[Shaolin913]

LISTEN TO THA FUCKEN WORDS TO THA SONG !!!! THIS WORLD IS IN A DECLINE !!!! NO MORE DREAMERS !!!!

[Chorizo240]

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

[DRPLUS2]

DR+ and Miles Bonny - Clowns Cry

[autsim]

David Banner sampled this. His sample is not bad.

[TheBarnes1981]

@autsim Right!

[jawjaboy87]

The Alchemist needs to sample this.and whisper softly by barry white.

[Losdouble]

The Bums-Street Fight

[millfordsange]

this is my life's anthem.

[dudesmcman]

why their early sht so trill ??

[lovebeingamum40]

This song has so many elements: deep, beautiful, amazingly intricate, a musical maze, soulful, pretty, solid, educational...this family was incredible.

[pussypoppinish]

Bottom fly - dreamer

[kolense]

this group was incredible!!!!!!!!!

[jrogue2003]

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!

[brina741]

THIS IS MUSIC THAT MEANS SOMETHING!!

[COP20VOW]

The Sylvers have just finished taping their episode of "Unsung" for TV One. It will air in the Fall

[cmes1]

This album had so much potential. This is real music!!

[MatureMuscle]

Leon Sylvers III is a genius! That brother wrote serious songs and kicked the knowledge and after 38 years his creativity and genius withstand...

[noshitkid]

theres so meny ways to flip this track its insane!!. its not about who gets there first its about who can flip it in there style to represent.

[kayin4o8]

im takin this shit before 9th, madlib, kanye use this! fuck,,,,

[MyJunior1975]

@kayin4o8 9th Wonder beat you to it. See the song "Strange" on David Banner's new album "Death Of A Pop Star".

[kevman77]

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.

[TheQwerty92x]

i didnt care for the way 9th sampled it. he's really hit or miss in my eyes.he's consistent, but eh.

[MrMannM1]

The Sylvers were the most underated group of their era. I hope that they are featured on TV Ones UnSung in the very near future.

[terrygroovy474]

The Sylvers are one of the most underrated groups of the 70s.

[Rico316]

One of my all time favorite songs by The Sylvers !!! I love the lyrics !!! Such a beautiful song !!! 

[lewchootrain]

[earthsaylove]

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 !!

[earthsaylove]

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 !!

4 ever !!

[earthsaylove]

What was an airplane before it was built?

The dream that one day man will fly !!

What was a rocket ship before it was built?

The dream that one day the man will walk... the moon !!

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...

But he's pushed aside...

[earthsaylove]

The Cry of a Dreamer Lives in your Minds & Hearts 4 ever !!

4 Ever !! 

The Dreamer Lives 4 Ever !!

I'm tired of man's crowded ways of life !!!!

[earthsaylove]

"Isn't a strange that a man should ***live alone***"

[Lesley1159]

[earthsaylove]

[purtoy2009]

I agree with you artcloud7!

[Zortanis]

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!

[earthsaylove]

True Indeed !! To Make Soothing Soulful Music, This Is My Cry !!!!!!

[artcloud7]

One of the BEST songs ever created

[BlkJordans3s4s6and11]

Maaan, they sound so smooth. I love the beginning part of the song when they sing; "Isn't it strange."

[JayBHarderwijk]

[Amalatyri]

Excellent!! My favorite is "Remember The Rain".

[Msstrange1]

Beautiful!

[HUSTLEMAN2]

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!

[taospec]

True that! But still koo as heck! :)

[MsTexas73]

You're CORRECT!

[MsTexas73]

[86pimp3]

Don't let Kanye West touch this before I do.

[heyroz27]

[treeZon1]

@heyroz27 kanye is a fruit cake if he touches this ill make it my first and foremost duty to call him down on everything he does

[DeVonWcampbellSoup1]

I chopped this up already. Try and see if you can do it different. I would love to hear that. Peace.

[boobiejoe1]

[stealth387]

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".

[BigWoozi]

@86pimp3 9th Wonder already touched this lol (Isn't it Strange??)

[XxXBiGEviL999XxX]

@86pimp3 all right been done The B.U.M.S it's a street fight

[rickylascaze001]

@86pimp3 taken by me lol

[earthsaylove]

@86pimp3

It's been touched, Ninth. Anyway, the original will always be the illest!

[5thElementArts]

@86pimp3 too late, 9th wonder already did

[str8outakompton]

wayyyyy ahead of you sonn

[ardentepatience]

@86pimp3 hhahaahahahaahah

[Pirate7X]

OUTrageous arrangement! This is song composition 7 production on the highest level.

Whoooooooooo....

[eshonne21]

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!!!

[froz1]

"oooooo yeah..."

[beastnstuff]

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.

[SHAOLINSINZ]

totally i have the same views.

Even the quality adds to the magic.

[COP20VOW]

But he tries so hard to establish his thoughts as being a part of reality. But he's pushed aside. These lyrics are too deep for me.

[heyroz27]

The cry of a dreamer lives in your heart and mind forever.....

oh yeah too deep!

[COP20VOW]

I really felt like hearing this one. This song is soooooo deep. Their harmony is unmatched.

[heyroz27]

especially at the end of the song.

[heyeg112]

boy... i found this album at a record store for only 3.00$ ....boy was i lucky.

[Justbleazy]

Good lord this song is fiyah...not fire but fiyah!!!!!

[snackz]

this song makes me want to cry everytime

[Belburg]

A real beautiful song by a great group.

[thevictorperse]

my first time hearing this gemstone from the soul...thank you for the upload

[2young2old]

[tislamic7]

[NickFRESHBoogie]

Poignant.

[MsTexas73]

Get me through LIFE, Baby.
