Among the more popular family acts on the '70s R&B circuit, Memphis' Sylvers recorded for Pride, MGM, Capitol, Casablanca, and Geffen during their 13-year chart run. No less than nine of the ten brothers and sisters in the family -- Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, James, Edmund, Ricky, Angie, Pat, Foster -- performed in the group that was viewed as a Southern version of the Jackson 5. Their 1972 Pride single "Fool's Paradise" got things going in the right direction, reaching number 14 on the R&B charts. They had three other Top Ten R&B hits in the '70s, but their biggest song was "Boogie Fever" in 1975. It perfectly captured the disco spirit and topped both the R&B and pop charts that year. "Hot Line" was another Top Ten on both lists in 1976, and their second biggest single. They scored another Top 20 R&B single on Casablanca in 1978, "Don't Stop, Get Off," but the charming qualities of their earlier material seemed more calculated. They couldn't recapture the spark during their mid-'80s period on Geffen.

I have been a fan of The Sylvers for decades but..Wow!! I am totally blown away !! I This track is the BOMB !! That bassline is HOTT!! ( 3:44) The harmony is right and exact !! & the strings are so sweet.as they lace this track. It may sound funny to many but I hear "And The Beat Goes On "!! written by Leon ..The Sylvers were severely underated and that is a damn shame !! SMH!!..I Thank you UNSUNG for the real story..behind the music!!

Loving this song and video like crazy. I grew up listening to the Sylvers but

were only aware of the bubble gum hits and Freestyle. I knew about Leon's crazy production hits at Solar but didn't even know the rest of the clan was still making music in the 80's. I really slept on this talented family during this period. Shame on me.

Yeah, that baseline is tight.. But did anyone else notice that you don't see anybody playing the bass?? I'm sayin' tho..

Pat & Angie are killing the dance moves, as usual. Foster is singing his "GROWN" heart out. Ricky is killing the bass guitar. James is selling sex in the back.....lol. The SYLVERS are the BEST!!!!!!

I wish they would have stuck together. I think they would have been around for a long time.

@sauermusicDE Thats because Leon Sylvers of The Sylvers produced much of Shalamars songs/music. He even wrote for the group, u should check out the group Dynasty aswell :)

[sauermusicDE]

I discovered this band a few minutes ago here on YouTube. They sound just as good as Shalamar!

[soulfyrestar]

First time seeing this. This song is so funky, got me dancing just hearing it. I miss those '80s funk music. Those 2 Sylvers sisters were dressed to kill.

The bassline is kickin! Wonder if its Leon!

@TheSunnyStar thank you for agreeing with me. I guess I type too much about my favorite group..lol.

[MrZachman7]
