Cool Fact; from The Little Angels through every lineup or incarnation of the Sylvers, James is the only Family member who NEVER left the group. Talk about loyalty!
This is one of the greatest underrated songs in black history, a great time, and I love the way she sings and grooves, the music is so beautiful, but the lyrics... Man, what a love inspiration towards eternal happiness for black masculine and black feminine in the all n all forever, thank you
yes it so dreamy and the way you can visualize the lyrics a young girl going through life and the strange me she meets!! and the one that captures her heart she is told he not right for you and don't really love you just think you do!!! Haven't we seen that situation in our lives people!!! this whole musical dream mode is just so beautiful and melodic!!! i can listen to this for 24 hours straight its very suspenseful and misterious at the same time!!!!❤
I have never compared the sylvers to the jacksons because there is no comparison each has a totally different sound. Both have a large family that's it
This song should've been a top 40 comeback hit for them. Plus it would've been perfect for one of the songs used on any of the General Hospital episodes.
Kimora Gaymon you're right about that, they sure didn't get the props that they deserve. Every one of there song's deserves a Grammy.😀😀😁👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐ that music has so much energy to it too.
This is from '85, the year they broke up as a group if I'm not mistaken. Recalling their "Unsung" episode, they faced a host of problems throughout their career; it was a testament to their fortitude that they kept the group going as long as they did.
This song got some airplay on a radio station 98.7 KISS-FM in New York City. It was like the last song that they did. Great Group never reached their full potential. so sad, THAT UNSUNG episode was magnificent.
It was seeing this performance on American Bandstand that made me buy the Sylvers' album "Bizarre"...after seeing this again I may have to dust that old album off!
This is a Beautiful song🎵🎵🎶Its time for their star🌟on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame"!!! How am I just now finding this musical jem❤!! I was a little girl💕when they came out. I wish i knew more about their music back then😢. I love them already 💋They should've blown up in videos, award shows, movies, commerials, clothing or advertising for hair care products!!! Thank you Unsung for bringing this group to my attention. Over the years, I've heard their songs🎶but didn't know who they were. Glad I know about the Sylvers now! 🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤😄 .
OMG!! I can't believe what I'm seeing!! Is that The Sylvers, Singing my favorite song of all times I must be dreaming. If this is a dream I never wanna wake up. I have to protect my manhood so I'm not crying. ',',
Actually, their record label was restricted in what they could do. The group's former manager was making it difficult for anyone to hire and promote the group. In fact, this appearance on "AB" was the only promotional gig they were able to do for the album, as Dick Clark was the only one who stood up to the former manager and his legal maneuvers.
On this day in 1985 {February 23rd} the Sylvers performed "Falling For Your Love" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... It peaked at #76 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... Was the last of their 13 records to make the R&B chart; with their biggest hit being "Boogie Fever" 1976, which reached #1 on the R&B chart, the Hot Top 100 chart, and in Canada,,, R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
This was the Sylvers' swan song, yet it wasn't mentioned on the recent Unsung bio. I remember this final televised performance on American Bandstand. It's a classic!
As much as I LOVE old school, I have never heard this song before either. Now I cannot stop listening to it. I cannot find it on iTunes, I am going to see if I can buy the album from Amazon.
funny so many of us who were into music and were young back then never heard this song. yet we love it. that goes for many of their songs. but it does cause me to pause to wonder how the hell we never heard a lot of their stuff? how??
Dude, the Jacksons themselves produced some amazing records for themselves, Destiny and Triumph which are ranked masterpieces, they also produced some good albums for Betty White and Barry White. There is nothing wrong with loving the Sylvers but you seem to only like them in spite of the Jacksons which is lame. Why not compare them to other family groups like Debarge?
They were definitely giving me "Debarge " vibes the way they were all lined up during the intro . Also can we get into Pat's vibes during this whole video. Her energy was everything and she was really feeling this one, especially from 2:28 all the way up to the end. You go girlllllllll.
WOW! Look at how Pat, Angie & Foster have grown up, 😊 Pat has a lovely voice. I guess Edmund was doing his own thing by this time & Leon too!! Nice to see this video, thanks for the upload. #SYLVERSFAN!!
