Legendary New York Doll, Sylvain Sylvain Has Died (1951-2021)

Legendary New York Doll, Sylvain Sylvain Has Died (1951-2021)

The news is slowly circulating about the passing of the legendary Sylvain Sylvain, an original member of the influential New York Dolls at age 69. The musician lost his battle with cancer and we are saddened by the loss. He joins the other members of the band who’ve left before him and leaves singer David Johansen as the last surviving member. Growing up when I did I’d have to say that The Dolls…

Ian Dickson     Sylvain Mizrahi Sylvain of the New York Dolls, Kensington, London     1973

“I was probably one of the last immigrants to sail into New York harbour to be greeted by the Statue of Liberty... I would be standing there in my fucking brown shoes and people would say, ‘You speak English?’ I’d say no. They’d say, ‘Fuck you.’ The first words I learned when I got off the boat were ‘fuck you.’” Sylvain Sylvain

Former New York Doll Sylvain Sylvain Dead at 69

Former New York Dolls rhythm guitarist Sylvain Sylvain died Jan. 13 after fighting cancer, his wife, Wanda O’Kelley Mizrahi, said on Facebook.

“While we grieve his loss, we know that he is finally at peace and out of pain,” she wrote. “Please crank up his music, light a candle, say a prayer and let’s send this beautiful Doll on his way.”

Sylvain was 69.

Now the last surviving member of the original lineup, Dolls frontman David Johansen called Sylvain “my best friend for so many years” and recalled their first meeting in a rehearsal space in New York.

“I instantly loved him,” Johansen, aka Buster Poindexter, wrote on Facebook. “I’m gonna miss you, old pal. I’ll keep the home fires burning.”

The Dolls formed in 1971 and released their self-titled, Todd Rundgren-produced debut in ‘73. The New York Dolls represented a glam-to-punk bridge that inspired more musicians than record sales.

“I idolized the New York Dolls as a kid ... the(y) were like superheroes to me,” William DuVall wrote on Facebook. Meanwhile, the Waterboys’ Mike Scott tweeted: “Travel on well, Sylvain Sylvain, you all-time-great rock-and-roller.”

The Dolls, whom Mike McCready called “heroes to my heroes,” recorded a followup LP, Too Much, Too Soon, in ’74. But the band dissolved by ’76 as punk was emerging.

Writing on Twitter, the Sex Pistols’ Glen Matlock lamented “the sad news ... that Sylvain Sylvain has left the building” and a “speechless” Kathy Valentine said: “No, no, no, no. It's too much.”

Steven Van Zandt said the former Doll “lives forever in the Underground Garage,” a reference to his radio show.

“Great, great guy. Very talented. Underrated. Always welcoming positive energy,” the E Streeter wrote on Facebook.

After working on various other projects apart and together, Johansen and Sylvain launched a 21st-century version of the Dolls. Aaron Lee Tasjan was one of the players who passed through the group and he remembered his friend and former bandmate as, “pure rock ‘n’ roll poetry in motion.

“He said I should change my name to Aaron Lee Aaron,” he tweeted. “I already miss you, brother!”

New York Dolls “New York Dolls” 1973. I’m spinning the Dolls’ debut album in tribute to Sylvain Sylvain, the Dolls rhythm guitarist, whose death was reported yesterday (b. Sylvain Mizrahi, February 14th, 1951, d. January 13th, 2021). We got a chance to see Sylvain perform once, sometime between ‘98 and 2000 (probably when he toured to promote his solo album Sleep Baby Doll) in Milwaukee, we think at The Globe, maybe Vnuk’s, but while we can remember exactly what he was wearing (a newsboy style hat, a purple scarf) we cannot recall the exact year or venue. Sylvain’s look was always unique and he was the Dolls member primarily responsible for the band’s over-the-top look

New York Dolls was a commercial failure at the time of its release, its glammy hard rock protopunk lost on pretty much everyone. However in retrospect the album has been recognized as a huge influence to the development of punk rock with the bands DIY and anti-establishment aesthetic and attitude. It had been my intention to focus solely on UK/London punk bands this week. However it is no stretch at all to directly connect Sylvain and the Dolls to 70′s punk; without the Dolls there would have been no Sex Pistols (Malcolm McLaren briefly managed the Dolls very shortly before helping to form the Sex Pistols), no Damned, Buzzcoks, etc., not even The Smiths (Morrissey was a MASSIVE Dolls fan). Anyway! New York Dolls has so many classic tracks: “Personality Crisis” and “Trash” (both tracks released as a double-A-side single; they did not chart), “Pills,” “Frankenstein” and “Jet Boy” (the other single from the LP, I’m fairly certain it also did not chart).
