Unfortunately, when RCA bought their contract from Golden Tone (their original label), they also bought their name and when they made their second album on Motown under the name 21st Creation, no one assocated them with the group that made "Remember The Rain."! By the way, the record sold 20 thousand copies in 2 weeks in Chicago and its immediate area alone!
@ryuzaki825 I know what will Smith did to summer madness was a "sample". But to. E, and a lot o people like me, THAT was a REMIX!!! He only added dopeness to it!! But I understand you were being "technical". And thas ok too! Have a nice one!✌🏿
I can’t believe this is not a Jackson 5 song. They sound amazing! He sounds very much so identical to Michael. beautiful voice. I just knew that was Jermaine talking at 1:09. They deserve more recognition for sure.
It's 1/13/22 and this is my first time hearing this song.... I was surprised to find out this wasn't the Jackson 5...but now that I found this I'll dive into their music.. it's dope
@@JuanMorales-qc6xs actually this is the them they did remake of it from 21 century who are the originals of this song and they did it just like they did
Grew up with the Sylvers, so much talent. They were grievously mistreated by numerous villains within the music industry...Our Father kept His hands over them. They had to withstand some extraordinary tragedies... I love them to this day.
*LYRICS* We used to play out in the rain Your mother scolded us She said that we were bad (She said that we were bad) I thought I better go on home You watched till I was gone Ooh, girl, you looked so sad I picked you up when you fell And cut your knee I told you not to cry And held you close to me As I was running Through the storm To get my umbrella on (Think about it...) I stopped in shock When I saw you with Another fellow, oh, wow Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself You broke so many rules in school I took the blame for you I guess I was the fool You used to sneak me notes in class I winked my eye and laughed Those days went by so fast I heard remarks That tore us all apart I'm still trying to put back The pieces to my heart And I'll be crying your name, girl Until my very last breath (Think about it...) 'Cause my existence without you Ain't nothing but a little death Gosh Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself Can you remember the rain (Think about it...) Can you remember the rain (Think about it...) Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby (Can you remember the rain) Baby, baby, baby, baby...
@@daftpunkfan8903 Yeah I guess so. ‘Remember the rain’ is like asking ‘Do you remember the sad times we went through together?’ or ‘Do you remember how much you meant to me?’ It’s like trying to let them know how heartbroken you are and how all those meaningful memories we went through together are now meaningless.
It’s because this song isn’t by the sylvers. It’s by *21st century.* The uploader put the wrong group name. It still ain’t on Spotify anyway but just sayin
Also having a young, male, high-pitched lead singer that looks remarkably like a young Michael Jackson lol. It’s hard to argue the similarities aren’t there. I don’t think they deserve to be underrated, but I can see why people back then would have thought they were copying the Jacksons
Can we please give the Sylvers their flowers.❤❤❤ This was a successful professional R&B family group that contributed huge hits in the music business from the era of the 70s. Beautiful talented group. 💐 💐 💐 The world remember Boogie Fever and Misdomenor two great hits.
i was wearing pigtails, chewing bubble gum and still riding my bike with the banana seat around the neighborhood when this came out. i had no idea about love, dating or a boyfriend, but i had an idea what was to come when i heard this. love it.
And your comment is exactly what they tell us how people can try to rewrite someone else’s legacy smh... I like searching up older music that newer songs sample and basically just came down to this page on my RU-vid rabbit hole searching lol... the Mario - Somebody Else song brought me here and I’ve been trying and googling to see is 21st Century and The Sylvester different groups or a branch of each other
@@sk98msmc Who said anything about being the first? Read and try to comprehend my comment again. I said this is the "21st Century's" song that is playing in the video, not anyone else who allegedly did this song.
эта песня очень душевная!!! и красиво звучит!!! спасибо группе за такой шедевр 🥺💓жаль что эта песня вышла давно, но я думаю она до сих пор в сердцах многих
It’s sad that so many GREAT artist like the sylvers and 21st century didn’t get the recognition they deserved because of the technological capabilities back then. Everything was mainly by word of mouth and the radio
True that, but let me throw another group at you from that era JIMMY BRISCOE AND THE LITTLE BEAVERS from cherry hill in DC. You won’t be disappointed! They were tight also , unknown, and underrated!
@@alleniversonisabeast 21st century, for some reason there’s a mix up on the internet of who played. Almost seems like the Mandela affect ? Cause everyone’s adamant it was the sylvers.
