The Sylvers was a family group the air time that they deserve, they were a great group, I always thought they were competition for many other groups that were out there at same time! But Sylvers thank you for your Music contribution to us all to have heard and enjoy your songs! God Almighty your family!
Don't stop get off have been my favorite Sylvers funky jam since 1979 and I still do my ugly funky face.(Greetings from Chile and sorry,my english is not good).On the one,here,there and everywhere☝️
I keep forgetting that someone said one of them comment that Mario who the R&B singer and played on the movie Step-Up, who look alike Edmund Sylvers as well
That last move edmond pulled off at the end of "dance with me" kills me everytime i see it. He was showing whoever and himself a good time. I loved me some angelia. I can pic her out at a distance!!
Wow .... they really put on a show and it is so nice to see them working it, bringing the heat!! Edmund looks so good here, bless and rest his soul. I wonder if they've ever watched themselves on here. I bet they would really be proud of the body of work they've done.
This was the last album of hits before the fall of this great group came .. Don't Stop was such a great song. I used to play this album day and night...Man my child hood days were made fun by being a fan of the Sylvers and the Jackson
+Lee Shepherd But don't sleep on Concept and Bizarre. Both of those albums had some awesome songs. Concept is excellent from the first song to the last song. it just didn't' have any marketing due to legal issues going on between the group and their manager at the time. Bizarre is also a strong album. I can't say anything bad about either of the songs on it. Both of those albums should have gotten MAJOR airplay. It was just foul what happened during that time. Concept should've been a Grammy winner for them or something.
Music biz can be strange...The 2 albums should have been promoted heavy ...why have a group record for a label and put so much work into putting it together,,But then the label you record for not promoting the F out of it ..Making it BIG as possible ?
I Remember They Performed Those 2 Songs On A Show Called "SOUL ALIVE", The Host Was DJ Jerry Blodsoul From WBLS, The Show Was Aired On WPIX Channel 11 Back In 1979!!!!!!!
HAD POSTERS ON MY WALL OF THEM RICKY WAS MY ❤ MY FAMILY LOVED MIKE DOUGLAS GROWING UP HE ALWAYS SHOWED RESPECT TO AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTIST JUST LIKE HIM AND DICK CLARK🙏
Thanks for sharing My eldest brother has me on this Sylvers’ quest if you will and as I’m listening to Don’t Stop Get Off it resonated that this song is where Zapp’s ‘Do It Roger’ got a part of that jazzy line from. I love it!
In my opinion their first 3 albums were the best! These are more of their pop/crossover songs! Even Leon, the oldest brother stated that he hated these songs!
Edmond's got the "Off The Wall" look....just seeing it now ….and someone wasn't going to have it.....so sorry they got 'stopped' - the music biz....at least they got somewhere...so many talented ones get nowhere.
Jarrett Cone they were there before the jacksons..... lol you tried. Either way both families are great not fun to compare when it’s like apples and pears, I wishe the Sylvers had as much success, it’s magical then ppl like you say dumb shit like that and ruin it🤦🏽♀️😒. My prayers go out to the fam and RIP to mama Sylvers🙏🏽
I think Edmund Sylvers was handsome and fine at the time but he had a son who name is Jeremy Sylvers, and his son were a actress/actor on the movie that he played on ‘Child’s Play 3’. Then, now, I found out that he’s grown up to be a man as handsome like his dad Edmund... Like WOW!!!
Two things I find interesting on this clip: 1) On "Come Dance With Me" from 2:29 to 2:55, when Edmund is dancing with Angie and Pat, and the funky voice is saying "Rumba...tango...," I remember James lip-syncing that part on "Soul Train" and "Merv Griffin," but he's not doing it here. 2) Whenever the group performed "Don't Stop, Get Off" on TV, James would lip-sync Leon's lead vocal parts. He's doing it here if you really watch, but none of the cameras do a close up during those parts.
Don't stop get off is the DOO DO I was just waiting on the mothership to land and George Clinton to come out and wave his hands over them this got p funk all over it never heard of before it's on my playlist now though
man i just was thinking the same thing. i'm surprised i had to scroll down this far just to see if someone peeped that. even his energy and performance style. change that outfit black...and you got that iconic performance from MJ relived. i wonder what came out first.🤔
Good question. He spun around and quickly hooked the mic🎙 onto the rear mic🎙 stand. He retrieved it when he finished dancing with his Sisters. Edmund had some slick moves.🕺🏽
kick out your lead writer over a white dude that will cheat you big time and your group will never be the same because he own your songs and not a writer or performer---- that is why u read the fine print.
The group sounded so diffrent with the younger sisters 👯♀️ which wasn’t a bad thing but worth Olympia and charmaine they sounded more soulful and mature ..the forever yours Ablum was slept on honestly
Daryl Woodard 😂😂😂 and yet his debut album(was it ever released ) says different ....he’s good in his own right just as Weird Al Yankovich is good in his own right I guess
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Despite what you are implying, he did release a solo album, probably a few things happened behind the scenes that caused him not to blow up. Still a talent.
In terms of albums, Off the Wall was SO great! But the Sylvers voted to let go of Leon-if he continued to write and produce them, no telling how many more hits they would’ve had? The Sylvers went downhill when Leon left. Also, MJ wasn’t doing show stopping performances until his next album, Thriller. MJ had appeal and greatness but he didn’t let loose until Billy Jean.
Okay folks gettin caught up in their feelings..As much as I like The Sylvers and Edmund he was not even close to Michael...Michael from a child was otherworldly talented..Yes I think The Sylvers had more to offer creatively but The Jacksons had Michael and nobody..I mean NOBODY could touch that.
The Sylvers deserves a star ⭐️ on the Hollywood walk if fame behind the talented brother of Leon Sylvers Jr. Lets go give them what they deserve.
The Sylvers was a family group the air time that they deserve, they were a great group, I always thought they were competition for many other groups that were out there at same time! But Sylvers thank you for your Music contribution to us all to have heard and enjoy your songs! God Almighty your family!
How can anyone talk about the 70's and not mention the Sylvers. Hell I love them so much.
MusicMatic707 I love the both Sylvers and the 70’s music at the same time
Same here !!
Watching edmund makes me happy he always has a huge smile on his face
Whoever mixed this song was a master audio engineer. Also, the music composer knew how to created a vibe.
I miss this group I grew up listening to them in the 70’s
Me too
The Sylvers in FUNK MODE!!! The sisters are killing the choreography!!
They can all dance, but Angie be killing' it !!!
FACTS
@@davidhuff1850 ...nobody...
Pat and Angie were jammin!!!!
Oh My Gosh!! Edmund Sylver And His Brother's & Sister's..
Don't stop get off have been my favorite Sylvers funky jam since 1979 and I still do my ugly funky face.(Greetings from Chile and sorry,my english is not good).On the one,here,there and everywhere☝️
The Sylvers at their prime, Edmund was cutting loose with the talent! 😎
Love this too!! Edmund had some serious dance talent! Rest In Paradise Edmund!!
Boy that Edmund was everything, they all have real smooth coordinated moves
Edmund sure was enjoying his self 😊, he was so HANDSOME my goodness, this was one talented family, so sad edmund is gone. #resting.
Exactly! I see why he had 11 kids...lol...Chile, lemme shut my mouth!
I keep forgetting that someone said one of them comment that Mario who the R&B singer and played on the movie Step-Up, who look alike Edmund Sylvers as well
Base Guitar Nice!!!
That last move edmond pulled off at the end of "dance with me" kills me everytime i see it. He was showing whoever and himself a good time. I loved me some angelia. I can pic her out at a distance!!
I love the Sylvers!!.. They were exceptional talented group!!...
Kathy Lucas yes they were
Love the family group the Sylvers

