The Sylvers - "Forever Yours"

[@grownunicorn637]

NO INSTRUMENTS! ONLY VOICES! Pure TALENT!

[@cinnamonspice4389]

From the Little Angels 👼 to the Sylvers. The Sylvers deserves a star 💫 on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, now is the time .

[@kantricedorsey8142]

They still have that beautiful harmony, and Olympia's daughter singing the lead is just as gifted!

[@pierrelabriel9223]

Tyava killed it!! But that family harmony is just magical!!

[@ShangoJamal]

They sound IN-FREAKIN-CREDIBLE!!!!!! God Bless Them. The niece is a pefect addition to the group. No Pro-Tools, No Auto-Tune. Just pure soul and amazing harmony.

[@ericbrown1988]

You can't compete with that... Harmony @ it's finest

[@OhNoKRJKC]

I can't even count the number of times I've come back to listen💕

[@treyvonlegette3914]

I haven't heard another group in such unison! I've been Discovering different music from before my generation #90sbaby lol but I'm in AWE! Love Music and this is a 💎 to save

[@truthserum4886]

In actual tears. The pain and beauty behind their voices 🥺

[@cylonraider4]

Breathtaking harmony.........This is so hauntingly beautiful!.......Just listening to it brought tears to my eyes and I'm a grown ass man of fifty!....This is how Angels in Heaven probably sound!

[@garynembhard7433]

Remember, they recorded this song with 10 pieces. This was light work! They still got it.

[@tjae1699]

Olympia's daughter can blow too omg! They sounds wonderful

[@princesspoetess775]

T Jae I knew that was her daughter she has olympias voice 😍😍😍

[@cilla-themusiclover]

@Anthony Lynch what's that got to do with this video. IF NOT for the Jackson 5 , non of these family groups would have gotten the attention the got at the time. 1970's. STOP trying to tear down the achievments of the ones that came first.

[@carlosarturo4816]

She's got it honest. Isn't her daddy Stuart Bascombe from Black Ivory? (Side note: I've heard Charmaine's daughter sing, and she can blow as well. Sings harmony like she came out the womb doing it. Can't recall her name off top, but I follow her on IG.)

[@nicolekenna7822]

Beautiful voices ! I wished more of our young singers were like this!

[@tonybarber3535]

the greatest harmonizers of all times

[@tresvontedwards6805]

Nice & smooth I like that.

[@tonybarber3535]

tight harmony by this family ... groups today are lacking this type real vocal ability they rely on auto tune and they all sound like crap the Sylvers set the standard for what a singing is suppose to sound like They didn't have to hide behind the music that's why I consider them to be the greatest harmonizers of all times

[@Penrose-wi6tx]

[@FunkyBruja]

The TRUTH

[@tonibroussard8452]

@@tonybarber3535 agree

[@jerrywashington8788]

The Sylvers were a group of young people who had to sing their way to success because their father abandoned them,and it left them one or two choices, create music or die in the ghetto. Thank GOD they chose to create the soulful music that moves me to this day. Catch them on tv one's unsung.Forever yours!

[@branbranshenanigans1693]

Wow that harmony is solid ❤️

[@stephaniewalls2382]

The complex harmony.... leaves one simply stricken with awe.😮 Amazing.

[@lepoetress]

Stephanie Walls Makes me LOVE them that much more!!

[@tyava]

Thank you all for the love and support!

[@lepoetress]

Tyava Winborne God bless you and your family.

[@dandresingleton6621]

Wow yall reminds me of how my family used to be god bless yall

[@michaelbonner1413]

This rendition is so awesome 👏🏾. Great harmony and lead vocals

[@aceage20]

Love this version. Cant stop listening to this and you have a wonderful voice. 👍🏾🙏🏿❤

[@dmann3g]

The harmony is so much that I can't even catch the parts..too many of them..and that's a compliment to the Sylvers

[@cyaaa8516]

Chills still in 2020 ... Tyava, Olympia's daughter, singing lead is awesome ... talent runs hella deep in this family. Blessings in the 2020 to The Sylvers.

