Talented, beautiful family. And Leon Sylvers was a mega-talented musician, writer and producer of some of the greatest riffs, acts and hits of the 70s. Much respect.
I love looking back at these 70s videos. It's such a breath of fresh air to see no false hair painted on faces (heavy makeup) and teeth layered in veneers. Just natural and beautiful. ~Blake
What a beautiful family. Ten children all together. Saw them on Groucho Marx show with their parents when there were only 5 and one in the oven. They sang in harmony even as little kids. Lovely.
I just saw them as kids,the youngest as a pregnancy, when their parents were on Groucho Marx's game show, on a TH-cam vid. I've never heard of them but how cute.
back in the late 70's that's how I started to love soul, groups and individuals like this beautiful talented family of "Singers" not artists as they call themselves now.
I was 10 when I first discovered the Sylvers. Foster is about 4 years older than me, so he was the sexy older man. Saw them in concert at Magic Mountain - was one of the best days of my life!!
The Legendary Sylvers are one of the greatest family groups that ever existed in the music industry. These legends gave the world the best timeless music that will capture our hearts and soul forever. Amazing and extraordinary talented beautiful women and handsome men in this family can sing. ❤❤❤ I hope they are honored and given the acknowledgement they deserve.
If you noticed Patricia was looking at Ricky as saying you better not say anything to embarrass me.I loved me me some Patricia Sylvers,she was my favorite.
I love the Sylvers. The music, the synchronized dancing and they're all so cute and goodlooking. So talented. Had no idea they were multi-platinum artists.
Dick Clark had the presence of mind to read the plaque and show it to the audience. By contrast, Don Cornelius of Soul Train, when the Sylvers gave him a thank-you plaque...
Shoot you better be glad he had the fortitude to have a show for black people at all instead of not picking about unimportant things... Don was smooth and the atmosphere on soul train was better in my opinion...it felt like home.
@@sunflowerpwr.8821 Yes! Dick Clark always came off lowkey condescending to black artist, his interviews always felt awkward...but he did give black artist air time, Don Cornelius was weird with his interviews as well IMO but again these artist got showcased so it's a give and take 🤷♂️
Hey check them out when they were babies with their parents & Groucho Marx on his game show called, “You Bet Your Life “. Beautiful & talented right from the start!
Yes, I've seen that. It was very cool and I'm glad Groucho allowed extended time to be with them and to show their talents. Someone said "dad" left the family. What did I miss on that?? Thanks!
@@stevedouglas7375 yes...I was horrified to think he could just up and leave that way...But he does come across as arrogant and not so thrilled that a new baby was on the way...
I just saw this family on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx...there were only six children at the time with mom expecting the seventh...father was very handsome an mom very pretty.... mom
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!!!
I have a chance to see the Sylvers in St Louis back in the seventies it was truly a blessing the Jackson 5 and the Sylvers they were considered as the first families of the black community so proud of them love them both make no distinction between these two
The Jackson's got the name the black Beatles And sold more records and all these Groups Sorry can't win this one Just And in the rock roll hall of fame Facts
We'd all love to see the performances too, but it's not a matter of not having them, they can't show them for copyright / clearance / rights / ownership reasons. I love the Sylvers!
It saddens me that their father just walked away leaving the mother to raise all those kids. Fortunately she was grounded and they turned out successful. Thank god for our strong mothers..
Lovely family I believe one of the boys has passed away Edwin. Just watched them on a game show with their parents with Groucho Marx very intelligent check it out.

They are so gorgeous! What a beautiful family!
Hello, how are you doing today
O
Yes! They certainly are beautiful!
They are a gorgeous family
@Willie Gordon Those were hip days. I'm glad i experienced that era.
Not only was this family super talented, they had the best afros in the business back in the day!☺
Yeah, well imagine sitting behind that afro in geometry class!🤣
The J5 couldn't mess with theirs either.
@@pjangels609 but the sleep you could get sleeping behind it though.
I had a friend in High School that sported a huge fro. He would hide joints in it to smoke behind the gym!
Leon is a legendary writer and producer
This family had natural beauty, and is so talented and gifted! Loved this group growing up in the 70’s! Timeless!
When people were real and families stuck together. They look so nice.And was so talented.Could really sing not programmed.
I can't believe how humble were the African American bands comparing today !!!!!!!!!