The group just melted into background and gone on to help brother Leon over at Solar Records.

Forever Yours is a beautiful album. Certainly a lost classic.

Leon taught Foster to play bass.
Ricky is beautiful Man!
Baseline is beautiful
Rest in Soul Heaven Edmund. I miss this group so much. Real music.And talented.
.
I started to get into their music two years and I LOVE IT!!!! I was just coming into the world when they we're cooking. Love The Sylvers!!
Such a talented family and the harmony was on point.
Edmund was so smooth
Edmund's body looks so tone and fine in this outfit. Lord have mercy on me!
Angie threw down 💃🏽... she made me get up & dance!
best group ever 1
Never got in too deep the with the Jackson Five. When Cotton Candy came out, I was hooked.
Ruby Stargell bitch please

They were in a Class all by themselves

Pat and Angela need more FaceTime they are bomb👏💕🤪
In my opinion their first 3 albums were the best! These are more of their pop/crossover songs! Even Leon, the oldest brother stated that he hated these songs!
They should have never voted Leon out the group. He wrote many of their hits and for others as well.
I really like Edmunds vocals
The mighty sylvers before there was anything there were the sylvers
Excellent !
Edmond's got the "Off The Wall" look....just seeing it now
….and someone wasn't going to have it.....so sorry they got 'stopped' - the music biz....at least they got somewhere...so many talented ones get nowhere.
I realized that as well.
To be honest with you they copy everything the Jackson's did
Jarrett Cone they were there before the jacksons..... lol you tried. Either way both families are great not fun to compare when it’s like apples and pears, I wishe the Sylvers had as much success, it’s magical then ppl like you say dumb shit like that and ruin it🤦🏽♀️😒.

