THANKS FOR ALL!! HALL & OATES.... STUNNED you've not covered this FIRST Hall and Oates hit!! My Fave! The start of philly blue eyed soul!! 1977 - ua-cam.com/video/e6cGR9VDY08/v-deo.html
This is Foster Sylvers solo song with his sisters on background vocals. His older brother Leon wrote it and plays that funky bassline. Leon also produced many hit records after the group broke up.
Thanks Jamel for highlighting this very talented family. Unfairly compared to the Jacksons, they had their own unique style. High School Dance was another big hit from the Sylvers when I was in grade school/junior high.
The guy who is singing this song is Foster Sylvers. He was only 11 years old when this song came out. The song went to #1 on the Billboard Soul charts in the summer of 1973. It also peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Foster hit the charts before the rest of his brothers and sisters did.
Yesss!!! Written by Leon Sylvers, as others have pointed out - definitely have to check out "Hot Line," "High School Dance!" Leon wrote and produced for Shalamar, Lakeside, Midnight Star, The Whispers, Gladys Knight, even New Kids! And he worked with and mentored Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Teddy Riley too! What an unsung talent he is. Foster ... had some issues as an adult, for sure. Their sisters Pat and Angie are doing the backup vocals here.
D.O.C. Dallas Oak Cliff. He lived in my neighborhood and that song of his still is a classic masterpiece. It bumps nonstop. One, to the two, three and four....
Storybook Girl, Cotton Candy, Roulette Wheel of Love and I Wish that I could talk to you are great Sylvers songs. Hotline is what everyone will suggest. React to the others I suggested. KEEP GOOD MUSIC ALIVE!! Peace
FOSTER SYLVERS yes he’s the one who blasts that high pitched “Boogie Fever Babyyyyy!” during the last video. This is actually a solo effort by him but of course the family backs him up. This song was sooooo smooth….
The Sylvers were doomed to live in the shadow of The Jackson 5. Don't forget, The Osmand Brothers were also competing for the "cool young hip but squeaky clean" package that the record companies could promote.
One of the best drum/bass/guitar arrangements in a song. When i first heard it at age 14, I knew my choice of musical instruments (drums, guitar, and bass) were the right choices.
The beat IS awesome, but the harmony with his sisters Pat and Angie really takes "Misdemeanor" to another level. "Cotton Candy" is another favorite of mine.
A talented family. You’ve already heard it! The story was supposed to be, that Leon, actually wrote that song with his brother, Edmond, in mind, but he had grown a bit. So, because his, Edmond’s voice matured, it went to Foster!!! Leon, was responsible for writing so many other’s records! Leon, was a genius!!!
This is my favorite reaction video, from the sudden recognition of the sample, to the disbelief at the connection to a song familiar to him, and finally to the joy he experiences by listening to the entire track. I was head-bobbing along with him, enjoying that this fellow was enjoying the music from my generation...
It's interesting that a beat like that will be used for a whole song now, looped over and over, but back then they just gave you a taste. It makes it that much more special. Makes you want to listen again.
"Misdemeanor" was released and credited to Foster Sylvers as a solo artist. Yes, family members perform on the track and his brother, Leon, produced it. But technically it's not a record by "The Sylvers"
This song is one of my fav. sampled hip hop songs, and The DOC was such a beast on the mic, all before his accident. MJ and Foster Sylver was heavily compared to MJ at that age because of the voice and singing style. Big up to your sister for passing on the knowledge. My fav. reactions is when you recognize the hip hop song that was sampled from the original. There's a cool cover of "Misdemeanor" by jazz artist Ahmad Jamal, also sampled for other hip hop songs. Another great reaction J!!!
To this day I've neve heard DOC smalping version ....But I sure did have the FOSTER SYLVERS album back in 1973 Played the Sylvers music day and night I was a Jackson 5 fanatic Sylvers fanatic clown...Never really compared the 2 ... Just loved both music vocal styles
@@lindamathias6230 ..... It's still a Foster Sylvers solo record. Look at copies of the single and the album it came from. You won't find any that credits the artist as The Sylvers.
@@nashburnette7247 did I debunk what you said? I only said his sister's were background singers. Those two sisters were about a year or two older than Foster. So yes, I did agree with you. Do you remember the first song the Jacksons made. Big Boy. What about the Ponderosa Twins song Bound. Kanye West remixed that song. We had great music then.
@@lindamathias6230 ...... I am aware of that Jackson 5 record. It was on a local independent label. I think it was called something like Steeltown Records. I used to be an obsessed 45-rpm collector, and I had every 45 by The Jackson 5 on Motown and every 45 on Epic Records, credited to The Jacksons. But I could never find a copy of "Big Boy", their debut single on Steeltown Records.
@@lindamathias6230 ..... I have to admit I don't know a lot about Ponderosa Twins + One. The only thing I know about them is their cover of "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke, which was their only Hot-100 chart single. It reached #78 in 1971.
I am so glad you picked this song. I heard it only a few times as a kid in Nor Cal when it was on local AM stations. I never knew who did it and it has since haunted me - just echoing through my head. Then only about 4 years ago, I stumbled upon it somehow and it was like a huge relief. The production is so cool and unique. I think it's great that this song came from within the family. Thanks for spotlighting this tune! * Funny when you discover a sample too!
The Sylvers came out so long ago that I still have a 8 track tape of them! Keep up the good music Jamel ! How about The Baby’s; Everytime I Think of You from the Midnight Special.
This song was never played on the radio station back home. I first heard on CD. Last I heard, Foster still sports a big-ass Afro. 1:26-that’s Foster Sylvers 8:12-it was the DOC who sampled this song. And I heard the DOC version before I heard Foster's song.
the lead to this song is Foster Sylvers,i think hes the youngest of the Sylvers,he was 10 at the time, there is a performance of this song on Soul Train as well :)
That was sampled by DOC "Funky Enough" The Sylvers were like following a trend set by the Jackson 5 for family groups. The Osmond's were also a family group led by Donnie
Also in 1973 there was a heart-throb group called The DeFranco Family. They were kind of a cross between the early Jackson-5 and the Osmonds (mostly like the Osmonds, haha). Their most popular song was "Heartbeat - It's a Lovebeat". Yeah, kind of cheesy now, but a number one hit back then. If nothing else, it might give you a good smile :) Hey, here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/I3Iw2qYtN8A/v-deo.html
Yes!!! I'm the same age as Foster Sylver ( born 1962). You can see him on UA-cam ..... age now... like Foster..... this year 2024 ..... Chapter 62. That's a FUN SONG. That GREAT 70s music!!!
I completely agree with you and used to listen to DOC , my husband put me on to this song in 2021 and i had the same reaction ! and I grew up knowing knowing this group but missed this song !! This song is awesome and I just cant get over how i missed this one . lol
Man I am getting old! I was in the second grade when this song dropped! My older siblings and cousins used to play this over and over! When the D.O.C. sampled this for 'It's Funky Enough' this song bumped in the clubs and in cars, and that was over 30 years ago!!!!!!
😁 Well aw rite na! ... enjoyed your reaction. 👏🏽👏🏽 BIG TIME Jacksons music lover - however, this was my 'secret' 8 year old jam back in '73. God bless you for introducing this.
JAMEL!!!! You are SO good to me!! Damn that was quick!! Thank you!! (Btw, Popin Pete makes beats and remixes, or “flips” songs as he calls it, and has a badasssssss remix/flip with this song.) Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡
Jamel thank you so much for your REACTION to Misdemeanor! Foster appreciates the love!!! Leon wrote this song when he was just 17! It was originally written for Edmund who sang lead on Boogie Fever but his voice matured out of the range Leon wrote it for so the logical voice was 10 year old Foster! Pat & Angie were 11 & 12 at the time and rounded out the trio! This was so very cool & fun! Thanks again! And thx Kara for sharing the family’s music with Jamel! Btw… this song has been sampled often! And they did $hare the love! I’m Foster’s friend & ex-wife. fb.watch/6cpDTO0D9_/
The cool thing about this song is it the backup singers are his real life sisters. So the sisters are telling the little boy get over it it's just a misdemeanor
My name is Wallace...aka...Wally Jr. You're reaction to the song misdorminor was 🤣priceless $ $ $ .. there are folks that would've paid top dollas 💵 too see you're first reaction to this great song 🤣☺️ only here in America 🇺🇲 .. keep up the great work that you do .. New scrubber to the show 👍🏾ps. Could we all get that again... just one more time for those who missed it ..😊
A great song, rythmn, and a good time to be a teenager in USA. Here we are in July 2022 and I had a desire to his this song. This family suffered setbacks, they had so much more to give Thank You Sylvers.
I listen to ALL from opera hiphop rap rnb soul funk country alternative pop bluegrass country calypso classical ... on and on 💋💋💋 to lovers of all music genres... you are now my favorite channel. YO!!❤
Actually THE SYLVERS had a unique stripped down SOUL vibe sound that really was different than the Jackson check morr early SYLVERS joints "fools paradise" only 1 can win" / "we can make it" / cry of a dreamer / a new horizon etc...
Watch the Soul Train video of this song. Of course you'll like the singing. But check out the dancing and outfits worn by the Sylvers. * Foster Sylvers and two of his sisters backing him up ** A must see 👀👀👀👀
When I say I had THE SAME REACTION when this song came on!......this song came on the radio and I literally was like WTF IS THIS? so I cranked up the volume, shazamed it so I wouldn't forget and I just vibed all the way out.
I still remember the year I heard this song. 1986. Was on a cassette given to me by my older cousin. I played it probably 60+ times in a row. Destroyed the tape. Even now. Unbelievable track.
What blowed me is the first time hearing this song was from the movie The Harder they Fall. They was on break and the whole set was dancing to this song.🤯 So I go searching for the Jackson 5 version of this song.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal You should check out The Sylvers cover of The Beatles song "Yesterday". It's on their 2nd album released in 1973. It really shows off their harmonies.

