Is it just me, or did performers seem much classier back at this time? They had amazing dance moves and made everything look so easy after actually practicing for several hours a day. This was really nice to watch. Thank you for sharing it.
@@au7-721 I agree. They leave little to the imagination and their language is horrible. There are still good entertainers who have class and grace, but they are few and far between.
Strongly disagree. I like the Sylvers aw S much as anyone who hit my teens when this was a hit, but the dance moves are pretty basic, nothing I couldn't learn in half an hour, and while I love to dance and have rhythm, I'm an amateur. BTS is easily ahead of them in terms of practice and smoothness. I'm sure Lil Nas X makes y'all clutch your pearls, but his dancers are absolutely amazing. As for classy, this was fashion at the time, a 1920s revival with some glam rock influence and some Black is Beautiful vibes. Plenty of classy performers in the charts right now, as I wrote this, Adele is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, she's not exactly known for profanity and leaving nothing to the imagination. People at the time were as freaked about afros as current oldsters now are about man-buns. Everyone needs to be happy that they can stay in the past of they want to, but when you say how there are no classy performers who practice now, you just show yourself to be out of touch. Good music lasts, a look at any weeks' pop charts will show some stuff that thankfully disappeared. People want to remember the 1970's for fun stuff like this, but Disco Duck was also an international hit that year, as was Shake, Shake, Shake Your Booty, Muskrat Love and Rod Stewart seducing a "virgin child" in Tonight's the Night.
That's my brother, Rick Fleishman, screen left, on guitar. This performance was one of the highlights of his life. Rick passed away from a brain tumor on Christmas Eve, 2015.
Not live. Watch the drummer. The reason the audience isn't moving is because artists perform the song a number times. Audiences are just tired of the same song performed over and over.
Oh,my goodness THEY WERE INCREDIBLE! I'm witnessing powerhouse voices(check), moves/energy(check), style(check), naturally great looks(check). Everybody was getting it all at once...all 8 of 'em! Unbelievable. They deserved so much more than what they got/get from the business. As a group THEY DON'T COMPARE TO ANY period.
Yep, Edmund had that cap in his teeth around the time of Boogie Fever but the gap was fixed somewhere around the time of Hotline. Gap or no gap, he was a handsome young man.😀
Public schools need to stop their ridiculous racist policies first. Many schools, especially in the South, have "outlawed" natural hairstyles for black students because they consider them "distracting". The cute guy that sat behind me in Math class could have doubled as a shade tree (lol). He was an honor student and star athlete, and very popular. We called him "Cubbie", but the rest of the world knows him as Everson Walls... Hall of Famer and Dallas Cowboy legend! I don't think his hairstyle held him back at all!

@Ironmonkey103 Good point! I used to date a guy who is 6'7" and with heels, I was 6'2". We always sat on the back row at theaters because we could hear everyone around us saying, "Damn, please don't sit in front of us!" We went to a dinner theater once to see Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow in a play, both are rather short. We got autographs after the show, and Tony Dow cracked us up. He looked us up and down and whistled, then said, "Wow! They told me everything was bigger in Texas! Are you two going to breed a basketball team?" Tony grew to be a very handsome man... then there was Jerry. Um, he seemed nice though!
ANY SYLVERS FAM? You ALL had me dancing around my room as a 14 year old on a FRIDAY NITE! MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL...Any family of the SYLVERS. Gosh you are amazing.
Gone!! Are the days of real dance popular music, of the 70's & 80's. Now some 40s years later.........it's all crappy music "NO" meaningful words of love and rhythm. It had ❤heart & soul to it!!!!
I remember as a pre-teen staying up til MIDNIGHT (actually closer to 1am, because they were the last to perform) to watch this... glued to the television! #greatmemories
No the Sylvers weren't cutouts, they learned harmony, several instruments and stage perfections in the 1950s. There's footage of them as children (Groucho Marxx introduced them on his show). Their Mom studied music and their Father taught them to harmonize! They are talented, with one brother being a renowned songwriter!!
Every time I watch these old performances I think of how crappy today’s music and performances are. This era was simply the best for American music, rock and disco. Really brilliant music and performances. I think the best has already been done and we’re trying to get back there, painfully.
Midnight Special came on at midnight Friday. Wolfman Jack killed it. I played the family TV as loud as I thought I could get away with ..not waking the rest of the family. Very good memories playing all kinds of music.

