This year marks the 35th anniversary of Sylvia's No. 1 smash crossover hit "Nobody," which dominated the country music charts, leading the acclaimed singer to win the ACM award for "Female Vocalist of the Year." The chart-topping vocalist shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, as she returns to the legendary Grand Ole Opry this Saturday for another uplifting performance.
"I can't imagine a better way to celebrate the 35th
Anniversary of 'Nobody' topping the charts than to perform it on the Grand Ole Opry," says Sylvia. "I've been listening to the Opry my whole life. In fact, my earliest memory of listening to the Opry was during a road trip from Kokomo,
Indiana to Lafayette, Tennessee on a Friday night to visit my grandparents. It makes me wonder what little child might be out there listening this Saturday night dreaming of someday standing on that stage..."
After high school graduation, Sylvia moved to Nashville to realize her dream of becoming a recording artist and in a few short years signed with RCA Records. The rest is history! Sylvia is detailing her full career journey on her web series "Sylvia:
The View From Here," produced by The Nashville Soundbite. In the latest episode, the songstress opens up about her early career when she auditioned for the part of Daisy Duke in the hit series "The Dukes of Hazzard." Even though ultimately she didn't get the part, the story came full circle when Daisy Duke actress Catherine Bach was the presenter the year Sylvia picked up the award for "Female Vocalist of the Year" at the ACM Awards.
