The Sylvers - Sylvers I ****



Prior to having hits like 'Boogie Fever' and 'Hot Line', the Sylvers released their first 3 albums on Pride/MGM Records. In the early 1970s not every family musical act could claim to have the same musicians live as on record. The Sylvers were also able to write strong, original material. Especially Leon.

Their self-titled first album consists of love songs and social commentary with soul and funk. It was produced by Jerry "The Iceman" Butler and Keg Johnson. Alas like their other records on Pride, it's out of print.


Favorite Song: I'm Truly Happy

Least Favorite Song: Chaos

Songs Also Recommended: Wish That I Could Talk to You, Fool's Paradise, How Love Hurts, I'll Never Be Ashamed
