Not much info about Sydney Youngblood other than the fact that he is a German-American singer who will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for the enormous title "If only I could" released in 1989.
Single which will literally set fire to every Dancefloor on the planet this year and which will undoubtedly remain as one of the biggest Dance Hits of the 1980s.
As such alone, he deserved this article.

Tracks :
1988 ... a luxury cover of Bill Withers' cult title from 1971 as an appetizer. A good job but not enough to hope to play on equal terms with the Greats ...
1988 ... a first title, this time original, but above all of quality and which proves that the singer has potential, it is clear. It only remains to find the title that will make all the difference ...
1989 ... the title that will make all the difference, here it is ! The singer delivers here quite simply one of the biggest dance hits of the end of the 80s and fits One Shot into the musical legend of the 80s. MO-NU-MEN-TAL !
1989 ... a new mega hit in the wake, the singer literally walks on water. An exceptional end of the 1980s in all respects for the artist who became one of the biggest phenomena of the moment
1990 ... unfortunately, the transition to the 90s will prove to be much more complicated to manage than expected. Especially when we start again in the luxury covers with this revisited version of the title of Etta James dating from 1968. The cover is of quality but the sanction in the Charts is immediate : direct fall ...
1991 ... fortunately, this title will allow the singer to save the furniture and to return to success. But not sure that this is enough to restore sufficient momentum for the rest of the events ...
1991 ... a dynamic which unfortunately does not last despite a title of more than certain quality. The decline is irreversible and nothing, and no one, can stop it ...
1993 ... after an empty year 1992, we witness a very furtive return of success. But it will indeed be the last because this time, mass is said ...
1993 ... the adventure continues for good and the singer still believes in it. Rightly so when we see what he continues to offer. But the public went elsewhere ...
1994 ... an excellent Dance song which unfortunately went completely under the radar. When it doesn't want anymore, it doesn't want anymore. End of the adventure ...
2014...or so we imagined. Because here he is again almost 20 years and it is obvious that he is not coming back to only do some figuration...
2014...unfortunately despite a desire to do well, the return to the front of the stage is almost a miracle in the middle of the 2010 decade...
2014...at least he tried. In any case, there will still have been happy people in history, namely its basic fans...
2018...and here he is again 4 years later ! He won't let go until the end and it doesn't matter if there is success as long as he takes pleasure in what he does...
2018... he will have tried everything but unfortunately it was not enough. And this despite the fact that he has adapted perfectly to the latest musical trends of the moment...
2018...what is certain is that he will go as far as he can. And as the artists of the 80s become 'trendy' again at the end of the 2010s, everything is still possible...
2020... he thinks that since it doesn't work with Dance he will try the unlikely return thanks to a special Christmas title. Bet failed again...
2021... after that no one is going to blame him for at least trying. It remains to be seen whether he will have the courage to continue the adventure a little further...
