      Definitely, I was just going to say the same. Especially in the last third, when the instruments are featured. That kind of complex and super tight orchestration in r and b is only found in Leon's work, as far as I know.

      Indeed! Produced by Leon Sylvers - written by his wife Nidra Beard, William Shelby (both of Dynasty and prolific songwriters in their own right) and Stephen Shockley of Lakeside. Hence the Solar 'feel'.

    WOW, this is REAL music and I'm not just saying it.
    The musical instruments! You don't hear that in today's music. Even though a song of the past could've been pre-recorded, you could still differentiate whether a live instrument was played in a studio between some computerized noise.
    That's beautiful. That's what a lot of music today lacks, unfortunately.
    This is a REALLY great song. =)

    Here it is 2020 and I'm just now hearing this song for the first time! I wish I had known about "Lover Come Back" back in the day bc I definitely would've included it in a mix tape (remember those?!) for wooing that special someone to come back and give our love another try. I think of the man who unknowingly captured my heart first as a young freshman with his own huge "Sylvers fro" (back in '76). I had such a bad crush on him and he even resembled Leon a little! Fate stepped in 10 years later ... we met and became friends. He was so gorgeous and romantic ... It was great while it lasted, but it was not a forever love. I feel Foster when he sings, "... I miss you sooooooo muchhhh".

      The album is fantastic in my opinion even though it was generally overlooked and didn't sell well.. Leon reunited with his siblings taking over the reins of production. .1981 wasn't a good year for Solar artists as they were changing their distribution label. The marketing was poor shalamar and dynasty also suffered dismal record sales from poor promotional that year..

    Foster is handling that lead! The group sounds good. Yep this is my era! The thing about it, is that it sounds like Shalamar & Dynasty. Leon wrote for them as well.

      💯 He had a bright future ahead of him, and ruined it chasing underage girls and drugs. I still love the Sylvers. This song was so underrated.

    This is the third song I've discovered on TH-cam that I've never heard before until now and wonder why I've missed it when it came out back in 1981 ( I was 12 then). This should have been a smash R& B hit by the Sylvers back in the Solar days. But the record company was parting their ways with RCA at the time and moving under the MCA umbrella. I've played this clip twice every night every since I've heard it. This was truly great music!

    I only heard this song about one week ago, love this song from beginning to ending, what a talented family "The Sylvers". The Sylvers music was popular all over the Caribbean in the 70's and we loved their beautiful songs.

    @marellamofo Absolutely great seeing them. They were an extremely talented and good looking family. Olympia was very beautiful. It hurt to hear what happened to her and hurt more to see how her ordeal affects her family to this day. That family deserved far more shine.

    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!!

    The Sylvers, 9 members, starting at the age of 9 years old...Underestimated group, despite they huge success early 70' produced by Leon Sylvers III and the more magic pop touch Freddie Perren, also producer of huge hits for The Jackson 5.Later on in early 80' the success wasn't as the 70's one. Gladly Leon Sylvers III Started to produce for the unmistakable label SOLAR RECORDS, he scored multi platinum hits for : Shalamar, The Whispers,Dynasty, The Lakeside, finally reunite some the siblings on the album CONCEPT on Solar Records, which to me is one of my old time fav album, all the cuts are superb. " Come Back Lover Come Back". This one is the prove of my, still tears drop song. I can never stop getting goosebumps each time I play this song. The so esoteric Strings arrangement that impeccably move the song to next level, the tight funk rhythm and horns section, so "on the one" gets into your body, the harmonies, the melody fulfil the soul. I will never get tired of this Song, and the whole album "Concept."

    I too was a huge fan of The Sylvers, however, this track slipped right past me. Didn't get any airplay in Michigan and that's a damn shame because it would have certainly been a hit. I am so thankful for TV One doing Unsung documentary on this incredibly talented family. I sure wish I could have gotten a taste of that fine azz Rickey ... whew, should be againt the law for a man to be this fine. Lol ... Love them dearly. Hope Rickey and Foster are released soon. Fans here truly adore you all !!