OMG, right??!!! LOL, thought I was the only one loving these moves. That one move with the waving hand, I noticed in an older video--forgot what song.... I love it though.
I remember watching this when it originally aired and have been looking for this song forever!! That was the 1st and last time I ever heard this song before I looked it up on CZcams. I was so hoping they would play this on the radio. I think Pat is leading this song and laying it out!! They should've been waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger because they had major talent. This would've put them back on the map BIG TIME!!
Got to love the ''Bizarre'' album, their last one, and it was also the only one to be released by the then new music label Geffen, before they decided to stop the adventure ! That song is not my prefered one in the album, I almost never listen to it; there are others that are far much better. But it's a real gem, a treasure to have a video where they performed this. As they say, truly : PRICELESS !
Funny but not true at all. Groups and singers were wearing wigs during this time AND before this. The Supremes, The Marvalettes, Martha and The Vandellas, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, The Labelles, Whitney Houston, Angela Winbush, and MORE all wore wigs in the 50’s especially and afterwards. A lot of the wht groups were also wearing them back in the day. They do tend to wear these long ridiculous wigs ang weaves now that’s for sure. :)
I e been singing this song for the last 3 weeks hoping it was on Spotify or Amazon Music nope not there … thank god for CZcams im gonna have to find away to make this into a music file and put it in my phone I used to live in the polo grounds in NYC I remember when it dropped and I went nuts and became a Sylvers fan instantly one of the great soul songs of the 80s
Loved it the first time I heard it...and to hear the dj say it was "The Sylvers" was a double treat. Unfortunately WQMG in Greensboro didn't put it in high rotation...heard it maybe one more time until You tube.
LOVE watching them step ..... damn, they were just SO POLISHED!!! What the hell happened to polished and professional???!!! LOVE ME SOME SYLVERS!!! Had to get my fix for today!!!
@soulchildsacomin Yep! Absolutely ! And that's funny how the fashions change, over the decades...By the early 1990s,we were already into something else !
@1980Trimuph: You're right. No one should compare the Sylvers to the Jacksons. The Sylvers were performing professionally as early as 1958 - over ten years before "Diana Ross discovered the Jackson Five" - appearing on such TV shows as "The Danny Thomas Show" and opening for the likes of Johnny Mathis and Ray Charles. And don't even get me started on the differences in singing. Every single one of the Sylvers could sing, and the entire family could out-harmonize the Jackson family any day of the week. Yes...yes...the Jackson family has had stupendous commercial success. But I'll take the Sylvers brand of R&B over the assembly line commercialism of Tito and Company any day of the week.
Wayne Alvarez Your thoughts on the matter and small and meaningless, the public preferred the Jacksons harmonizing and music. I don't know how you got assembly line commercialism....I guess groups like the Four Tops and the Temptations all fall into the category too huh?
@1980 Triumph - Yes, they do... as a matter of fact. Barry Gordy and Hitsville saw to that! Motown artists were a PRODUCT that Gordy and company pumped out according to their rigorous and demanding criteria...groups were cookie cut from the beginning! Things changed later (hence the Jacksons leaving), but it was like that at first.
I learned Gladys Knight discovered the Jacksons not Diana Ross. That was a lie told by Motown. Why is it on every video with the Sylvers people compare to the Jacksons. I love them both and after watching the Sylver's episode of Unsung its a shame they did not get promoted properly.
Cool Fact; from The Little Angels through every lineup or incarnation of the Sylvers, James is the only Family member who NEVER left the group. Talk about loyalty!
Maybe he did not have the talent or problems.
Rite on James 👍
makes one wonder what james' perspective of the group is, seeing as how he witnessed multiple members join and leave throughout their bumpy career
This is one of the greatest underrated songs in black history, a great time, and I love the way she sings and grooves, the music is so beautiful, but the lyrics... Man, what a love inspiration towards eternal happiness for black masculine and black feminine in the all n all forever, thank you

I have never compared the sylvers to the jacksons because there is no comparison each has a totally different sound. Both have a large family that's it
Patricia was looking good doing her thang,she came a long way from her shyness.She just blossomed,and finally took the lead from being the background.
