Attention: I’ve Mistakenly Said Leon Was Born In 1943 Instead Of 1953 Which Is My Fault. I’m Aware That I Showed A Photo Of Charmaine But Said It Was Olympia. The Website Where I Got The Photo From Said It Was Olympia But I Should’ve Made Sure. At The End Of The Video Where I Named Family Groups… I Did NOT Forget To Mention Any Groups I’ve Named A Few And Asked For You All To Name More Groups Who You Feel Should Be Mentioned When Asking Who Is The Best Family Group. (Realistically I Wasn’t Going To Name 40+ Family Group Names Just Want To Make That Clear That No Group Was Left Out Or Failed To Be Mention I Seen That Thrown Around A lot)

Also Misdemeanor Was A Single By Foster Sylver. I Did Not Forget To Mention This Song In The Video I Didn’t Mention Anyone’s Solo Careers I May Mention That A Person Pursued A Solo Career But Never Went Into Detail Of It This Video Was Focused Solely On The Sibling Group The Sylvers. If You Want Individual Videos Of The Siblings Please Let Me Know.

Question: Who is the Little Guy in the Family Photo @ 2:24 on the Left? I see the 9 Sylvers Members & Little Christopher at the Bottom-Center, but who is the Other Little Guy? A Grandchild, Maybe?

There was an interview with some members of the Sylvers. They talked about Don Cornelius and Dick Clark. Both men had a positive impact on the Sylvers career. Dick Clark warned them that certain individuals with strong influence didn't want the Sylvers to succeed. Exactly who or why wasn't explained. After the Five Stairsteps and J5 had success, I was hoping the Sylvers would blow up also. They did have a level of success, but it should have been on a larger scale.

Leon lll was born in 1953. He is 2 years younger than Olympia. Vocally, The Emotions and Pointer Sisters (when there were 4) stood above the others. Musically, The Isley Brothers were a self contained band, especially in the 70's. And you forgot about Tavares, and the Bee Gees. In the 80's, Zapp had the Troutman Brothers.

Didn't mention that Edmund had 11, possibly 12 kids. Charmaine was the first to step away from the group when she was pregnant. She was the first of them to be married. Olan/Olympia very tragically, was kidnapped, drugged and sexually assaulted. The police found and brought her home 3 days later. She was traumatized and turned to drugs for awhile. She married and had kids is a grandmother. Her husband passed. Their father, Leon Sr. left because as fame hit the family, he partied instead of paying the bills. Their mother was pregnant when they appeared on "You bet your life" in 1955. Leon was voted out of the group because of pressure to keep their contract. He was picked up by SOLAR as a writer and started the group Dynasty. My favorite songs are New Horizon and Forever Yours. Charmaine did a single for Gene Page called 'Love starts after Dark'

By the time I started school, Best Of My Love & I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love were big hits. Whenever we had assembly at school, 2 of my friends & I *ALWAYSSSSSSSS* sang Best Of My Love! 🤣 I recently found one of them on FB & asked if she remembered us doing that, she did! 🤣 I also loved The Jones Girls, that's a story I'd love to hear! They were the only girl group to come close to them in the 70s/80s, with the exception of EnVogue in the 90s.

Yep. Leon produced AND wrote a lot of their material. I watched a documentary about them. They had a slimy manager who convinced them to vote Leon out. The slimy manager bumped heads with Leon previously, so getting him out of the way was planned. The group got ripped off by the mgr. 50% of their earnings went into his pockets. Leon would not have allowed that to happen.

All the groups you listed were great and had their own flair. Here is my personal list. 1. The Isleys 2. The Jackson 3. The Emotions & The Pointer Sisters are a tie for me 4. DeBarge 5. The Sylvers Sidenote, weren't The Jones Girls related as well as Tavares and The Gap Band? Also, The Bee Gees, Brothers Johnson & The Jets.

I love their earlier work, but was really impressed with the sound of their later New Horizons album. There were such sophisticated arrangements on that album that harken back to some of their earlier work, such as Fools Paradise. In many instances The Sylvers, in my opinion achieved a superior harmony than the Jacksons, though I love both groups. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing! 🙏🌹👑✨️👑🌹✨️🙏

I remember The Sylvers growing up in the 70s. My favorite songs by them back then was Hotline, Boogie Fever & Cotton Candy. I got reacquainted with I Wish That I Could Talk To You, Baby when I bought The 1st series of Soul Train DVDs in the late 90/00s. It was many yrs before I realized that it was Forster Sylvers who sang Misdemeanor & not Michael Jackson. I feel a special soul connection to Soul Train bcuz it came out nationally the yr I was born, 1971. I honestly remember watching Soul Train when I was 2/3 yrs old, from the Soul Train commercials, my favorites were Queen of Sheba & The Black Code, the only black commercials at the time & you only saw them when Soul Train aired. That was another perk I really appreciated on the Soul Train DVDs, they included some really classic commercials I remembered growing up in the 70s. Leon when on to be a great producter of many artists after the group. It is very sad what happened to the family as a whole though.
