I think it was kind of unfair to interview them and for Don to kind of push the issue. They were too young to take a more diplomatic approach. They seemed nervous and didn't know how to explain the reason. Great song, but it sounds like that family had some issues.
@@lusasilva8373 their brother Leon who wrote most of the songs for the group said that the song was to high for the lead singer of the group Edmund....and Foster and the other 2 sisters (these 3 were younger and not in the main group) thought it would fit Foster's voice perfectly as Edmund's voice had changed....and BTW what family or rather what person does not have some issues it's called life
@_futureceo umm... .Leon is the OLDER brother of Foster, he wrote this and many other of the families hits, then went on to write and produce numerous hits for the likes of Dynasty, the Whispers etc.
Man look at that natural love it. How big and beautiful ✊🏾crazy I always thought this was the Jackson’s specifically Micheal until my father told me it was them. Great song.
Interesting! I too am 60 years old; didn't know we were the same age when I watched this on Soul Train when I was a kid! Happy Birthday Foster Sylvers.
@@061romell Let me remind you of the original lead singer Jermaine. Who had a successful solo career as well. Janet Jackson was a mega superstar. Mike was on another level, but the whole family was talented.
This is true a forgotten oldie! I remember this song well! But afterwards, it was rarely played in oldies stations and became forgotten! Foster looks confused up there on what part to sing because it sounds like there are several young male vocals on this track doing individual parts.
It wasn't that Foster was nervous and didn't know what to sing. It's just that each of the background singers had their own parts, and the cameraman did a poor job of focusing on the one singing at the time.
Why? This is the Sylvers song. Plus LaToya and Rebbie didn't have natural singing voices. They had to take lessons. All of the Sylvers had natural singing voices. I love the Jackson's but only a few of them excluding Michael could actually sing.
people say they imitaded the Jacksons, not true they have been on Groucho Marx show You Bet Your LIfe, before the Jackson five started, they were baby's
their brother Leon who wrote most of the songs for the group said that the song was to high for the lead singer of the group Edmund....and Foster and the other 2 sisters (these 3 were younger and not in the main group) thought it would fit Foster's voice perfectly as Edmund's voice had changed....
The jam forever...having performed on Soul train as a backup dancer for artists, 😂😂😂😂😂 it's EASY to see why the older brothers weren't feeling that interview in the beginning; gotta be in the "in-DUST-ry" and KNOW how these "show (outs)" work. Becuz the media won't ever give the FULL story of how the "in-DUST-ry" works......cuz ONLY a non-believer or full-fledged devil worshipper would join after one KNOWs.; that "in-DUST-ry" is not a game at all. Even if people wanted to make an industry of GIFTED loving ARTISTS DOING loving PRODUCTIVE material, they have to get away from the scare of having no money and all the idol worship taught by the system first. Regardless, VERY GIFTED family. VERY GIFTED harmonies on other songs, and on this, the kids was getting it in on the vocals and dance steps; fun and funky. FULL POWER OF LOVE: The HUMAN DNA.
They are so poised and beautiful. I knew Foster was young when he did Misdemeanor. But I thought the girls were much older than him. They were still kids too.
I’m sure the Record Companies were meddling and offered more money to have Foster out front. It’s obvious, they were going for that sound. Those jerks messed up so many groups. No one could touch Micheal, though 🦋🙏🌟🎶🍄
2024 whos here?
I'm here..😅
Me!

Count me in!

Loved the Afros!
YESSS..and that dancing..trying to be kool..LoL😂
I KNOW RIGHT?
Shout out to Dr. Dre for sampling this beat D.O.C It's funky enough
th-cam.com/video/aj05_oLaRjQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4aIkgqJS1hTeVWpN
That was a funky dope flip! th-cam.com/video/UiPbeIXZpD4/w-d-xo.html
Dre did that
SWV FT SNOOP ALSO BTW!
They are killing those afros go ahead Brothers
I love how natural this is. The brothers in the beginning were clearly not happy with Foster getting this song to himself!
They tried to make him like Mike, the industry knew one was enough.