Im a 92 baby but found this song thanks to “38 Spesh - Tokyo Drift” and it literally brought tears to my eyes 🙏🏿🥲
I’m not understanding how this wasn’t put out as a single, I need a time machine this is a friggin hit!!!
i played this joint NON STOP...one of the Sylvers best ballads ever
this is a very underrated song.
This song should've been a top 40 comeback hit for them. Plus it would've been perfect for one of the songs used on any of the General Hospital episodes.
I love the sylivers.They should of gotten more credit for there music. One of a kind.
Kimora Gaymon you're right about that, they sure didn't get the props that they deserve. Every one of there song's deserves a Grammy.😀😀😁👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐ that music has so much energy to it too.
Also the dancing and live shows
. VERY good...
David Val you're right about that.
The Sylvers remind me of The Debarges alot I thought they were related like cousins back in the 80's...I love both groups...🎤🎤🎤
Yeah they do favor each other
@@fredmcclintonjr7441 I concur. 2 great groups.
One of greatest underrated r&b song of all time in my opinion
The Sylers are tight, period!!!!!!!
This is from '85, the year they broke up as a group if I'm not mistaken. Recalling their "Unsung" episode, they faced a host of problems throughout their career; it was a testament to their fortitude that they kept the group going as long as they did.
The Sylvers were always fantastic dancers as well, I like their "2 step" style dance moves here, so smooth...
This song got some airplay on a radio station 98.7 KISS-FM in New York City. It was like the last song that they did. Great Group never reached their full potential. so sad, THAT UNSUNG episode was magnificent.
Pat sounds good singing lead this sounds soooo 80's right here i love it
This song is 🔥
It was seeing this performance on American Bandstand that made me buy the Sylvers' album "Bizarre"...after seeing this again I may have to dust that old album off!
I did too
This song has you completely in the grove from the very first lines. The Sylvers always had that way with their songs. An amazing group!
O...M....G....This joint always puts me in a love trance....Lovin this footwork the Silvers crew putting' down yesssss do it!
This is a Beautiful song🎵🎵🎶Its time for their star🌟on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame"!!! How am I just now finding this musical jem❤!! I was a little girl💕when they came out. I wish i knew more about their music back then😢. I love them already 💋They should've blown up in videos, award shows, movies, commerials, clothing or advertising for hair care products!!!

.
the song is mesmerizing, hypnotic!
This song brings back memories. I used to have a MAD CRUSH on Ricky Sylvers.
Just discovered this song and have been listening to it several times a day for a week now. A true underrated gem
OMG!! I can't believe what I'm seeing!! Is that The Sylvers, Singing my favorite song of all times I must be dreaming. If this is a dream I never wanna wake up. I have to protect my manhood so I'm not crying. ',',
I felt the same way. ..only 8 years later. I was casting unplugged in my tv and hit this wondering what it was...I almost cried
Very iconic talented family
I cant stop watchin thin performance, its way ahead of its time back then, this could be a hit today.
1985 A great year I graduated from high school and I went into the service wish I could go back in time.
I was 20yrs old when this song came out wow how fast time flies
How did I miss this song back in the mid 1980's? This is such a cool song.
Probably never thought there were five star
They didn't have good promotion ... This absolutely should have charted sky high.
Actually, their record label was restricted in what they could do. The group's former manager was making it difficult for anyone to hire and promote the group. In fact, this appearance on "AB" was the only promotional gig they were able to do for the album, as Dick Clark was the only one who stood up to the former manager and his legal maneuvers.
True. In "TV One Unsung" they said Dick Clark always supported them.
That sucks! It didn't make sense that the quality of music on that album was fye but they still made poor sales. Thanks for this info
Makes sense as to why they never succeeded like they should have . Their talent is obvious!!
On this day in 1985 {February 23rd} the Sylvers performed "Falling For Your Love" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'...
It peaked at #76 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
Was the last of their 13 records to make the R&B chart; with their biggest hit being "Boogie Fever" 1976, which reached #1 on the R&B chart, the Hot Top 100 chart, and in Canada,,,
R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
2020 and yes I'm still listening....shii I fell for y'all ! ❤️🌹💎
Still love all your music I'm one of your number one fans 58 years Young you guys are and was amazing....
