42 years ago today, April 7, 1984, Sylvia debuted at #81 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Victims of Goodbye”. It went on to peak at #24 and spent a total of 14 weeks on the chart.

Just returned from a road trip to the lower 48 with my grandma and this song had just been released. I’d save my pennies to be able to always buy Sylvia’s singles and her albums.
