She, y'all are talking about the summer in New York City, then you must react to Parliament's "Big Bang Theory" or SOS Band's "Tell Me If You Still Care."
Right. That is Leon Sylvers (of the family band The Sylvers)on bass, who produced and wrote hits for the entire Solar label roster of artists, most notably The Whispers and Shalamar.
Ms Beard was born in Detroit and after working in a band called DeBlanc, she eventually became the lead singer in the group Dynasty - a band put together by music biz exec, Dick Griffey and Leon Sylvers III as a vehicle for the unique dance/disco/soul sound that was the dubbed “Sound Of Los Angeles Records” - Solar! Dynasty were originally conceived as a trio - - Kevin Spencer, Linda Carriere and Nidra Beard. And as a trio, the group’s biggest success was their 1980 Sylvers-produced album, ‘Adventures In The Land Of Music’. (below). The group enjoyed more success when Sylvers himself joined the line up. He also add his brother Foster - thus making Dynasty a quintet. During this period Nidra married Leon Sylvers. They were to divorce a couple of years later. In 1983 Dynasty split up only to reform (again as a trio - William Shelby, Kevin Spencer and Nidra Beard) in 1988. Their 1988 album ‘Right Back Atcha’ yielded a couple of hits but once again the group quickly disbanded. Ms Beard continued as a songwriter - her biggest success being Shalamar’s #1 hit “A Night To Remember.’ Then, three years ago, Dynasty reformed and released the singles ‘Escape’ and “I Can Tell’ both featuring Ms Beard on lead vocals.
Just love when youngins finally hear our music..................
One of my favorite groups. Leon Sylvers wrote the song.
Easily one of my top favourite bands from my teen years. Best memories from a bygone era. Glad to see others showing this band some love.
This was jam back in the day.
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Leon Sylvers 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Come on Mom. We do not call most black artist bands, but GROUPS. You should know better! You are leading the young astray.
