30 years ago today Sybil entered the UK singles chart at #99 with Make It Easy On Me.
The song would peak at #99 and spend 1 week on the chart.
"Make It Easy on Me" is a song by American R&B singer Sybil, written and produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman. It was the third single released from her third album, Sybilization, in 1990.
While Sybil had landed a deal in the UK with Pete Waterman's PWL Records for her previous album, Sybil, the song was her first direct involvement with the producers Stock Aitken & Waterman, although some of her previous singles had been remixed by the production team and their associates on PWL Records. Sybil later worked with Mike Stock and Pete Waterman on her 1993 album Good 'N' Ready, on which a remixed version of the song is included.
"Make It Easy On Me", a mid-tempo R&B jam, received good reviews (especially for signalling a different, more soulful and mature sound atypical of the producers' Europop fare).
The pop group Steps covered the song on their 1999 album Steptacular.
