Mickey & Sylvia had one of the biggest hits of 1956 with “Love is Strange.” Released on Groove Records, a copy of the 45 is worth up to $50.00. But you can’t say Sylvia Vanderpool is a one-hit-wonder as she went on to produce hits like “Love On a Two Way Street” for the Moments in 1970 and “Shame Shame Shame” for Shirley & Company in 1975. In 1973, Sylvia also recorded the hit, “Pillow Talk,” which went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her debut album with Mickey, “New Sounds,” was released by Vik Records in 1957 and can sell for $350.00 today.
