      @kidlitfanful 2 роки тому +20

      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.

      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!

    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!!!!!

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

      I don't want it

    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.

      James "D. Train" Williams was born in Brooklyn and began music at the age of six in church choirs and school. "D. Train" is the nickname he was given when he was young, within his football team, because of the power of his game. In the 1980s, the group released hits such as Keep On and You're the One For Me (1982) or Keep Giving Me Love, Music and Something's on Your Mind (1983)