@@RB-gt8bf 🗣 Thank you
@@myladcook4779 Facts 💯
Fun Fact Time: Edmund Sylvers the one that Don is talking to first he was the voice of Marlon Jackson in the Jackson 5ive cartoon.
Really? Didn't know that thank you
@@askiacouch53 you're welcome
And the first to wear the Jehri Curl in an album cover.
Really
Facts....
This record is THE S--T. Michael Jackson is a genius, but so is Leon Sylvers and never got credit for tat.
No offense, but he was nowhere near as polished as Michael. Michael was really gifted and touched by God.
I used to think this was Michael
@_futureceo umm... .Leon is the OLDER brother of Foster, he wrote this and many other of the families hits, then went on to write and produce numerous hits for the likes of Dynasty, the Whispers etc.
Best Afros in the business!
That song is jammin'. I'm blasting it on my way to work tomorrow.
This is my jam Foster and I share the same birthday also the same age he's 61 as of 2023
This song is so cold. Love it!!
Are we not going to appreciate the glorious natural beauty here ? Look at the fros ! The beautiful black women ! ❤❤
Love how the sisters voice have different ranges
I'm here in 2023 and this old school soulful music touched my spirit the Bass Line🎸 was killer🔥🔥🔥🔥
True Facts
I’m here in 2024 & still jamming to this Old School song 🎵
One of Leon's best basslines
Those Afro’s were full of soulllll❤

Edmond's voice changed. But the way Ricky gave his sister's their due. Don seemed so nervous.
Life 1973. 🎹
Ricky said "Imma need the mic from you for a hot sec."
Loved the. Sylvers very talented family!❤🎵
I can't get that song out of my head it lives there rent free and I'm okay with that😊❤
I agree with you🎄💖
She stole his heart it’s just a misdemeanor
Them brothers afros are epic💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯🔥💯
This was my song for real!!! It’s crazy how the business comes between groups and families even then.. smh..
I used to love Foster...lol..
I love how the WHOLE family had to participate... thats just how it was back then
THR BASSLINE IS SICK!!!!
2024 and i'm here for this!!
Doc sampled this. The original the best
It's so natural, no editing, everyone doing their own thing. I miss this era...
Man look at that natural love it. How big and beautiful ✊🏾crazy I always thought this was the Jackson’s specifically Micheal until my father told me it was them. Great song.
I had no idea they made this song 😮
Yes, loved the look and the sound!! From a 70's girl!!
D.O.C. used this beat for ' Is it funky enough '
Really 😂
@@Brian-oo1mt Right. Hes saying that like he's dropping knowledge
@Gamer Incorporated Sure it is for most. But actually the credit goes to Dr. Dre cause he is the one that used it for D.O.C.
I remember when this episode aired. I was in love with Pat. 😝
Afros were so unique and dope
terrific song/production by the multi-talented leon sylvers iii... masterful bass line...
Man in 2022 I ain’t arguing with no fool who don’t remember this 🤣🤣🤣

Happy 61st Birthday 🎈🎂🎉 yesterday 🥰 Wow, times flies fast☺️
Used to be my jam back in the day
So soft spoken ❤
The groove is so smooth baby
I remember seeing this on TV when I was about 9
Sounds like it was written for .. or with Mj& The Jackson Five 👀in 🧠ijs😊☺️
Leon knew what he was doing
I don’t know if the brothers were totally on board with letting Foster sing the song😂. His voice sounds so good with his sisters voices though.
I remember when my brother and me had Afros lol all gone now 😂
Our culture
Omg those Afros are amazing!!!!
HAPPY 61ST BIRTHDAY
FOSTER SYLVERS
(FEBRUARY 25, 2023)
The Sylvers were no jokes. In fact the a little edge over the Jackson 5's because the oldest brother was a serious song writer.
I don't think so it was the other way around
I'm pretty sure jackie could have wrote the songs but motown didnt let them write music. But you are right there Leon is one hell of a songwriter!
@@ENIGIZERb plenty of groups had an edge over them, without Michael would they have been as successful?
@@061romell Let me remind you of the original lead singer Jermaine. Who had a successful solo career as well. Janet Jackson was a mega superstar. Mike was on another level, but the whole family was talented.
Here we go with the kick off of dumb internet remarks. 😅
When Our indigenous Indian ppl were beautiful, natural and whole lot of soulllll ❤💚🖤