STUNNED you've not covered this FIRST Hall and Oates hit!! My Fave! The start of philly blue eyed soul!! 1977 - ua-cam.com/video/e6cGR9VDY08/v-deo.html
This is Foster Sylvers solo song with his sisters on background vocals. His older brother Leon wrote it and plays that funky bassline. Leon also produced many hit records after the group broke up.
It wasn’t intended to be a solo single. An exec at MGM hastily credited it to Foster rather than the entire group.
Leon Sylvers wrote this when he was 17 years old and played the bass on the track. Leon ran SOLAR records!
Leon is a bad man so talented. Dynasty is a funky good group too. Leo. Is talented
Facts
Leon Sylvers iii awesome bassist and producer... The Whispers, Shalamar, Dynasty etc
Yes Leon Sylvers is exceptional and does what he does very well. He is on my Mount Rushmore of producers!
Dude the bass is SICK in this song!
You brain just trying to process this song like good food bro .
Thanks Jamel for highlighting this very talented family. Unfairly compared to the Jacksons, they had their own unique style. High School Dance was another big hit from the Sylvers when I was in grade school/junior high.
Y'all just don't know!! Being a teen of the 70s music was the most incredible experience of my life!! So funky and soulful!!
I heard that.....Musically, we were so spoiled for choice..
Congratulations Jamel, you just found one of greatest lost tracks of the 70s. Absolutely love this tune...
It was never lost
Yup it’s the DOC , ITS FUNKY ENOUGH-“!!! He was gonna be one of the best ever! Ol boy going bananas on that bass line!!!

