4.0 out of 5 stars The Sylvers Greatest Hits..., October 3, 2005

This review is from: Boogie Fever: Best of (Audio CD)

I have a sentimental weakness for this group, as they made an impact upon my teenage soul, back in the early through mid 1970's. I play their music, look in the mirror and see what I was, what life was, and life to me was sound. The only reason why I won't give this collection 5 stars is simple. Where's the song "Keep on, Keeping on"? You can't find it anywhere. I can't be the only one waiting on the "Showcase" LP to be released to CD (hopefully re-mastered!). My favorite tunes on this collection are the following:

1. Through the love in my heart (Nice mid paced song!)
2. Fools Paradise (70's pop song with a message)
3. Wish that I could talk to you baby! (Nice pop ballad!)
4. Misdemeanor (Foster's hit - Need I say more!)

If you can get it at a good price, I say, buy it!

While no cds currently exist of an actual Sylvers album (such as "Something Special" from 1976), this Cd is good as it contains the Sylvers tunes that people loved, but cannot find on most such compliations. Namely "Fools Paradise." the lovely 1973 summer hit "Misdemeanor" (credited to brother Foster, hiphop fans will recognize this as the sample for the DOC's "Getting Funky"), and one of their last hits, the wonderful chant "Don't Stop-Get Off", one of those seventies tunes known onkly to us who were there at the time. Most Sylvers cds contain the familiar stuff like "Hot Line, "Boogie Fever," and "Cotton Candy," etc. but this has what is usually left out. Get it while you can!

4.0 out of 5 stars All of the Sylvers Chart Hits, August 25, 2006

Of all the Sylvers compilations released over the last 15 years, this one is definately the best. All but one of the family's chart hits are included in this package (the exception being "Come Back Lover, Come Back" which climbed the Disco Chart back in 1981).

From "Fool's Paradise," their first chart hit in 1972 to "Falling For Your Love," their final chart single in 1985, you won't find a more comprehensive set of Sylvers tunes on CD.

The 'big' hits are included: "Wish I Could Talk To You," "Boogie Fever," "Hot Line," and "Don't Stop, Get Off."

As well as lesser known gems: "Stay Away From Me," "New Horizon," "In One Love and Out the Other."

And solo singles from Foster ("Misdemeanor") and Edmund ("That Burning Love").

Yet I still hope to see a more inclusive "essentials" collection from the family at some point in the future. One that would include most of the titles on this CD AND superb tracks that aren't.

Classic tracks like "Never Be the Same Again," "Keep On Keepin' On (Doin' What You Do)," "Mista Guitar Man," "Swept For You Baby," "Forever Yours," "Mahagony," and "Come Back Lover, Come Back" deserve to be showcased on a Sylvers best of package.

But in the mean time, this CD gives you a good solid Sylvers fix.
