SYLVIA TELLES - CY MANIFOLD

Sylvia Telles tells she went to see Dr. Urbano Fabrini and had major cosmetic surgery done on her on 19 October 1963 at Clinica Pio XII where she stayed for 2 days and then more than a month at home to get over. 

Here's what she says about the operation: "Não fiz apenas 4 operações, fui mais longe: fiz seis! Afilei o nariz, amendoei ligeiramente os olhos, perdi o duplo queixo (papinho), tirei um pedaço de osso da bacia e enxertei no queixo. Enfim, pode-se dizer que fiz uma recauchutagem geral!

Cy Manifold (Ciril Manifold Dover) was born on 27 April 1929, in Georgetown, Guyana. In 1952 while singing at an Anglican Church choir he met 4 other guys and formed a vocal group called The Four Lords with David Gordon, Billy Moore, Artie Bell and Johnny Bradford. 

In June 1958, they traveled to Brazil and started singing in night-clubs and radio stations in Boa Vista, Rio Branco, then they went to Manaus-AM, Belém-PA, São Luiz-MA, Fortaleza-CE, Natal-RN, João Pessoa-PB, Recife-PE; Maceió-AL, Aracajú-SE, Salvador-BA and São Paulo-SP. 

When they finally reached Rio de Janeiro they had coalesced as great outfit and managed to sign with posh night-clubs like Fred's and Plaza. Cy Manifold eventually pursued a solo career recording youth-oriented rhythms as rock'n'roll, twist and hully-gully.

Cyrus Manifold , que iniciou sua carreira artística como sapateador-cantor, veio para o Brasil em 1958, integrando um conjunto de calypso - uma dessas célebres 'steel-bands' - denominado The Four Lords, que começou sua trajetória em solo brasileiro fazendo primeiramente as cidades do Norte até atingir o Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. 

Em seguida o conjunto foi amigávelmente desfeito e Cy passou a atuar por conta própria, logo merecendo os aplausos do público frequentador de boîtes como 'Crepúsculo' e outras.