Amazing talented family 💕🎤🎼 all of them so precious and adorable Omg can the dance THE SYLVERS FAMILY my family loves you all so much including my sister who passed away from cancer!
Look beautiful, sound beautiful, move beautiful; what a treat! It's just too crisp; impeccable, intuitive, natural movement. That's a classic right here.
This is what you call... ARTIST DEVELOPMENT!! You can tell they were rehearsed and took their talent seriously. Just like the Jackson's, and DeBarge...you can't beat the natural talent, especially when they're FAMILY!!
I don't think y'all understand,..but that sh*t was live,.and was perfect while dancing choreography,..and Edmunds didn't miss a freakin' note,...man,...they were the Best family group ever !! Michael J.was the individual best,.but family best belongs to the Sylvers !!
I was 12 when this came out. I remember it was a huge song but I don’t recall much about them afterwards. They didn’t seem to last like The Jackson’s or The Osmond’s or I just didn’t keep up with them. The 70’s & 80’s were fun times for music though. You just needed your 8 track player or later on the cassette tape and life was good. LOL!!!!!
Twyla Merriman this Sylvers group are amazing and The Jackson’s 5, too. But, I really love their afros and I really miss their afros, too. Edmund Sylvers is looking cute but he is handsome and his son Jeremy Sylvers who played on Child Play 3 on that movie but, he got older at that time he started to look like his dad Edmund
Great live performance of this song....Foster Sylvers was so damn cute.....RIP Edmund Sylvers....During a time when anybody that had a Big Afro was considered fine as all get out!!!
Chris and Clarisa, I am going play this Christmas Eve 2019,and my 63 year old Ass is going to catch some Boogie Fever! Merry Christmas to you from Philadelphia, Pa.
I've had "Boogie Fever" for decades now, and as Ms. Ross sang: "If there's a cure for this I don't want it I don't want it no, no I don't want it If there's a cure for this I don't need it..."
Feeling quite deprived that I didn't see this/learn about this until I was 53! I was 7 when this happened and boy did I miss a great one! Thanks for posting.
On this day in 1976 {March 20th} Sylvers performed "Boogie Fever" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'. One month earlier on February 14th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on May 15th it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and it spent 21 weeks on the Top 100. On the same day it reached #1 in America it also reached #1 on the Canadian RPM National Singles chart, and again it was for one week. And on March 6th it also peaked at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart.
That choreography is sooooo amazing! They really got down up there! I cant believe the crowd was just sitting there. How can you just sit there amd stare and something like that and not dance? I would have caught the boogie fever right along with the sylvers!

Wow I love this song too ...but I just saw this mini movie The Sylvers BEFORE Boogie Fever! OMG We Sylvers fans have to share this!! >> ua-cam.com/video/uE1O2r8vFC4/v-deo.html
I want the Sylvers to have a second chance to prove themselves as one of the greatest musical groups of all times. The New Sylvers can emerge victourious and bless the world once again. Go Foster!
Listening to my fave Sylvers song in 2024. Hands up if you're boogie down!
Man, I was such a lucky kid to grow up with all this!!
Ditto😊😊😊😊😊😊
I really miss those days
Yes, we were… these were the best of times❤
When music was still fun and danceable!

Me too!!!
@@aduniubaka5563As do I!!
I told my older grandchildren if we could not go back to the 1970,s they would not want to come back 😊😊😊
Imagine a concert with the Sylvers and the Jacksons together back in the 70's.
OMG that would have been glorious! If I'd seen that, I'd probably STILL be floating in air from happiness
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
the jacksons would try to out do them
Damn Jay, that would be kick-ass!
I owned this single as a kid! But, I’m not sure the Jacksons would share the stage with a group that imitated them. Or maybe they’d be flattered?
LIVE !! Band is polished, choreography is Tight, vocals on point...Damn... Long Live The Sylvers !!!
And a dead boring audience. Why be there if you're going to just sit like the music isn't kickin?
Not live. Watch the drummer. The reason the audience isn't moving is because artists perform the song a number times. Audiences are just tired of the same song performed over and over.
Oh,my goodness THEY WERE INCREDIBLE! I'm witnessing powerhouse voices(check), moves/energy(check), style(check), naturally great looks(check). Everybody was getting it all at once...all 8 of 'em! Unbelievable. They deserved so much more than what they got/get from the business. As a group THEY DON'T COMPARE TO ANY period.
Period.
Word
I totally agree with you plus they all ended the performance on point perfectly.👏👍
Classier and actually talented. Much better songs and music as well. Most of the “music” now is terrible.
That choreography was tight af.
I was just saying that while watching this like this is what talent is!!! What is out now is awful AF.
Yep
Really tight.
Its all8
Olympia and her head movement at the end. 😂 🔥
The gap in his teeth, the fabulous fro, the svelte body, the smooth voice...Rest in power Edmond🎉
A yo dats rill
@@shadyganley8877 go somewhere else
Yep, Edmund had that cap in his teeth around the time of Boogie Fever but the gap was fixed somewhere around the time of Hotline. Gap or no gap, he was a handsome young man.😀

