I love the harmony of this song. Please post their performance of this song; I think is was on Soul Train. I love listening to Edmund singing. After all these years he still steal my heart when I hear him sing. R.I. P.
If you guys have not yet, please go like their offical page in facebok and join their message board at yahoo for updates and up and coming projects from the fam
Shooting your windows out was some bull but I know they were just trying her to see what she was gonna do. So glad she stood up to their punk asses lol!!!
It does to me! I've heard many stories like that especially involving gang recruiting. During that time gang members would knock on your door like 'where are your sons'! If there was any resistance well you can only imagine. Single moms in the inner-city went through alot.
Just a thought....what the DEVIL was Shirley Sylvers talking about during the story about some "guys" who "Called and said they were gonna shoot out her win dows?" Who calls someone ahead of time and tells them they're going to do a driveby? Who were the guys? How did they get your phone number? How did they know your Address? Why did they choose your family.....AND THEN CALL TO NOTIFY YOU OF AN UPCOMING DRIVEBY? Something doesn't add up here!
@poetgrande08 That was a different time. Everyones phone number number was in the white pages. No caller ID back then. Those boys were trying to intimidate Ms. Shirely and she wasnt having it. You see she said they kept walking about their business when she showed that rifle lol. They were young and stupid and living in the projects trying to be tough. Thank God she got her children out of that environment. Sorry for what happened to Olympia.
@Nanadsyl Exactly! Some are just too cynical wow. Plus she had 9 walking talking kids in a small area...you can get info easily. People actually went outside,mingled before all this technology haha. Things don't always make sense when you live in a concrete prison like that. PLUS Unsung is known for chopping up stories to save time. So many bad things happened to them...Miss Shirley was just going down the list. Unsung just zeroed in on some of it. They needed more than an hour.
@RememberTheTime09 Thats correct. Girl we played outside until the lights came on and then as long as I was on my friends porch I didnt have to come in the house until I heard my momma yell for me. I completely understand those times. Even though I wasnt in the projects kids still played the same. Girl we'd see a cute boy over at the basketball court and wear his phone number out. His poor mama was sick of us. So you know Ms. Shirley was always catching all kinds of calls.
Been looking for this song for soooo long but didnt know the name of it...thank you for puting this on here for us people that need good music these days :)
@nanadsyl i know she was but i read foster has many kids and he is a register sex offender he has a great voice dnt understand. but misdeamor is my jam.
Recently discovering The Sylvers reminds me of finding a hidden overlooked Christmas present during the summertime. I'm forever grateful!!! I want to give an overdue thank you to the Sylvers!
Im Free!! So many others arent. I wish more kids grew up with this music. Share their message where you can. It may change a life as Pat was saying in Unsung. Thats what they want their music to do especially this project laying down the pop for substance.
OMG TELL ME WHY I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT!?! This song is HOT and it showcases their harmonies/talent like a mutha!! I'm a 29 year old die hard Jacksons/J5 fan but to me, this song proves that The Sylvers were just as good as The Jacksons--even on the same page. Too bad they didn't get the same recognition. Could you imagine if The Sylvers and The Jacksons did a collaboration together??? OMG!!! That would've been hotness in a can sold in a store near you ROFL!!
I too, finished viewing Unsung! Though, I am J5 fan for life(I am from Gary), I still respected the Sylvers. I just cant believe what the heck the family went through- Wow! Seem like them and the Debarges went through the same strifes and snarls of the music industry and life. I even left a comment on the Sylvers Unsung referring to the outing of Leon. I paraphrase, "I am down for outing Leon(actor) from the Five Heartbeats(movie), but Leon from the Sylvers.Not Good! Great Trax!
THIS IS ONLY THE "UMPTEENTH" TIME I'VE BEEN ON THIS SITE TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG....THE SONG IS SIMPLY HEAAAAVEN. BEAUTY, BEAUTY, JOY, JOY, HARMONY...BLUE SKY...BRIGHT SUN...GORGEOUS SUNRISE....BREATHTAKING DUSK...AWESOME LANDSCAPES....VISIONS OF BEAUTIFUL AFROS/BLOW-OUTS...SOULFUL SOUL...MUSIC IS A GOD-GIVEN THING...ISN'T IT EVERYONE??
New Edition had to be huge fans of the Sylvers in their growing up, because the Edumund's breakdown after 3:37 - 4:44 is reminiscent of NE's earlier works with Bobby Brown. So many family groups were blueprints in R&B. The Sylvers and Debarge families are R&B royalty, IMO.
I've got to live my liiiiiiiiiiiiiife ooooooooooooooohhh. So smooth and harmonious! Truly a great song about self discovery, coming of age or simply turning over a new leaf. Blessings to the Sylvers family. I look forward to Mrs. Sylvers book in the future.
finally watched unsung featuring the sylvers. their mom shirley was protective of her ten babies. they can sang especially the harmonies mind blowed but was excited to watch it fianally. love the song misdeameanor with foster. edmund and christopher will be missed.hope they can make a sylvers album again with leon's production.
Just watched the unsung episode on the tvone website and i was like wow. Their manager should be ashamed for taking advantage of the family. Makes me wonder if some of the artists now have shady managers like that.
@shynymoon It should have been more on the mom to watch out for that at the end of the day since she was somewhat their momager (mom & manager). I am more of a Jacksons fan than Sylvers (I am an 80's child) and I was always curious on why they never was on that same popular level longevity wise as Debarge and The Jacksons (again I am an 80's child & those two family groups are from my era). Too bad the Sylver sibs besides Leon didn't really do much writing & prodcing.
I only heard this song a few times as a child. For the longest I thought this was done by The Jacksons & was mad that I couldn't find this on any of their albums.
I just heard this on last week's episode of "Unsung." I'm gonna buy this cut ASAP! Thanks for posting this.
Had never heard of them b4 watchin Unsung, they had sum nice soundin songs... But i dnt understand y sumone needs to come on a sylvers vid to discuss how much u disliked the jackson 5 and michael jackson.
...I could just listen to this over and over again...thank you so much for this post. any chance of getting this song live from their Soul Train performance?
@prettygirl95100 No ma'am I was a Sylvers fanatic LOL! I was listening to their rendition of Mahogany, Hoochie Coochie Dancin etc...I was never into the Jackson's at all LOL...The only time I liked Michael Jackson was when Whitney Houston performed Wanna Be Startin Something on their 30th Anniversary show. Now I like 4 songs by Mike. The Sylvers were the absolute best, choreography, harmony was the bomb dot com LOL
