Sylvia Tyson, {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|CM}} (born 19 September 1940), is a musician, performer, singer-songwriter and broadcaster.[1] She is best known as part of the folk duo Ian and Sylvia. Since 1993, she has been a member of the all-female folk group Quartette.[1][2]

Early life

Tyson was born Sylvia Fricker in Chatham, Ontario.[3] She was the second of four children;[4] her father was an appliance salesman for the T. Eaton Company, and her mother was a church organist and choir leader.[5] At a young age Fricker decided to become a singer; although her parents tried to discourage her from pursuing a career as an entertainer, she left Chatham in 1959 to perform in Toronto.[4]

Ian & Sylvia

From 1959 to 1974, she was half of the popular folk duo Ian & Sylvia with Ian Tyson.[6][7] The two met after a friend of Tyson's heard her sing at a party and let Ian know about her; Tyson had been performing in Toronto clubs as a solo artist, but after he and Fricker met, they decided to work together as a duo.[8] From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, she and Ian Tyson also fronted the country rock band Great Speckled Bird.

Sylvia wrote her first and best-known song "You Were on My Mind" in 1962. It was recorded by Ian & Sylvia in 1964.[9] The song has been covered extensively,[10] and became a hit single in the mid-1960s for the San Francisco-based folk-rock band We Five and also for the British pop singer Crispian St. Peters.

Fricker married Ian Tyson on 26 June 1964.[11] During their years together they recorded 13 albums.[3]

The Tysons were divorced in 1975.[12] During their marriage, they had one child, Clayton Dawson (Clay) Tyson.[13]

Later career

After the Tysons separated and stopped performing together in 1975, Sylvia started a solo career;[3] she released two albums through Capital Records, Woman's World in 1975 and Cool Wind from the North in 1976.[14] She then established an independent record label, Salt Records, in 1978.[15] Through this label she released the albums, Satin on Stone in 1978 and Sugar for Sugar in 1979.[14][16]

Sylvia Tyson contributed offstage to the Canadian music scene as a board member of FACTOR and the Juno Awards. With Tom Russell, she was an editor of the 1995 anthology And Then I Wrote: The Songwriter Speaks ({{ISBN|9781551520230}}).[15] In 2011, she wrote her first novel, a 420-page book entitled Joyner's Dream.[9]

Awards and recognition

Sylvia Tyson was made a member of the Order of Canada in 1994.[17]

She was nominated seven times for a Juno Award, the first being in 1987 as Country Female Vocalist of the Year.

The Canadian Music Hall of Fame inducted Ian & Sylvia as a duo in 1992. In 2003, Sylvia Tyson herself was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.[18]
