Focus III kept this same sound, but approached it with a jollier, more accessible tone. As with its predecessor, Focus III featured only one tune that would have a chance of being a hit single. The enjoyable rhythm of Sylvia, partnered with Jan Akkerman's victorious guitar solo, some of Van Leer's finest organ work, Bert Ruiter's tight basslines, and Pierre Van Der Linden's mellow drumming, assured the track classic status. Sylvia found worldwide success and gained the band valuable radio and press exposure. The song remains one of the most loved and.

I can definitely recommend it to everyone who has already heard the essentials like the debut album, Moving Waves and Hamburger Concerto. The music that is good here might actually be the best that Focus have ever recorded while the low points only suffer because they feel excessive