No tattoos, weaves, extensions.Understandable grammar
No facial contouring, lace fronts, two inch false eyelashes, and fake body parts.
@@faith2xxx So sad that they would be considered "over dressed" in this industry now.
@@missayawk Blah Di blah Di blah......in the 60s, performers had wigs as tall as the Eiffel Tower! Everything goes in circles.
Get some perspective.
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 yes and some men had " processes".But at least they look presentable.When is THAT coming back?
Damn they went platinum way back then....sheesh
yeah it's a lot easier to get platinum nowadays with streaming
They are all so Quiet and well spoken...Talented and just a Beautiful Family..
Gorgeous family.
What a beautiful family. Ten children all together. Saw them on Groucho Marx show with their parents when there were only 5 and one in the oven. They sang in harmony even as little kids. Lovely.

The Sylvers Are A Beautiful Kool Family. Thanks Dick Clark For Having Them On Your ( American Bandstand )..
Their dad is my cousin from Memphis Tennessee and believe me, this is just a dose of our family’s genius vocals.
I believe it! Did you see the episode on "What's My Line" with Grocho Marx? You can watch it on TH-cam! Classic and they were children!.
It’s sad to think that these young people are probably close to seventy years old by now. 😢😢😩😩
Their vocals aren’t all that great individually just average ...that sound good harmonizing though
Very gifted family. God is good. I thought it was sad he left them, according to Unsung. I pray they were able to reconcile. 🙏🏽
The dad ran out on them i guess you forgot to mention that.
I WAS IN LOVE WITH RICKY GROWING UP HAD SO MANY POSTERS AND MAGAZINES ✊🏾❤️
i remember this interview.....i was in awe of them and so very proud
PATRICIA WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL 🤗🤗
Mine Too!!!
I ssee what you are saying. But, in all fairness they all were beautiful. Olympia was a looker too. In a way she reminded me of Marilyn McCoo.
You are not the only one,I love me some Patricia Sylvers.
She's beautiful just like La Toya Jackson
Their mother was beautiful ❤️
She was indeed, R.I.P. Shirley Sylvers...
Patricia looks so fine. That beautiful lonng hair and those eyes. I was always crazy about her.
yes! Patricia so fine !!
Patricia is my favorite out of all of them too.
All the sisters are beautiful and Pat reminds me of Vanity
♈
Olympia
Dick Clark was always a class act!! RIP The Sylvers forever!
❤
I will always love the Sylvers!😘😍All day and all night!
Them some beautiful afros!!!!! They got that good hurrr
🙈
Good ol days... wish I could have seen the rest of the performance... Edmond was so cute as they all are... glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s.
back in the late 70's that's how I started to love soul, groups and individuals like this beautiful talented family of "Singers" not artists as they call themselves now.
Aww I’ve been watching their videos all day today and I just love them! They’re such a beautiful and talented family... Love them!! 💜💜💜
Love them!! They were so humble . Always wished for more from them WITH Leon.
It’s all about Pat. ❤️❤️❤️

A platinum award for TWO MILLION copies sold of the single, "Boogie Fever" -- not too shabby back in the day!! :)
Rick Montgomery - if they even got $1 per record sold in 1977 they would have been set for life.
@@garrisonthad records didn't even cost that much back then. The averaged around fifty to seventy five cents.
If any artist sell million of sales per unit
Ricky was FINE!!
They were a beautiful family.
They are beautiful.
Amazing in every way. So much style, so much class. Days gone by.
If you noticed Patricia was looking at Ricky as saying you better not say anything to embarrass me.I loved me me some Patricia Sylvers,she was my favorite.
Great, but I wish the performance had been included.
YESS LOVE THIS FAMILY. ALL NICE LOOKING. IM 65 NOW STILL LOVE THEM.
🙋♀️💖💜
Damn they were the shit back then
Patricia ... Wow gorgeous ❤️
Patricia my forever crush 😍
Mine too,I love me some Patricia.
Oh my that cuteness up there Edmund 💋💋

@@sunflowerpwr.8821, I agree. Plus, even though Don was the host, he came across as a bit socially awkward.