Never knew this was them. I love those dance steps
This was the Sylvers' swan song, yet it wasn't mentioned on the recent Unsung bio. I remember this final televised performance on American Bandstand. It's a classic!
I use to love this song! I never knew it was the Sylvers💜
ANGIE and FOSTER are killin it!!!!!!!! DAMN I wish this group got more recognition than they did!!!!
Amen!!! Love 😍 Angie!!
That's Pat singing
And Angie was really pregnant under all those layers!
@@kimthevenin8769 I was talking about Foster and Angie dancing.
@@msylvers That's Charmaine that's pregnant, Angie is/was next to Foster...
😢 I miss the 80's
My favorite Sylvers song
This song should have been playing on the radio nice song
+Ivalina Passe
It did get some air play, at least here in New York, but certainly not enough.
Ivalina Passe I have to listen to this at least once a day.
NY Radio definitely played this back when it came out
As much as I LOVE old school, I have never heard this song before either. Now I cannot stop listening to it. I cannot find it on iTunes, I am going to see if I can buy the album from Amazon.
Just recently bought the 7” Vinyl Promotional Single. it was a rare find
You can make it into a mp4 file and transfer it onto you’re phone or pc
I saw this performance when it aired powerful i was glued in front of tv.
funny so many of us who were into music and were young back then never heard this song. yet we love it. that goes for many of their songs. but it does cause me to pause to wonder how the hell we never heard a lot of their stuff? how??
I remember this song! Had no idea it was the Sylvers!
One of the smoothest songs ever.
Love it.
The harmonies are amazing, this is my second favorite by them,
Love why am I still on love with The Sylvers. I wish they make another group record. I will support them there amazing.
Dam I loved this song back in the day and still do. On a comic note now we know Carlton's dance inspiration.
That was beautiful. LOVE her voice.
Belleza de canción 💯🏆💎❤️❤️❤️2021...
Time for them to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
HELL YEAH!! The Sylvers as led by Leon, were everything The Jacksons could never be! Let's get them in there!! Where do I sign?/
Dude, the Jacksons themselves produced some amazing records for themselves, Destiny and Triumph which are ranked masterpieces, they also produced some good albums for Betty White and Barry White. There is nothing wrong with loving the Sylvers but you seem to only like them in spite of the Jacksons which is lame. Why not compare them to other family groups like Debarge?
It's about time for them to be in there, the Hall of Fame
I Say The Same Thing.. We Need To Tell That To BET Network.. We All Need To.. ☝ ☝.
@@8manAbe Let's not get crazy now. Jacksons were on another level.
They were definitely giving me "Debarge " vibes the way they were all lined up during the intro . Also can we get into Pat's vibes during this whole video. Her energy was everything and she was really feeling this one, especially from 2:28 all the way up to the end. You go girlllllllll.
Found this on The Sylvers. Looks like a few things Unsung didn't coverczcams.com/video/uE1O2r8vFC4/video.html
I was thinking them or the Jets.
my favorite by them!!!
This is a musical gem, smooth moves and grooves
This song is TOPS! It puts you in THAT mood... You gotta FEEL it to know it!
a fav of all time for me!!
Extremely underrated!!!! It has instantly become a favorite of mine! And I am crushing Pat hard!
Yes she fly
WOW! Look at how Pat, Angie & Foster have grown up, 😊 Pat has a lovely voice. I guess Edmund was doing his own thing by this time & Leon too!! Nice to see this video, thanks for the upload. #SYLVERSFAN!!
Leon produced this song...
I've been teaching myself that step they're doing for the last week!!! i love it!
LOL...i was watching Foster on rewind, trying to catch that step too!...🤣😂
OMG, right??!!! LOL, thought I was the only one loving these moves. That one move with the waving hand, I noticed in an older video--forgot what song.... I love it though.
@@RJNumber45 Just smoooooth!!!!
I just want to know why is the interview in better quality.this group never got the respect they deserved.so much talent
Always loved this song. They deserved to be bigger then what they were. They were soooo talented.
This is my favorite song by The Sylvers, then Hotline. Pat did her thing. 🎤
Yes Pat,👰🏽 I'm falling for your love boo!🤵🏾😘
Pat was always fine, very underrated beauty!!!!!!!