....Were The Sylvers better than The Jacksons? Watch this before you decide (Before Boogie Fever) ua-cam.com/video/uE1O2r8vFC4/v-deo.html
This is an all time classic. His sisters singing the background vocals were only 12 & 13 years old. They have some powerful voices to be so young. 🎶

Back in my days, we were just happy to see folks that look like us...the Jackson’s, the Sylvers, Sly and the Family Stone, EWF and Emotions, LaBelle
The moment Jamel caught that beat....love it💛💛💛
Angie was in one of my classes in school, their family lived down at the bottom of the hill from me.

Dre took so many of his beats from cool 70's/early 80s artists. I loved that D.O.C. song Funky Enough. That beat is awesome.
Omg - I saw the title quick and thought it was The Stylistics. Sylvers are legit. Don't sleep on the Stylistics though!
May I suggest their song “Wish That I Could Talk To You”? There’s a Soul Train performance here on UA-cam. Really good song!
The Sylvers came out so long ago that I still have a 8 track tape of them! Keep up the good music Jamel ! How about The Baby’s; Everytime I Think of You from the Midnight Special.
Dr. Dre sampled this for the D.O.C. On "Lets Get It Funky" 1989
Awesome song. I was grade school when this song came out. In early 70s. I still listen to on to UA-cam. The Sylvers was hot in late 70s.
"its funky enough" the DOC
This song was never played on the radio station back home. I first heard on CD. Last I heard, Foster still sports a big-ass Afro.
1:26-that’s Foster Sylvers
8:12-it was the DOC who sampled this song. And I heard the DOC version before I heard Foster's song.
Brother I grew up listening to the Sylver's. Foster Sylver is the second youngest of the family.
Awesome song by Foster Sylvers. The whole Sylvers family always made great music.

Wooooooow brought back GREAT MEMORIES AND GREAT FEELINGS
That was sampled by DOC "Funky Enough" The Sylvers were like following a trend set by the Jackson 5 for family groups. The Osmond's were also a family group led by Donnie
All written and arranged & produced by the eldest brother LEON SYLVERS !!! google the rest !!!
Song written by his older brother Leon Sylvers who was also in a group called Dynasty check them out.
This song is SO dope, both the original, AND, how Dre and D.O.C. flipped it.
Foster Sylvers was a naughty boy when he grew up unfortunately.
The Sylvers Documentary is a must
Yes, Dre sampled this for 'Funky Enough' on The D.O.C.'s album. The greatest rap album of all time, imo.
I remember them and their odd dance steps done in unison.. my favorite song by them is High School Dance
The story goes that this song was originally written for one of Foster’s older brothers. But his voice changed so he got tossed aside LOL
Also in 1973 there was a heart-throb group called The DeFranco Family. They were kind of a cross between the early Jackson-5 and the Osmonds (mostly like the Osmonds, haha).

Had the exact same reaction as you when I heard this song for the first time.
Shyne from bad boy also sampled. The song “That’s Gangsta”
What you’re picking up are there producer, Freddy Perren’s, influences. Those Jackson 5 type song structures.
YES. That's Foster. Never heard of the Sylvers? Wow.
😲 wow, this is like an alternate dimension.
