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.
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.😀
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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!
They have been through a lot, maybe if he was still here, maybe he would of held the family and prevented some of their heartache. He seemed to be a seriously nice guy.
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.
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!!
Lord help mercy me the first time I danced to this song. I was a child the first time my family Noticed I had Beautiful Dance moves into this day. I have beautiful dance Moose A Is blast from the past for me I was just a child
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.
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 !!
Look beautiful, sound beautiful, move beautiful; what a treat! It's just too crisp; impeccable, intuitive, natural movement. That's a classic right here.
Being 54 years old 1967 I promise to God they didn't have to put another God damn record out that record was cold-blooded I think they was before the Jackson 5 I can't remember like I used to but they got the same style as the Jackson 5 baby believe that I know my music got them and I've been in radio 2 goddamn long and I believe if you have a concert with them in the Jackson 5 it's going to be a monster baby believe that but because they sound just alike and they danced like the Jackson 5 you couldn't tell them apart hell no you can't tell him apart hell no they're too close together Sylvers s*** no you can't tell him apart Jackson 5 and them hell no 😎😎😎😎😎😎💃💃💃💃🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️ boogie fever I got the boogie down and around and around 🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸📀📀📀💿
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)
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.
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!!!!!
they performed outdoors at Astroworld in '76 in front of the space needle. my girlfriend worked there and we got to stay after the park closed for another performance for the employees.
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..."
Absolutely loved this song back in '76 - The Sylvers were legends of dance moves way before the Jacksons...they owned this song and the moves that we all tried to copy at the time! Very cool!
The guys were my "hair idols" back in the 70's..LOL I saw them live in Oakland Cal. After that - I had one of the biggest afros in high school. Lol Whats amazing to me is they sound perfect, and their harmonies are excellent - even while doing dance steps. There's no groups or bands out there today that can sound that good live or in studio.
ya'll don't know about that Midnight Special...this was all before videos. If you wanted to see your favorite singers...it was Midnight Special, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, or the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, lol. Good times.
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
I just saw a RUclips video with their parents on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx that brought me here and I I remember the song very well and this group oh that was such a good time for music 70s and 80s we're so good

That ancient Kemetic/Egyptian afro.
Black folks we r truly so talented n fantastic in every way possible.
I’m white and you’re so right!
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!
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?
Now I'm walking around my house singing b b b b b boogie fever baby!!!!
This was done live and no lip sync. These kids had real talent

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."
@@BenRabinowitz-1 the person wanted the (NO) to stand out lol 👍☮️
Agreed! Each song had a story to tell. Happier days.
When music was still fun and danceable!
Right

After 2010 music was trash

BEAUTIFUL Family!❤️❤️❤️
BEAUTIFUL Music!❤️❤️❤️
BEAUTIFUL Memories!❤️❤️❤️
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.
I MISS THE 70'S!
Me too
Im the early 80s baby i wasnt born 70s yet but i learn history
Me too!!!

I wonder what happened to them. There songs were exciting & yes their dance moves were WOW 💃🏻 💙 Happy memories of my teenage years 😍

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.
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
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.

If the best has already been done, it means we are near the end. This applies to everything.........not just music
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
Oh the days of hits from these guys.......made my childhood special.
The baddest ‘fros !!! 😎🪩
Professionalism and talent at its best !!!

How is it even POSSIBLE they were that good live?? Amazing.
Huge afros rock. What a great era.
They had the Hippie look with those afros.

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

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!

It's just too crisp; impeccable, intuitive, natural movement. That's a classic right here.

This was a great era for music. We used to attend the kiddie disco and get down
they performed outdoors at Astroworld in '76 in front of the space needle. my girlfriend worked there and we got to stay after the park closed for another performance for the employees.

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..."
Magnificent. Makes me feel happy...like the 1st coffee of the day😊
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!
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
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!!!
Absolutely loved this song back in '76 - The Sylvers were legends of dance moves way before the Jacksons...they owned this song and the moves that we all tried to copy at the time! Very cool!
No
Lies...
Lies.
They weren't before the Jackson 5
BS
Junior feet moves to the 90s.they are young and talented sweet voices.my heart goes out for u guys keep it up.🎵🎶🥁🎹🎻🎙🎛🎸
I was12years old when this song came out i grew up in the 70s and 80s
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
The men's hair is styled to absolute fluffy rounded perfection.
Braid/plait it, cover it with stockings, then rake it out the next day. That's what my Brother use to do.
Love an act that really makes an effort!
Exactly.
Who remembers skating to this? ✌️🐸🙃🙃
The 70's were so incredible.
That is one great big, beautiful, talented family.
Perfect rhythm , afros, and singers!!!
This was one of my favorite groups. This was the feel good music from back in the day. I miss Wolf man Jack.
Talent!! They sounded so great and loved their moves!!
This was one of my favorite songs when I was growing up
Great group. Under rated. Love all their music. Hopefully life has been good for them.
I remember this performance!! They were jamming the choreography is on point!!
The guys were my "hair idols" back in the 70's..LOL I saw them live in Oakland Cal. After that - I had one of the biggest afros in high school. Lol Whats amazing to me is they sound perfect, and their harmonies are excellent - even while doing dance steps. There's no groups or bands out there today that can sound that good live or in studio.
Calvin Dunn oh they were one of a kind!
The Sylver family members were natural vocalists. Training only honed gifted talent.
Now. .........it's all crappy and "No" meaning too it!!
ya'll don't know about that Midnight Special...this was all before videos. If you wanted to see your favorite singers...it was Midnight Special, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, or the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, lol. Good times.
I got the Boogie Fever!!!!!! 65 yrs old this year!!!!!!!!
SHOW STOPPERS!!! the professionalism, the costumes , dance steps, beautiful family. Classic performance!!!
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

Stage Presence, Voices, Band....I always loved the Sylvers
This live performance sounds better than the record, to me. Love Olympia, btw!😊

They all all so pretty and talented. I hope the family is doing good these days
One of my favorite groups from the 70’s! ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful people!
I just saw a RUclips video with their parents on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx that brought me here and I I remember the song very well and this group oh that was such a good time for music 70s and 80s we're so good
The guys made me really want an Afro back in the day. They were a fav of our group.
Impossible to stand still, after all these years. Great vocals and one of the best danceable songs, imo.
