Blessing to the Sylvers.. My husband and i have introduce our two adult sons to your music.. They truly love MISDEMEANOR, I guess because they know that the 70's Rule.

love this song but too short.

@Tudaman Yep! Sounded JUST like him, if not just a teeeenzy bit better. No offense at ALL to the King of Pop though. Foster was just as adorable, if no more so, than Michael. The Jackson's and Joe just beat Mrs. Sylvers and the gang to the punch on being the FIRST novelty in their field, ya know. Both families had talent. The Sylvers had more funky mature songs though than the Jacksons. They each captured the ears of folks ages 5 to probably 50 back then! So much talent!

This was the jam back then. I used to have both the Sylvers and MJ all over my bedroom walls. Just saw them on unsung and I really wished they could have recorded more hits with their brother Leon 'cause you know they had it in them. Maybe their kids can continue the legacy or maybe someone can write a play or a movie of their lives. Wow they had so much promise. Maybe a reuion tour when the two youngest ones get out of prison. Anyway thank you Sylvers for your music, you are not forgotten

@MAYDAYES Sure did: #7 R&B and #22 pop.

According to Leon Sylvers on the Sylvers' Unsung, this was going to be on the Sylvers' first album as Leon wrote it around 1969 for Edmund to sing but they struggled to get a deal for two and a half years and when they finally got a deal in 1972, Edmund's voice was too deep for the song's arrangement so that's why Foster got the song. :)

@neyochick21 The Sylvers (least the eldest members - Olympia, Leon, Charmaine and James) have been together since Michael was born! LOL Foster Sylvers was not an MJ knockoff by any stretch of the imagination. Huge fan of Michael but come on lol besides Motown didn't give Michael anything funky like this until "Dancing Machine" and his voice had deepened by the time this song came out lol

A CLASSIC, UNDERPLAYED, UNDER RECOGNIZED TALENT. I LOVED THE SYLVERS, TOO BAD WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE FREEDOM THEN THAT BLACK ARTISTS HAVE NOW TO OWN THEIR MUSIC, AND THEIR CAREERS. THEY PAVED THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!11
Aw man! I forgot all about the Sylvers. I used to love this song. Little Foster was so cute. Actually, just like the Jacksons this was a very attractive family.

I agree, somebody's gotta have it! I'm going to look for it...can't believe the good songs that I forgot about? The bass and the drums are the first instruments that I catch!