The Sylvers were BETTER after the "POP" era of "Boogie Fever"(Oh so popcorn!) with New Horizon and Especially "Forever Yours" LP. You got a lot of Play in the Chicago/Rockford Illinois Area. Everybody I played "Forever Yours" to off my "Boom Box" loved it. One of the TRULY underrated Love Ballard's of the 70's.
@prettygirl95100 Not true at all...It comes down to marketing and music style. I was still a Sylvers fan when MJ hit with off the wall. In fact I didn't like any songs on the off the wall LP...LOL
I'm like a lot of people here....I have a renewed interest and appreciation of this really talented and beautiful group. They seem so nice and they had the moves to back up their wonderful talent. Too bad that low-life and greedy manager came in an undermined Leon. I don't blame Leon, who can tell you you cannot write songs for the group you started? He went on to Shalimar, the Whispers and others. That proves they needed him but more they were FAMILY. Lesson learned!
@juniorpong1 Glad I was hanging around and found your comment. That's the first thing a low-life manager will try to do....break up a family. They just didn't have enough people with the right experience to watch their backs. I look at their singing and those wonderful moves and realize how beautiful they were and think 'we just never, ever know'. Thanks for the comment. Peace.
I've been listening to this song so much since yesterday. Love it! I'm glad for Leon stickin with his guns and making history @ Solar records. CLASSIC SONG!
This family was endowed with tremendous talent ability. It can be so unfair how talent never gets its full honor due to the politics of marketing and promotion!!! God BLESS this family through all that they've been through and God still sees fit for them-INDEED!
The story of the Sylvers is proof that no matter wear you come from, with talent, hard work and dedication you can go anywhere! In their neighborhood, your life was at risk doing something as simple as walking down the street. But with stubborn faith and aspirations of greatness, they all met their "new horizons" in Hollywood. But they also teach us that if we follow bad advice and listen to people who don't care about us over our own family, we may end up right where we started.
What a beautiful talented family. I knew them from "misdemeanor," did not realize they sang "Boogie Fever" I want to track down some of their songs now. Amazing story. 10 kids???? Wow....
Wow Unsung interview was EXPLOSIVE, I never knew what Olympia was going through. I had no clue Ricky & Foster were in prison for parole violations. I am glad they're getting it together. But I must say they sound good still. Angie was always my favorite. I didn't expect so much weight gain tho LOL, but I was glad to see them, and they all looked good. I must say I had the whole Leon situation mixed up, the group actually voted him out and got screwed in the end over a record contract SMDH
I just saw this UNSUNG episode..just minutes ago...this family's talent is THE BOMB...oh my goodness...truly a God given talent, to be sure. Leon Silvers' got the midas touch in writing, production, etc. Just my two cents. I'm a proud 70's child, and this era bought with it harmonies, and melodies such as this family with some seriousness ya'll. This song is BEAUTIFUL...thank you for this post. Peace!!
Sometimes you think you are alone in the things we do and see and hear, but when I typed in New Horizons/Sylvers and it came up with these comments..I tell you it is amazing how many of us think alike and love the same things...this was an underplayed song but I freakin' loved it...thank you Youtube and heyroz27
I,ve been down that long lost and lonely road.....now I am back to tell all that in order to move on in this world .... one must reach there new horizon. I did that and Now I am free. Love ya sylvers.........
As a pre-teen I must've sang this song 100 times, yet I didn't fully catch the meaning of it until I was a few years older. The Sylvers did many beautiful, thought-provoking songs. I miss them.
Can't believe just how beautiful this song gets each and every time I hear it; if I could wake up to this song each morning I would. So inspirational.
i love their sound a little more than J5....sorry J5, i luv u too of course, but their harmonies were TiGHTTTTTT!!!! Both groups are Amazing, but the Sylvers deserved WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more recognition than they got. very talented and blessed family of musicians, singers, dancers producers, writers, etc!
I relaly love this group...i hear a new song from them everyday....well not new to some of u guys but for me...i'm a 80's baby (1988) so this is so great that there was another talented family back in the day...it's sad that i never heard of them...the only reason y i know of them now was when the jacksons was talking about them....tisk tisk tisk
I grew up with the Jackson's and the Silvers were right there with this selection and we loved it thanks for uploading this. memories all over again "Nice"
Great song, great album. I have this LP but it should be on CD. This album first to be written and produced by the Sylvers with Leon at the helm. So the seeds of the SOLAR sound can be found in this album and you can hear it. After this Leon began producing Shalamar, the Whispers, Carrie Lucas and formed Dynasty. So this album is a historic document!
@DarrylM65 eventhough it was never played that much on the radio growing up i still remember the melody on hook after 30 years..that's the impression it left on me..i think i only heard this song on soul train
One of them should seriously write a book. Not too much is known about them. As we all know The Jacksons were the top family Soul group of the 70's and they got most of the media attention. BUT it seems The Sylvers were allowed to showcase their talent and ideas when the Jacksons had to wait until they signed with CBS.
Classic; timeless; ethereal; uplifting. The same Gamble and Huff positivity vibe as the Jacksons at that time. Yes, they need to be acknowledged as the class act that they were. Go Foster!, RIP Edmund.Thanks.
It was amazing when they came on Soul Train and sang this!! Mama just brought the album for my birthday from the PX at Cherry Point MCAS! The Sylvers were so underrated. This was their best!
I remember being in lone with Olympia Sylvers, not that she is on this album, but my mind just went back there. I always liked this too. A lot of different textures.
Hey Kpitt1204, I must agree with you Olympia was a true "Goddess". She was "Fine as frog hair"! I also concur with you, this was The Sylvers @ their best. Long live the '70
Thanx so much for posting this song. I've been waiting so long for this!!!.This is maybe the most overlooked of all of The Sylvers songs. Thanx again!!!!
I love the harmony of this song. Please post their performance of this song; I think is was on Soul Train. I love listening to Edmund singing. After all these years he still steal my heart when I hear him sing. R.I. P.

