“Sylvia” is a 1972 song by Dutch rock band Focus. It was released on their 1972 album Focus 3 and as a single on 27 January 1973. The single became the band’s biggest international hit.
The band’s Christmas 1972 appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test, along with a number of UK gigs in late 1972, was credited with exposing the band and helping the single reach number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. Apparently by week two the vinyl pressing plant was overwhelmed by demand for the 7 inch vinyl!!