It's there every now and then
My mom would wake me up at midnight to watch the Midnight Special every Saturday. I'd grow up to be a funky disco punk rock goddess!
What an awesome mom!
My brother did me.
what a blessing of music lessons!
This was done live and no lip sync. These kids had real talent
How is it even POSSIBLE they were that good live?? Amazing.
My grand daughter danced to this in one of her dance recitals…. I was so proud, and happy that she loved the song…. She’s a 70’s music fan.
Huge afros rock. What a great era.
They had the Hippie look with those afros.
Au Naturale!!!.. Magnifique! 💞
I grew up down the street from them. In the Nickerson Gardens housing projects
On 114 th street and Success street. But my fro wouldn't grow. lol
@Michael Lantz I know you commented 2yrs ago but.... ain’t nothing hippie about an afro!!!
Huge afros looks silly on those guys though
Their fros were awesome!
ANY SYLVERS FAM? You ALL had me dancing around my room as a 14 year old on a FRIDAY NITE! MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL...Any family of the SYLVERS. Gosh you are amazing.
I wonder what happened to them. There songs were exciting & yes their dance moves were WOW 💃🏻 💙 Happy memories of my teenage years 😍
What a beautiful looking family and they still can siiiiiiiiiiiiiig.RIP Edmund.
I didn't know they were a family. Off to wiki I go...
Watch them as a kid .. bring back so much memories..

Makes me wish I had gone out with him when he begged for years. He was a really nice guy. Rip Edmund Sylvers💔

I agree that classic music is the 💣, but there are some good songs today. Not all are 💩. ☮️❤️🎶
Your quotes on the word "no" make no sense--unless you're trying to show that it actually means "yes."
@@mikegarippo7815 the person wanted the (NO) to stand out lol 👍☮️

That's right,me too grew up in Cali!✌️
What parenting you had, I was never allowed stay up that late.
Where I lived it starred at midnight
@@safffff1000what terrible parenting you had. I was raised to mind my own business... Stfu
Professionalism and talent at its best !!!
This has got to be one of the cleanest, most perfect performances ever!! Love it!! ❤
Right, before half naked twerking
😂😂 nope no twerking back then@@josephrochefort9989

Absolutely so glad I was there!!
That's what old people said about rock & roll in 60s. In 2050, people will talk about how much better music was in the 2020s.
Most of the music they have out now os shit , I can't even stand watching the music awards shows. Such ridiculous shit on there
Lordy, those fros ain't no joke!
The Hippie Era was coming to an end.Black people were shaving off their Afros at the time.
I made a blunder.I just fixed it.Thanks for correcting me.
Jeff Cobb, yea Jeff those were some great afros back in the days.
Lol I'm about to bring them back, I have wanted to have one all of my life
I wish that style would come back
My very first concert was The Sylvers in 1977. They were awesome!