This family was endowed with tremendous talent ability. It can be so unfair how talent never gets its full honor due to the politics of marketing and promotion!!! God BLESS this family through all that they've been through and God still sees fit for them-INDEED!

The story of the Sylvers is proof that no matter wear you come from, with talent, hard work and dedication you can go anywhere! In their neighborhood, your life was at risk doing something as simple as walking down the street. But with stubborn faith and aspirations of greatness, they all met their "new horizons" in Hollywood. But they also teach us that if we follow bad advice and listen to people who don't care about us over our own family, we may end up right where we started.

What a beautiful talented family. I knew them from "misdemeanor," did not realize they sang "Boogie Fever" I want to track down some of their songs now. Amazing story. 10 kids???? Wow....

Wow Unsung interview was EXPLOSIVE, I never knew what Olympia was going through. I had no clue Ricky & Foster were in prison for parole violations. I am glad they're getting it together. But I must say they sound good still. Angie was always my favorite. I didn't expect so much weight gain tho LOL, but I was glad to see them, and they all looked good. I must say I had the whole Leon situation mixed up, the group actually voted him out and got screwed in the end over a record contract SMDH

I just saw this UNSUNG episode..just minutes ago...this family's talent is THE BOMB...oh my goodness...truly a God given talent, to be sure. Leon Silvers' got the midas touch in writing, production, etc. Just my two cents. I'm a proud 70's child, and this era bought with it harmonies, and melodies such as this family with some seriousness ya'll. This song is BEAUTIFUL...thank you for this post. Peace!!

As a pre-teen I must've sang this song 100 times, yet I didn't fully catch the meaning of it until I was a few years older. The Sylvers did many beautiful, thought-provoking songs. I miss them.

Great song, great album. I have this LP but it should be on CD. This album first to be written and produced by the Sylvers with Leon at the helm. So the seeds of the SOLAR sound can be found in this album and you can hear it. After this Leon began producing Shalamar, the Whispers, Carrie Lucas and formed Dynasty. So this album is a historic document!

One of them should seriously write a book. Not too much is known about them. As we all know The Jacksons were the top family Soul group of the 70's and they got most of the media attention. BUT it seems The Sylvers were allowed to showcase their talent and ideas when the Jacksons had to wait until they signed with CBS.

Classic; timeless; ethereal; uplifting. The same Gamble and Huff positivity vibe as the Jacksons at that time. Yes, they need to be acknowledged as the class act that they were. Go Foster!, RIP Edmund.Thanks.

I remember being in lone with Olympia Sylvers, not that she is on this album, but my mind just went back there. I always liked this too. A lot of different textures.

Hey Kpitt1204, I must agree with you Olympia was a true "Goddess". She was "Fine as frog hair"! I also concur with you, this was The Sylvers @ their best. Long live the '70