Yep
..but he needed the shot....Leon gave us Shalimar and the wispers....I think he guud
Wow!! This era will never exist again. This sound has layers and twists sonically that took a real talent to write and imagine.
I knew this back in the day at specialist parties in London U.K. Always thought it was called Mystery learnt. Still a boss tune
I would have loved to hear Michael Jackson and Rebbie and Latoya sang this back in the day!
Why tf would they sing it, it’s not their song, Constance.
Why? This is the Sylvers song. Plus LaToya and Rebbie didn't have natural singing voices. They had to take lessons. All of the Sylvers had natural singing voices. I love the Jackson's but only a few of them excluding Michael could actually sing.
@tamyrajones9566 exactly 💯 wonder why people keep comparing them to the. Jacksons😢
@@nowwatching5206I agree with you 💯
Michael wouldn’t sing this… lol he had his own hits to sing at that age
My BEAUTIFUL BLACK brothas and Sistas.
I love this
Hot DAMN.... those fro's are OUTSTANDING 😊
people say they imitaded the Jacksons, not true they have been on Groucho Marx show You Bet Your LIfe, before the Jackson five started, they were baby's
They forgot to tell Foster he was supposed to be singing the lead vocals
You noticed that too.
that's not right. All 3 are separate voices here. Listen closely.
@@myjourney5753 listen again
Tiktok bought me here. Had no idea!!!
Adorable!!!!
Kool dude doing that re-run 70's dance👍
The D.O.C used this Beat.
dr dres genius..shyne, run the jewels etc but these guys are the originals
Yeah, that's why I just decided to look it up. I always thought it was by The Jackson 5 .
Is it funky enough by D.O.C. !! spot on man!
their brother Leon who wrote most of the songs for the group said that the song was to high for the lead singer of the group Edmund....and Foster and the other 2 sisters (these 3 were younger and not in the main group) thought it would fit Foster's voice perfectly as Edmund's voice had changed....
Yoooo lol “it’s funky enough” 🤣💯💯💯I love being black!!!
Way too funky
Who had the outfit & boots like the sisters had on? Me and sisters! With turtleneck underneath though 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Yes!! those white boots! Loved them.
2024❤️💙💚🔥🔥🔥

Nice looking family
Edmund Sylvers ❤
They are so poised and beautiful. I knew Foster was young when he did Misdemeanor. But I thought the girls were much older than him. They were still kids too.
Dr. Dre and DJ Quick sampled this gem for the song "It's Funky Enough" by The D.O.C.
The Afros, though!!!
I want to make music like this. So good 😭
I hope you do sister. We need it
Great upload
The D.OC. sampled this in the " ITS FUNKY ENOUGH ".
No it's the formula.... I'm not sure it's one of those songs
And I always thought that he was Micheal signing. Damb
Whatta musical family they were!!
Don was messy interviewing them 😂😂😂
the grove of this influenced rap
Still have my albums ❤
Power Afros fr fr
His sweet little face
I’m sure the Record Companies were meddling and offered more money to have Foster out front. It’s obvious, they were going for that sound. Those jerks messed up so many groups. No one could touch Micheal, though 🦋🙏🌟🎶🍄
Magnificent afros
They were so great
This track is dropping hard in uk clubs
Innocence 🥰🥰🥰
Live those fros Brothers.
So this is where Diddy got the sample for Shayne's song, That's Gangster. I love this song though
Classic RIP Don
The 'fros is LIFE!
10 in the house? No television in that house huh? 😂
I love those afros
Look at them afros looking Good 👍🏽
