==Early life==
Syd was born in Durban, South Africa.〔http://www.rock.co.za/legends/2000plus/aquarian_live.htm〕 At a young age he started singing in the local church.
His parents ran a weekly Saturday night session at the local football club and one Saturday Syd sang with the local band called The Kittens. The crowd so loved his performance that every Saturday he would join the band to sing a few songs. In 1967 his band Parkinson's Law came second in the Durban Battle of the Bands.〔http://www.whoswhosa.co.za/sydney-kitchen-8631〕
