      I wondered the same thing. Their Unsung Story on TVONE just says he started hanging with the wrong crowd and he was gone. Nothing more about him was said after that. I want to believe he was helping their Mom. It was rough for her and those 10 kids. RIP to Mrs Sylvers.

    Those afros were amazing, they look so damn soft like a pillow. I really feel if this group was promoted the right way, they would have been just as big as the Jacksons. They did all this performing and it just didn't work out. Edmund was my favorite hands down. He was just all that! OMG, their parents were really busy, they were door steps in age damn, 18,17, 14, 15, 21, and 19. Oh, my she didn't get to see her feet much! The only rest period was between Edmund and James and Olympia and Leon God bless her. They had to be beautiful babies. RIP Edmund, much love!

      They don't know the trick that we had back in the 70s to get your Afro looking soft and fluffy. You had to braid your hair at night, then the next morning, use the big cake cutter pick to pick it out and use your hand to pat it down to perfect shape. It was work to maintain an Afro, but well worth the outcome

(Where they were from, where they went to college, etc). Oh, n by the way they won $500 on the show. Loved Boogie Fever n Wish That I Could Talk To You, plus the choreography was on point!

      Amazing: When this record was released the US was going through hard economic times: A fabricated oil crisis was strangling the nation, slaughtered dudes were still coming back from Vietnam in body bags, or as broken, dehumanized men, Watergate had further destroyed any remaining trust that the country had in its top leaders after all of the assassinations, cats were robbing, and stealing out there, like today, and we STILL had a monstrous heroin/ methodone plague that had run FOR DECADES, and yet, except for dignified efforts by titans like Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, these incredible ills that had a huge effect on our community didn’t make it into beautiful smash hits like these. Why not ? Maybe folks KNEW that young, highly-impressionable kids were watching, and listening.
      What happened since ?

    This family group was the bomb back then, I was a J5 fan too, but they had NOTHING on the SYLVERS!!! Choreography was 2nd to none. An Edmund was just to cute and looked better the older he got! Sooooooo fine😉, the whole family was attractive. Love this song!!!

      She was the eye opener of the group! Tragically, she went through a horrible situation of being kidnapped, shot up with heroin and suffered many stab wounds! By the grace of the Most High, she is still alive!

LOL...I saw them i concert at the Oakland Coluseum back in the '70s, they had on all white with sequins, and I was hooked...I had to get my Sylvers afro on and I DID!!! All through highschool!! Man - I liked them. They some of the best harmonies going...and even today, no group has harmony as good as they did.
