I’m glad she doing very well

...Sybil (along with Cece Peniston) hit when *DANCE CLUB MUSIC* was primed to be the 'sound' of the 90's...but, when R&B hit in 1993 (R. Kelly, Silk, Jodeci), they started to falter; it was RARE for an Artist to have 2 COMPLETELY different Albums out the same time, but Sybil is RIGHT, about 'brown' acts pushed to the wayside.....She was SAW's BEST Singer, behind Donna Summer....
“Don’t make me over” are such as a deep bop timeless.
Love her! She’s so right. As an up-and-coming artist myself, the industry is focused on looks, and not talent. I was born in the wrong generation, and I know most haven’t even heard of the term ARTIST DEVELOPMENT! Half of these artists wouldn’t have made it in the Motown and real record label days.

You’re absolutely right. The mainstream artists today would NEVER have made it back then, in fact, they wouldn’t have even made it on MTV Unplugged or BET’s Spring Break Special when artists actually had to have talent, artist development and training before performing LIVE.
Sybil did the right thing leaving the industry.
Interesting... Sybil Lynch. To be honest, all I know and love from Ms. Sybil is 1993's _You're the Love of My Life._ I actually listen to that song all the time as it's basically my childhood in a bottle. It's like the sweetest burst of nostalgia ever. I simply never bothered to follow up on her music. I will soon though. She had a good voice. Image and competition are always the elephants in the room. The music industry wanted women to look like Ms. Janet Jackson. Consumers didn't care. Were women in the '80s concerned about Mr. Vandross weight or were they concerned about whether he was gon turn it out when he stepped foot on that stage or not? When Men At Large came out w/ 1992's _So Alone,_ wasn't nobody concerned about they weight. We just loved the song because it got us through difficult times. When Ms. Kelly Price hit the scene w/ 1998's _Friend of Mine,_ I don't remember consumers complaining about her weight. We were simply floored because she was sangin' so doggon good. And then you have competition. Who was Ms. Sybil competition during the early '90s? Well, you had Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and Toni Braxton. I mean... (shrugs shoulders) How do you compete in a marketplace w/ women who are guaranteed 24/7 airplay? Each woman had a huge machine behind them. Ms. Sybil was on Next Plateau Records. Chile...

I bet it probably floored her to be accepted overseas. Sybil had me sangin 😉. There's too much politics in the music industry.
☺️👌🏼🙌🏼🙂😄👏🏼😁😃💪🏼😳🤙🏼
Sybil just need to be honest and say " i left the industry because I couldn't sell records". There were plenty of untalented singers out when she was popular, the industry has always been about looks. Janet Jackson, Madonna, pebbles and many other lack vocal talent so please stop acting as if that's a new phenomenon. Even the singer Karyn White spoke-out back then about how talented singers don't get as much recognition as untalented singers.

I know you didn’t bring Janet Jackson into this. Excuse me. Not everyone sings on Mariah, Whitney, or Toni level. Janet is one of the few artists to not lip sync while giving a raw performance. Outta here with that disrespect.