Amazing talented family 💕🎤🎼 all of them so precious and adorable Omg can the dance THE SYLVERS FAMILY my family loves you all so much including my sister who passed away from cancer!
This song is so addictive! Wonderful performance, great group.
I love the Black pride and the Big Afros! I was in my 20's in the 70's. My favorite music was funk.
The GREATEST Live Performances were on the Midnight Special!! This is just Amazing!!
Plus this year 2024 Rose Parade theme for this song is amazing and thank you Silver's family is just so very much cool 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
The men's hair is styled to absolute fluffy rounded perfection.
Music that makes me happy even now.
Back then, it was pure talent!
I'm a metal head but I remember the 70's, Kiss was my band, remember this tune, first time I saw this video I was blown away- right on Sylvers!
It's time for the sylvers family to have a family show on Bravo.
Look beautiful, sound beautiful, move beautiful; what a treat!
It's just too crisp; impeccable, intuitive, natural movement. That's a classic right here.
One of the BEST songs, group, performances ❤
One of my favorite songs❤❤❤
Beautiful people!
Man oh man I remember my high school years back in the 80s. 85 graduate
They were so polished! And the sound was amazing. Angie went to my high school for a bit.
Look at the dance moves, everybody in sync
This is what you call... ARTIST DEVELOPMENT!!
You can tell they were rehearsed and took their talent seriously.
Just like the Jackson's, and DeBarge...you can't beat the natural talent, especially when they're FAMILY!!
It got me up and dancing in the living room just out of nowhere
❤❤❤🎉😊😅I was 5 Years Old when I was listening 👂 to this song 🎶 on the Am Dial of My Fathers & Mothers Cars!
I got the Boogie Fever!!!!!! 65 yrs old this year!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of when live performances actually sounded like the record.
I thought I had contracted the Coronavirus. Test results determined I have an acute case of the highly contagious Boogie Fever.
😂😂😂
Yes I heard it is very "catchy"
😂 Still no vaccine!
LMAO
Too funny!
I don't think y'all understand,..but that sh*t was live,.and was perfect while dancing choreography,..and Edmunds didn't miss a freakin' note,...man,...they were the Best family group ever !! Michael J.was the individual best,.but family best belongs to the Sylvers !!
J5...the best!!
SilkySlim Thank You. Schooled.
I'm gonna have to agree with you on every point there!! That sh*t was dope
They had The J5 to study from and emphasized on it even more which made them great as a fam.....overall The Silvers were on point!
And Debarge
This was one of my favorite songs when I was growing up
I was 16 years old in 1976 when this song was released.
That is one great big, beautiful, talented family.
I was 12 when this came out. I remember it was a huge song but I don’t recall much about them afterwards. They didn’t seem to last like The Jackson’s or The Osmond’s or I just didn’t keep up with them. The 70’s & 80’s were fun times for music though. You just needed your 8 track player or later on the cassette tape and life was good. LOL!!!!!
STILL LOVE THE SYLVERS AND BOOGIE FEVER, AND STILL DANCE TO IT AT 82 YEARS OF AGE IN 2O24!
Stage Presence, Voices, Band....I always loved the Sylvers
I was in 11th grade still remember seeing this episode of midnight special one of my fave songs still I'm 56 now but still dance when this song plays
Love an act that really makes an effort!
Exactly.
not just an all out 70s classic but one hell of a guitar sound 🎸🎶
Still love this song in 2019
Twyla Merriman this Sylvers group are amazing and The Jackson’s 5, too. But, I really love their afros and I really miss their afros, too. Edmund Sylvers is looking cute but he is handsome and his son Jeremy Sylvers who played on Child Play 3 on that movie but, he got older at that time he started to look like his dad Edmund

"If there's a cure for this
I don't want it
I don't want it no, no
I don't want it
If there's a cure for this
I don't need it..."
I remember this performance!! They were jamming the choreography is on point!!
This brings back sooo many memories. This is when you actually had to have talent. Amazing live performance.
Now it's just all crap and "NO" meaning to it!!!
Great group. Under rated. Love all their music. Hopefully life has been good for them.
HAD SO MANY POSTERS AND MAGAZINES WITH THE SYLVERS J5 QUEEN PRINCE THE JACKSONS J5 😁I WATCHED THIS SHOW RELIGIOUSLY GROWING UP AHHH THE GOOD OLD DAYS🤗
Feeling quite deprived that I didn't see this/learn about this until I was 53! I was 7 when this happened and boy did I miss a great one! Thanks for posting.
brings back so many memories...wish I was still back in the day.
This was one of my favorite groups. This was the feel good music from back in the day. I miss Wolf man Jack.
They sound just as good live not easy to do with most heavily produced disco
Perfect rhythm , afros, and singers!!!
this group great talent good memories af 70's🙏👍💚
RIP Edmund & Sylvers were so underrated!! Foster was rocking!
Classy, talented and real. Great times. 💃🪩🕺

Omg I remember these guys! Awesome!
Wow! Brings back great memories for sure! I saw this first run and it's just as great today. The Sylvers were amongst the very best. TONS of talent!
Wish I was ten again. That brought back alot of childhood memories. What a dead audience.
That choreography is sooooo amazing! They really got down up there! I cant believe the crowd was just sitting there. How can you just sit there amd stare and something like that and not dance? I would have caught the boogie fever right along with the sylvers!

Wow I love this song too ...but I just saw this mini movie The Sylvers BEFORE Boogie Fever! OMG We Sylvers fans have to share this!! >> ua-cam.com/video/uE1O2r8vFC4/v-deo.html
I want the Sylvers to have a second chance to prove themselves as one of the greatest musical groups of all times. The New Sylvers can emerge victourious and bless the world once again. Go Foster!
This brings back fond memories.
Impossible to stand still, after all these years. Great vocals and one of the best danceable songs, imo.
