[aGwEENapple]

Those fros were beautiful. Those are the type of fros I aspire to get.

LOL

Bouncy and soft.

[sylversfan11]

@aGwEENapple Hey I'm with you! I'm trying to get my fro like that as we speak!

[LISAAJ2]

Seeing the Sylvers on unsung brought back memory of them to me, I always wondered what ever happened to them. I was heart broken by what happened to the family over the years!! My heart goes out to them all

[jedimasterviewtifjoe]

Olympia was my fave one and she suffered from so much, and doesnt look the same, that made me so sad, I love this peformance, she looked so beautiful. I love this family, they went through so much and is still a wonderful and beautiful family, now that is what you call love.

[asheyblacq]

I have greater appreciation for The Sylvers, especially after seeing "Unsung". They were talented!!

[DavisNetPromos5550]

After seeing UNSUNG on The Sylvers...I hope you "SoulTrain" weasles see how pathetic the decision was to use this group as a "teaser" to sell CDs.

This group in terms of the amount of talent vs the hardships they endured have paid more dues then anyone in this business should have to deal with.

You MUST allow future fans to see ALL of their greatness!!

[stillphil]

Ah ... The "Jacksons VS The Sylvers" arguments . . . still pointless ! lol =)

Most of The Sylvers songs actually had more complex harmonies than the J5 backgrounds and harmonies.

And I am a HUGE J5 fan. Just have to give credit where it's due.

[JuicyChina]

REMIND ME OF THE JACKSONS WITH THOSE BIG ASS FRO'S

[discoAL]

why do you have to say all that?? folk love the J5 and the Sylvers too.. its ignorant to come on a Sylvers page, and not show your gratitude ..uzareeln*99@..

[lastyle616]

the sylvers were auite, CLEARLY for those of you that know music, LEON & FOSTER

were the POWER BEHIND THE HITS but comparing them to the "JACKSON 5"

is ASS RIGHT STUPID cause obviously THE JACKSONS had 10 or so HITS

in which if you really do the math, the SYLVERS had LESS & INTERNATIONAL

FAME but the "JACKSON 5" had WORLD WIDE HITS between here & 2&3

other planets!

[lrwsoreal]

@lastyle616 you should watch their story on the tv series Unsung tonight at 10 p.m. to see as to why they were not as successful, it will be on TV One

[COP20VOW]

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

[SpiritWolf2015]

@MalcolmXsuckedMeGood - You Sick and if you don't like blacks then stay off of here.

@MalcolmXsuckedMeGood -

[michella1013]

The Sylvers were far from being Jackson 5 rejects. As you can see they were a group composed of brothers and sisters. The Jackson 5 just had brothers, so there is no comparison. They had a nice style and beautiful voices with harmony. They all could lead on various songs. Talkin bout the afros-They had the best afros in the industry - U could clearly see family unity and love with this group -Right on Sylvers!!!

[michella1013]

Leon and Ricky were sooooo cute in the video

[jayblac]

JACKSON 5 REJECTS

[coolmominec]

was that don cornelius??!!!...lol

[jaynoe123]

@SyrenniaLestrange Try Daily Motion Its Still Up ....

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 39th Edition Of "Soul Train" On November 4, 1972.

[djsweethots]

Wow that's shitty

[brothacoco2070]

This song was literally my favorite song by them. I just wished that I knew the words verbatim :)

[ekocentric]

@SyrenniaLestrange This is the second time tonight that I chose a video and was cut off before the whole song played but, Not all people post a few seconds of a video....because no one would come back.

[MRJACKSON19581]

@librarian5602  stay upon it ..thanks..

[MRJACKSON19581]

@librarian5602 who got that video ...I'll PAY for it... I remember seeing Foster sing that song and later he did Dont Be Cruel .an old Elvis remake classic he performed both song on Soul Train lost classic performances I need all the Sylvers performances on Soultrain I can get..HELP!

Love them Sylvers ladies Charmain Pat ands Angie are super hot

[garnetjewel]

I know the 70's were known for wild costumes but those outfits looked like they were made by grandma and great aunt tilly.

[djsweethots]

@garnetjewel LOL @ "grandma and aunt tilly"!!!!

[nellie2581]

I love the Sylvers!

[RSYLVER14]

ewalk4959 Christopher was about six yrs. old when this song was released.

[RSYLVER14]

The Memories are priceless, What Talent! What Genetics, I am Still in love with Ricky, Wish that I could talk to you (Lol) . Leon is still one of the most gifted writers & producers on the planet. Most of all RIP Edmond & Christopher, and bless the entire Sylvers Family, Thank you guys for the memories & the music. Much Love!

[ewalk4959]

@RSYLVER14 Was Chris is this group or was he the baby???

[david08060]

That guy looks like Michael Jackson at 0:15

[toicannon]

@SyrenniaLestrange Yeah I glad to catch this little bit of video, but we still go screw!!LOL

[binarybojangles]

wow why did you cut all these videos, fail :\

[dm6testa777]

they had kats fros nowadays faded bone,snoop and all

this song do go hard

[ytterbiumslug]

those fros were no jokes

[sierria64]

@ytterbiumslug YEP...MY BROTHER HAD AFRO LIKE THAT ONE.. ONLY WHEN THE ARMY CAUGHT UP WITH HIM HE HAD TO SHAVE IT.......HE CRIED 

[johrons]

whitch sister is the one on the far right damn i like her someone let me know

[EmpressElizabeth1920]

I remember watching them to "Stay Away From Me" on Soul Train. Someobdy should re-issue their albums

[PetePeterkin]

Too bad they removed the whole song video. This family has endured so much hardship (including the death of lead singer Edmund).

Shame on Soul Train for continuing to keep their true greatness an unfortunate secret.

I hope you guys spend your money from DVD sales well.

[1980Triumph]

Can't believe the soultrain site shorten the videos.....terrible

[brrtown]

@1980Triumph

Me too. I'm considering unsubbing because of it. I can find these performances in their entity on someone else's site. So coming here is just a waste of time.

[1980Triumph]

@brrtown

what is the site, so I can find them also...screw Soultrain, they even took out the interview

[soulchildsacomin]

@1980Triumph

Its a marketing strategy to hype up the dvd releases and now that they are out, soultrain site took the full clips down and was like "screw y'all, you now have to pay for it if you wanna see the whole thing." MOFUNK1 has the clip posted, but no interview.

[1980Triumph]

@soulchildsacomin

yeah but Mofunk is an ass who puts his name all over the videos ruining them for everyone!!

[soulchildsacomin]

@1980Triumph

True but he can't put his name on my videos...sorry...soultrainfans videos because of the logos.

[1980Triumph]

@soulchildsacomin

That bothers me too, but I don't care because at least its for the fans. He acts as if they his own videos? He is sickening, you watch a vidoe and his big stupid name comes across the screen. I really hate when he has the best version of the video on the tube, those days I could just die...lol

[meandemjay]

@soulchildsacomin - you got that right...on top of that they started airing all the old Soul Trains on the Centric.....but they don't show the actual original episode in its entirety...they break it up among three different episodes into one......like they'll have 20 min segments of 3 different episodes in one hour....how's that for "greedy & shitty"????????

[Speedfirst]

That was our hair style back in the day, feel me..

[1luv408]

I'm about to sport the Hispanic afro again

[Sahbisun]

The fro..wow!

Boogie Fever will always be a classic./fav

[passalonea]

man they have some serious afros.

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

My aunt had a huge crush on Foster Sylvers.

[motownbaby]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx My cousin also had a crush on Foster....however, he's not in this clip. This is before he joined the group.

[dedrawilliams]
