      @@reneejohnson9256 - Let's hope their sent of duty come from mom's side. The dad left the mom to raise those 10 children alone. I think the oldest was no more than 15 or 16 when the man left. Shame.

      I saw on another video/post where someone said the difference between The Sylvers, The Jacksons and Debarge was the father...Joe Jackson versus the father who left the mother with many kids and the father who abused/assaulted his kids before leaving...not that Joe was standup...but...I'm watching this 2024...Dec 26 🖤🖤🖤

    I grew up with the Sylvers and the Jackson Five. Every time I hear the song "Cotton Candy" I experience some great memories! I'm glad I came up in that era of great music and entertainment. There's a video of the Sylvers which was recorded in 2017. And they still have the quality! Amazing!

    You know every time I listen to The sylvers the first thing I do is I will put a thumbs up, then I will look to the right and see how many thumbs are down, and then I wonder what do these people look like putting their thumbs down, I think they're probably jealous or miserable, and ignorant the silvers are one of the together families who stick together that's very rare even in this day and time you don't hardly ever see families together doing things anymore so I think it's very cruel to put a thumbs down on someone who is star status.

    But, I actually didn't know he was such a good singer and performer *in his own right* in the 70s.

    What a talented bunch. It’s always bothered me when talent like this doesn’t get the recognition it deserves but “acts” like P. Diddy, for example are hailed as if they are the most talented when they really don’t hold a candle to real talent like this.

    • @williebowen2965

      P-Diddy is Garbage. He made it by sampling other people's music. Example Notorious from Duran-Duran and written by Nile Rogers, Every breath you Take by the Police. He's a farce. Sylvers have talent.