The Sylvers was one of my favorite groups next to the Jackson 5 I was crazy about Charmaine she went on the stage today
Happy March of Spring from the Little Angels 👼 to the Sylvers. The Sylvers deserves a star 🌟 on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, now is the time.
I agree with you definitely needs a star
Yes and they deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
What an amazing episode! I had a.crush on Leon! This whole family is iconic!
I loved listening to The Sylvers. Love to return to 1976, a be 21 yrs old in the United States Marine Corps.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 I'm so glad that you loved their music too! Thank you for serving our Country and we love you for it! 🇺🇸💕
@@Chutney1luv it was an honor to serve. I'd do it again. Semper Fi
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Semper Fi, to you too Sir!
Patricia at (1:35) is drop dead gorgeous! I wish she was my wife!
Perfect afro's
Olympias sultry voice
Princess Poetess Yes, indeed!! I love hearing her speak.
I wanted to marry olympia but she didnt know me. Maybe in another life.
Hey check them out when they were babies with their parents & Groucho Marx on his game show called, “You Bet Your Life “. Beautiful & talented right from the start!
Wow Saw Groucho...Why did Dad just abandon such a beautiful and talented family?
@@KennedyMusicTheories He did? How did I miss that. Was that mentioned in this video?? Thanks!
Yes, I've seen that. It was very cool and I'm glad Groucho allowed extended time to be with them and to show their talents. Someone said "dad" left the family. What did I miss on that?? Thanks!
@@stevedouglas7375 yes...I was horrified to think he could just up and leave that way...But he does come across as arrogant and not so thrilled that a new baby was on the way...
I was so happy when I came across it, but that info really bought me down after I read that ..sad dad😡😡
"High School Dance" was my favorite song from "The Sylvers" back in the day when I was a Kid. Fond memories.
I just saw this family on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx...there were only six children at the time with mom expecting the seventh...father was very handsome an mom very pretty.... mom
Yes, their Mom was very pretty.
The mother was pregnant with Angie.
Obviously I did not know them but the way they presented themselves was amazingly professional, respectful and humble.
I like the interview Dick Clark made sure All were recognized & acknowledged fantastic🖤
WOW, memories!
Patricia is fine as wine ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had her!
Beautiful hair! 👍🙂💃🏽🕺🏽
THEY ARE GORGEOUS
This was 🔥
A Class Act
If Ricky is not the sexiest man alive
Princess Poetess Patricia is sexy as any girl come.😍😍😍😘😘😘

And Flava Flav?
It would be great to return to 1976. This was a great yr for music. Also being a 21 yr old United States Marine.
Ricky Ricky Ricky Ricky!!
very happy looking family
I love this!
I have a chance to see the Sylvers in St Louis back in the seventies it was truly a blessing the Jackson 5 and the Sylvers they were considered as the first families of the black community so proud of them love them both make no distinction between these two
You were lucky I would of loved to see them performed in their prime.
The Five Stair Steps of Chicago were the first family of soul before the Jackson's.
@@jaleelel-shabazz6736 But then the Jackson's took over
@@jarrettcone8949: There can only be one "First". It was the 5 Stair Steps‼️
The Jackson's got the name the black Beatles And sold more records and all these Groups Sorry can't win this one Just And in the rock roll hall of fame Facts
Foster was absolutely adorable 😍
Happy BDay Edmund Sylvers!!!🎉🎉🎉 RIP Man🙏👊💯
Dick Clark, one of a kind!
I loved the Sylvers!
Love her
Loved Ricky Sylvers
Beautiful family awesome smiles
people oftentimes tell me i resemble olympia, now i’m finding out we both libras?!?!😩😩
I remember this group The leader of the group Edmond died a few years back from cancer.
The good ole days of people with actual talent.
Angie was my favorite, so pretty, as are/were all the other Sylvers daughters, just an awesome, talented family indeed...
@@flowers.galore You should say Alicia Keys sounds like Angie and Patricia, as they were first...
The FRO'S are ON POINT!!!
Why was/is everyone drooling over Edmund he was not all that . Leon was by far the most attractive
Libra like me!
Gorgeous family!
I had not seen this before. Do you have the actual performance? The Sylvers were and are my favorite group of all times!
Thank you for sharing!
Gregapolis Right! I love the interviews that are posted, but I would love to see the performances from these episodes as well.
We'd all love to see the performances too, but it's not a matter of not having them, they can't show them for copyright / clearance / rights / ownership reasons. I love the Sylvers!
Just like the Jackson. Wow 2019
OMG! Beautiful family
Platinum………👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Olympia the Libra... yaaaaasssss Libra sister, and hell yea... we know and see everything!!!! 🧐🤨😐 #LibraNation
They all look alike
What a beautiful family
1976 was a year before the disco craze took off with the movie "Saturday Night Fever".
DISCO WAS OUT YEARS BEFORE SNF
@@sheldontaylor2002 thank you!!
2 million in the 70s. Amazing.
Edmond RIP...🙏🏾
💟
It saddens me that their father just walked away leaving the mother to raise all those kids. Fortunately she was grounded and they turned out successful. Thank god for our strong mothers..
What the hell happened to our culture...We used to be so polite & well mannered.
Gangsta rap and crack, that what's up.
Beautiful, classy soulful, sweet. Now all we got is RAUNCH.
Dig the fros!
I wouldn’t have gave him my gold record!
Lovely family I believe one of the boys has passed away Edwin. Just watched them on a game show with their parents with Groucho Marx very intelligent check it out.
Edmund passed away. He was my favorite of the group.