This joint was my absolutely my favorite
Sylvers song!!

Man, I'm getting a WGHP-TV 8 flashback from watching this!
this is that cut..
WORD!
This song is one of my faves from the '80s.
Check out the dance moves - smoooth!
Love this track!!! Heard it back in '83 for the first time I was 14 at the time. Searched for years to find it. Sooooo glad I did.
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY FOSTER!!!!!
Got to love the ''Bizarre'' album, their last one, and it was also the only one to be released by the then new music label Geffen, before they decided to stop the adventure !
That song is not my prefered one in the album, I almost never listen to it; there are others that are far much better. But it's a real gem, a treasure to have a video where they performed this. As they say, truly : PRICELESS !
A fantastic song.....Is pure Love.
I LOVE ME SOME PAT SLYVERS!
very underrated beauty.
yessir... Pat & Angie were THE TRUTH!
Love dance.moves..
Back when your hair was your hair and not a weave or wig. God bless the Sylvers.
😂

Love the audience participation
I remember this song
Didn't know who sung it
I use to hear it on the radio growing up
There's just something beautiful about Patricia Sylvers.
Everything's beautiful about Patricia Sylvers 🌹
This should have been a big hit! It did get airplay back in the 80s.
Man, I'm getting a WGHP-TV8 flashback from this!
Great song so underated ! Thanks for sharing this video!
Love them.
PAT SYLVERS VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.....AND SHE IS SO FINE!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Loved it the first time I heard it...and to hear the dj say it was "The Sylvers" was a double treat. Unfortunately WQMG in Greensboro didn't put it in high rotation...heard it maybe one more time until You tube.
LOVE watching them step ..... damn, they were just SO POLISHED!!! What the hell happened to polished and professional???!!! LOVE ME SOME SYLVERS!!! Had to get my fix for today!!!
❤
Yesss, Yesss, and YES!!!
@poetgrande08 Yeah James was like 4 years old doing shows when the family first started! Amazing, they just naturally had it.
I haven’t heard this song in years!!! 107.5 WBLS back when I was 16 when times were simple.
Smooth groove
@soulchildsacomin
Yep! Absolutely ! And that's funny how the fashions change, over the decades...By the early 1990s,we were already into something else !
real smooth
I really like this song, never heard before
I LOVE THEM GROWING UP 😃
Angie & Foster were killing those steps!
Oh yeah, but don't leave out Charmaine, Jonathan, and Ricky, as they were doing the same thing...
damn, Pat was fine as hell. never understood why radio stations didn't play this.
@AleekahTV Im from Chicago and they need to play this at a steppers set!!
@1980Trimuph: You're right. No one should compare the Sylvers to the Jacksons. The Sylvers were performing professionally as early as 1958 - over ten years before "Diana Ross discovered the Jackson Five" - appearing on such TV shows as "The Danny Thomas Show" and opening for the likes of Johnny Mathis and Ray Charles. And don't even get me started on the differences in singing. Every single one of the Sylvers could sing, and the entire family could out-harmonize the Jackson family any day of the week. Yes...yes...the Jackson family has had stupendous commercial success. But I'll take the Sylvers brand of R&B over the assembly line commercialism of Tito and Company any day of the week.
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wayne Alvarez Your thoughts on the matter and small and meaningless, the public preferred the Jacksons harmonizing and music. I don't know how you got assembly line commercialism....I guess groups like the Four Tops and the Temptations all fall into the category too huh?
Wayne Alvarez By the way you have to love those songs where James, Leon, Ricky and Angie each led the singing....right?....right???
@1980 Triumph - Yes, they do... as a matter of fact. Barry Gordy and Hitsville saw to that! Motown artists were a PRODUCT that Gordy and company pumped out according to their rigorous and demanding criteria...groups were cookie cut from the beginning! Things changed later (hence the Jacksons leaving), but it was like that at first.
I learned Gladys Knight discovered the Jacksons not Diana Ross. That was a lie told by Motown. Why is it on every video with the Sylvers people compare to the Jacksons. I love them both and after watching the Sylver's episode of Unsung its a shame they did not get promoted properly.
