The music the Sylvers sang is so beautiful. But the Jackson 5 still wins. No one can ever reach the greatness of their music, but The Sylvers plus Foster got the closeness ever
This song has so many elements: deep, beautiful, amazingly intricate, a musical maze, soulful, pretty, solid, educational...this family was incredible.
Man all the greatest producers sampled from this spectacular group, 9th wonder, the producer he produced his rap group Little Brother and other big people like Jay-Z and Destiny's child, he used this sample for the David Banner song on his recent Album Death of a pop star, song is called Strange Ft. Big Remo, nice sample!
Who cares who sampled this before. Take it and do something original with it. Every damn thing worth sampling has been sampled already. Flip it your way and be happy.
9th didnt use the part ima use, and hey, whoever gets big 1st gets the spoils!haha, props on anyone saying they want to sample this, cause i can hear 3 DOPE and completely different beats out of this
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, oooooooooooooooh!! Isn't it strange that a man should never know, ridiculed for the thoughts he has somehow shown... to the world... So life labels me a dreamer, there's not a prayer for the 1 who's love for life no longer lingers... But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts as being a part of reality... But he's pushed aside... The Cry of a Dreamer Lives in your Minds & Hearts 4 ever !! The Dreamer Lives Forever... I'm tired of mans crowded ways of life !!
the cry of a dreamer.....how come nobody is able to make songs like these anymore? these songs are from the days before our music became corrupted. soul music is the best in the whole wide world. i love it!
Actually Remember the Rain is not the Sylvers,it's by The 21st Century from the album ''AHEAD OF OUR TIME ''.They were on RCA and I Have the Wax! I'm so Ol Skool!
please heyroz27 don't take this jam off i beg of you i need this song in my life if you could please tell me where i could find it i'd gratefully appreciate it!!
The B.U.M.S sampled this back in 1994 on "It's a Street Fight" a song that appeared on the soundtrack to the live action film version of "Street Fighter".
One of the most underrated groups of all time...back when you had studio/session musicians that exceled and you had real strings and horns. Leon Sylvers made sure this family's sound would influence later generations with his work at Solar Records...hope they can/will release something else in my lifetime (R.I.P. Edmund), to show these younger acts how it is done...I am 53 and from Memphis and I am a contemporary of this group (the crush I had on Olympia) but I digress, LOL!!!
You have to love the classics, they knew how to utilize a band back then. Those horns at the chorus are like....a a dream of mine come true. The backup singers are like a heavenly symphony and those horns and flutes and the overlay of singers is like, something magical lol. God I love this song so much.
Is it strange that I'm A dreamer 4 A new JOB that would B my reality I'm serious.

Isn't it strange that a man should never know,
hated by those who pushed him through this crowded world... yet he lives he lives he lives...
He Lives to Play the Role of a Dreamer,
There's not a prayer for the 1 who's love for life no longer lingers...
But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts as being a part of reality... ooh yeah...
But he's pushed aside...
The Cry of a Dreamer Lives in your Minds & Hearts 4 ever !!

I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life !!!!
Isn't it strange?? (Life !!!!)
So life labels me a dreamer...
There's not a prayer for the 1 who's love for life no longer lingers...
But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts as being a part of reality...