@@jarrettcone8949 You're not okay. Do your research
You can see the similarities between them and The Jacksons. Talented families no doubt.
Edmund looks cute veeery handsome 😍
its in the genes
I think Edmund Sylvers was handsome and fine at the time but he had a son who name is Jeremy Sylvers, and his son were a actress/actor on the movie that he played on ‘Child’s Play 3’. Then, now, I found out that he’s grown up to be a man as handsome like his dad Edmund... Like WOW!!!
Love Love The Sylvers
Those sisters didnt miss a beat, gorgeous

never seen this one before...with my fav. cut "come dance with me"!!!!..
Magic music
LOVING THIS-- CLASSIC-JAMMIN' AND UNSUNG
They borrowed that guitar rift from Parliament on "Don't Stop Get Off". Sounds cool too!
He'll yeah!
Thankyou for uploading. It's nice to see these performances I missed back in the day. They looked really good!
That riff Edmund hits at 3:14-3:18
I got to see them perform live and man I was crushing on Angie the whole time and there after....
Boogie Fever and Hotline are their best songs!
nope...just the most popular...
dude you should check out "Cotton candy, my group favorite" and "Time"- by Edmund Sylvers (that was his solo project )
@@polystylezdotcom actually this whole album is great yet its totally unsung because the company they was with was going thru some issues.
You must not have heard the early stuff I love all songs except boogie fever lol
Don't stop get off is the DOO DO I was just waiting on the mothership to land and George Clinton to come out and wave his hands over them this got p funk all over it never heard of before it's on my playlist now though
@Kelamo, I totally agree. He was a hottie for sure. So fine!!! 😀
Uh oh, a new favorite.
Thank you. I loaded it!
Don't remember the Sylvers going DISCO!! i've never heard these songs...and Leon not there! they were on their way down at this point.
I think this is where Michael Jackson got his off the wall look from. Edmund Sylvers
Marcus Cesaire look how Edmund Sylvers dance really good @4:15 ~ 6:45 and his siblings are beautiful family, amazing talented, and a good lead singer
Marcus Cesaire and Edmund is really cute but dressed handsome and fine
You're wrong Michael cut his hair 1st
man i just was thinking the same thing. i'm surprised i had to scroll down this far just to see if someone peeped that. even his energy and performance style. change that outfit black...and you got that iconic performance from MJ relived. i wonder what came out first.🤔
All he wore was a tux on the album cover... Every man wears that. 😂
@ Hassan, Ed placed his mic in the back mic stand. So his hands could be free to dance with Pat and Angelia.
edmund looks like he is having such a good time. what did he do with the mike when he started dancing with his sister?
Good question. He spun around and quickly hooked the mic🎙 onto the rear mic🎙 stand. He retrieved it when he finished dancing with his Sisters. Edmund had some slick moves.🕺🏽
love it!!! Especiall the first tune, right up my alley
Edmund almost knocked his sister down. trying to dance. lol
if you dont stop....LOL
He might have been high?
@@OldskolFan reaching a lil huh?
When I Missed It🤣
@@OldskolFan WHAT SHUT UP
Lol, love the last part of your comment.
the lead had the micheal jackson spin and the off the wall tuxedo
#therealadonis
Elevator music
This must be around the time they voted Leon out of the band
kick out your lead writer over a white dude that will cheat you big time and your group will never be the same because he own your songs and not a writer or performer---- that is why u read the fine print.
Is that Olympia?
No! Angie and Pat
@@malekatahcampbell6326 ok, that's what I thought, thank you!!
The group sounded so diffrent with the younger sisters 👯♀️ which wasn’t a bad thing but worth Olympia and charmaine they sounded more soulful and mature ..the forever yours Ablum was slept on honestly
MAN ..I LOVE THEM BUT MATERIAL STUNK
is it me or doesn't edmond have the michael jackson off the wall look it's just a thought
Lol I was just saying that
Hahahahaha we're on the same page 🤣😂😅
😂😂😂😂 Off the wall was out around this time ...he’s desperately trying to show he’s just as good as Mike and there ain’t no comparison
it came out a year later, and though Michael was a great talent, Edmund is good himself in his own right.
Daryl Woodard 😂😂😂 and yet his debut album(was it ever released ) says different ....he’s good in his own right just as Weird Al Yankovich is good in his own right I guess
Daryl Woodard yea they were very equally yoked 🙄 czcams.com/video/14OreYfdIxY/video.html
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Despite what you are implying, he did release a solo album, probably a few things happened behind the scenes that caused him not to blow up. Still a talent.
In terms of albums, Off the Wall was SO great! But the Sylvers voted to let go of Leon-if he continued to write and produce them, no telling how many more hits they would’ve had? The Sylvers went downhill when Leon left.
Also, MJ wasn’t doing show stopping performances until his next album, Thriller. MJ had appeal and greatness but he didn’t let loose until Billy Jean.
I did not like this music by The Sylvers
They act just like The Jackson 5!! But, I like there music
Okay folks gettin caught up in their feelings..As much as I like The Sylvers and Edmund he was not even close to Michael...Michael from a child was otherworldly talented..Yes I think The Sylvers had more to offer creatively but The Jacksons had Michael and nobody..I mean NOBODY could touch that.
But thr silvers had the whole family .....Micheal and Janet had the talent..the rest of that family ......was peanuts without the 🐘.
monica horton Facts!!
couldnt have made it more obvious they was singing from a track huh?
When the lip sync is 99% lip and 1% sync.
Man, I just wish they considered getting better songwriters than just Leon! They had the talent but the songs just weren’t hittin’!
