The Sylvers are an R&B/Soul family group known for their harmonious vocals and infectious grooves. With a career spanning several decades, they have established themselves as one of the most influential acts in the genre. Their music is reminiscent of other iconic artists such as Heatwave, The Emotions, and The Main Ingredient.

Formed in Watts, Los Angeles, The Sylvers quickly gained popularity with their unique blend of soulful melodies and energetic performances. Their talent runs deep within the family as each member contributes their own distinct style to create a cohesive sound that captivates audiences worldwide.

With hits like "Boogie Fever" and "Hot Line," *The Sylvers* have left an indelible mark on the music industry. Their smooth harmonies combined with catchy hooks make for timeless classics that continue to resonate with fans today. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, *The Sylvers* are sure to leave you wanting more.

This is masterpiece. And we mean it. Beautiful, golden-era soul written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by Jerry Butler and Keg Johnson. The Sylvers were a family from Los Angeles who were very successful during the 70’s and into the early 80’s, with chart hits - deep into pop-disco territory by then! - including Boogie Fever, Hot Line and High School Dance. This is the group’s second album, from 1973, and is one of their strongest. Opening with the awesome mid-tempo We Can Make It If We Try the record moves through funk, boogie and deep soul moods, finishing on a hazy, acapella version of The Beatles Yesterday. The Sylvers always provide a goldmine of samples. This album has been flipped by Madlib (for MF DOOM), Homeboy Sandman, 50 Cent, Ghostface Killah, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, David Banner, 9th Wonder and more.