Definitely check "a new horizons" & "cry of a dreamer" / "misdemeanor" "we can make it if we try" / the hits were "boogie fever" & :hot line" but to me thier earlier more soul/funk stuff was is what made them dope and unique the jackson compariosons were there but they had this 4 part harmonys that were unmatched older brother LEON SYLVERS who did most of thier music production was a succefull.producer of late 70s and 80s hits with groups like "dynasty" & shalamar & "the whispers"
We used to play out in the rain Your mother scolded us She said that we were bad (She said that we were bad) I thought I'd better go on home (stepped it up and) You watched till I was gone Ooh, girl, you looked so sad [Pre-Chorus] I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee I told you not to cry and held you close to me [Interlude] As I was running through the storm To get my umbrella (Think about it / Think) I stopped in shock when I saw you With another fellow, oh, wow [Chorus] Can you remember the rain? Can you remember the rain? You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself [Verse 2] You broke so many rules in school I took the blame for you I guess I was the fool You used to sneak me notes in class I winked my eye and laughed Those days went by so fast [Pre-Chorus] I've got remarks that torn us all apart I'm still tryna put back the pieces to my heart [Interlude 2] And I'll be crying your name, girl Until my very last breath (Think about it / Think) 'Cause my existence without you Ain't nothing but a little death Gosh
@@supremeteam8199 I stand corrected!! I'm going by their "ahead of their time" RCA Victor album as well as their Soul Train appearance (probably one of the only times Don didn't get the member names. They did "Child" and "Remember The Rain") -- also in the fall of '75.
THE SLVERS REMADE IT AND THEY DID A GOOD DAM JOB YES ALL THE BROTHERS ARE FINE ITS LIKE THE SEARCH ENGINE DONT GO BACK THAT FAR TO LOCATE ONE AND DONE GROUPS
In the car one day my 15 year old daughter plugged in her playlist and this song played. She stated that this was a beautiful song. I don't know how she heard it but now it's on my playlist.
this lead singer got a beautiful voice. He sound like a mixture of Frankie lymon with a little Michael Jackson. This Melody sound like the b side to Karen carpenter song Superstar. ?) My favorite part of this song is when he "Think about it" "Think about it"😍😘
I thought this was young micheal Jackson..wow foster done a great Job..I know that this song was written for the Jacksons..how cold would it would have been to have Tito or jermain doing the talk parts..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Omg god I’m crying bro I’m 27 and my step pops put me on to this type of music. I never heard this and my soul is burning 🔥. These dudes were some angels
Yes, The Sylvers are a great family singing group, however, it's not The Sylvers singing. It's a group from Chicago called "21st Century". I'm happy to hear the song had such a profound effect on you 🤗. It is a wonderful song. 😍
Leon Sylver, Im really glad this gen made this song viral. Its really awesome that the song he wrote and produced is getting the attention and love it deserves.
Thank you Lisa for correcting them n this is Pierre ,werejust blown away to hear so many fans still after 38 tears GODbless you all n please keep it up.
Yes Rrodney Jersey Club brought me here as well. I believe this song should get some new spitlight with Jersey Club Remix. I hope they read these post n get the sample shared so they can get the credit and bring more of us to the original. I workout to it everyday!!!!! 💯🙏😍🎉🎉🎉
It’s not by the sylvers that’s why, I’m really confused as to why so many people have credited them all across the internet and there’s no history on why but it’s by the band called 21st century if that helps but still I can’t find much on them either.
Nunca tinha ouvido essa música! Não que eu me lembrase! Tenho 48 anos e ao ouvir me bateu uma saudade de lembranças que nunca vivi!! Maravilhosa canção ! Toda vez que escuto toca em minha a alma!!!
21st century was from Chicago's west side, Henry Horner projects. And being from the Chicago projects there were so many things to get into. No real record deal and drugs ,like so many other artists played the main factor.
Amazing amazing amazing song,wish we had more songs and groups like this nowadays, those were them oldies days,the best music made by such great artists
Everyone will be waving at you driving because the heavens will open when you play this joint! It’s from my time as a young girl in the 1970’s when The Sylvers were a phenomenal singing family!
THE GREATEST SYLVERS ALBUM EVER. THIS IS WHEN THEY WERE THE REAL SYLVERS . LEON SYLVERS IS THE MAN FORGET ABOUT TEDDY RILEY. I STILL HAVE A VYNYL OF THIS. CLASSIC MUSIC.GREATEST HARMONIES AND BASS LINES PUT TOGETHER. I AM A BIG LEON SYLVERS FAN. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY FOREVER FOR WHAT THEY GAVE TO THE WORLD. DOC TIMBERLAKE
You must have an album by 21st Century because this song was never done by the Sylvers, although 21st Century did have a similar sound to some other popular groups of that era.
