Sy Hightower

Song writer, producer, vocalist, "Sy" Sylvester Hightower hails from West Palm Beach, Florida, where he attended Roosevelt High school with Jerry Pittman. He later moved to Houston, Texas and joined Lavell Kamma and The Hundred Hour Counts band. When Hightower arrived in Los Angeles he reconnected with Pittman who, with Carmelita would stop by Hightower's place to listen to his music.

Several Hightower tunes made their way into recordings overseen by West Coast legend Willie Hoskins.
Pittman produced Hightower’s music for Carmen Records and sang background vocals with Carmelita who can be heard reaching the high notes.
