    You know every time I listen to The sylvers the first thing I do is I will put a thumbs up, then I will look to the right and see how many thumbs are down, and then I wonder what do these people look like putting their thumbs down, I think they're probably jealous or miserable, and ignorant the silvers are one of the together families who stick together that's very rare even in this day and time you don't hardly ever see families together doing things anymore so I think it's very cruel to put a thumbs down on someone who is star status.

    I've been a fan of Leon Sylvers as a producer and songwriter ever since the Solar Stuff in the early 80s. (Shalamar, Whispers, Dynasty etc.)
    But, I actually didn't know he was such a good singer and performer *in his own right* in the 70s.
    Limitless talent!

    What a talented bunch. It’s always bothered me when talent like this doesn’t get the recognition it deserves but “acts” like P. Diddy, for example are hailed as if they are the most talented when they really don’t hold a candle to real talent like this.

      P-Diddy is Garbage. He made it by sampling other people's music. Example Notorious from Duran-Duran and written by Nile Rogers, Every breath you Take by the Police. He's a farce. Sylvers have talent.