[@lordcron]

I wonder if they know just how loved they are? The problem with some groups is that they go away because they think no one cares what kind of music they put out anymore and it's not true! This family is soooo loved in my home it not even funny! As you can see, True talent is can't stay down. It'll always surface when it's called upon. I just hope they know that the love we feel for them is as much now as it was when they came on the seen in the 70's. We love you Sylvers!

[@moskav4918]

Beautiful!!! That brought tears in my heart and in my eyes! You all were my favorite family group. Always a fan, Forever yours!

[@katherinedorsey3426]

Their harmonies can’t be cut with a knife 🔪!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ms.courtneyw4312]

I can listen to them all day 🥰

[@cherylmullins2030]

wow what a dynamic group. They can sing fast uptempo and slow ballads. Everybody in the family were good looking and had talent, Afros were big and nice. I love Wish that I could talk to u baby & Boogie Fever and Mismeandor were my favorites

[@blaxican44]

Wow.... I am at a loss for words to describe how beautiful they sound together... I haven't heard harmony like this since Boyz II Men or Shai. I'm an 80's baby all day, but after watching the "Unsung" about The Sylvers on TV One today I have a new respect for 70's music.

[@anttemo41]

Man, i can listen to their acapella all day! When i first heard it on Unsung, i was like, they can put that out as a single itself on radio and it would sell, especially for get togethers, holiday barbecues, and weddings! In fact, im playing it at the Memorial Day cookout tomorrow, so thank you Sylvers family for this wonderful gift and i hope you get another chance to shine again

[@madlargetrks]

Listen too that harmony, you can't deny the sylvers ever

[@Ron87753]

The Sylvers are classic!!! And Olympia's Daughter is beautiful like her Mom and Aunts.

[@ritanemons9296]

Their harmonies and melodies cannot be compared. They were born to sing and their mother and father recognized their talent, nurtured and encouraged them. And behold, you have the Fabulous Sylvers!!!! PS. I love the way they stick together as a family

[@jerbojones]

That's some tight harmonies there! Real music lovers are starving for real talent like this. They still got it!

[@marctipp]

I love every note of this song and the Sylvers are that work! Classic! 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@jarmelo2006]

I don't know them well.But I love the Sylvers. I wish I could have the pleasure of meeting them.... ❤️

[@able76]

I'm ashamed to say that I just discovered the Sylvers and I'm beyond impressed with their harmony. I'm a new fan and would like to see them in person. I would also like for them to link up with some of my favorite producers like: Al B Sure, Brian Morgan, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, LA and Babyface, Teddy Riley and Full Force to make some great music. A collaboration with Take 6 would be great as well. For them to reemerge with an R&b flow (in my opinion) is much needed. Bring back old school R&b!!!

[@dwaysmi]

I am a BIG FAN of The Sylvers!! I was born in the 1960's and part of the 1970's music.I wish The Sylvers could Rerelase"Fool's Paradise" and go on tour to sing all of they're greatest hits...I would be there for that!! Oh, by the way, "Forever Yours" is my favorite songs you sang it so beautiful!!!

[@karimbennett5651]

If this is what they sound like today, they can surely make a comeback. This is flawless here.

[@ebradford7674]

No one made a sound until they were finished singing. They had everyone's UNDIVIDED attention. Man that harmony was SICK! My only wish is that they could've performed "P.S. (The Unfinished Letter)" acapella.Thank to God for this mega talented family!

[@danasmith667]

Discovering you over and over. ❤ Blessings, family. 🙏🏽

[@slotwhiz1]

I love The Sylvers now like I did when I was young. This is real harmony. You were ahead of your time.

[@TheBerkeleyBeauty]

Others than the laughter of my children, this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my life

[@DavisNetPromos5550]

Found this on The Sylvers. Looks like a few things Unsung didn't coverkzbin.info/www/bejne/q3aUgGWobdt5eZY

[@jessicaa8043]

The niece singing continued the family tradition. Her voice is flawless, is on point, and she has a good range. That’s when you know people can sing when they harmonize well with no other music in the background.

[@WhoseIAm7]

Agreed.

[@MamaNuveau]

"Wow!" is right! You just get lost in a daydream watching and hearing them sing it now. What melodic bliss! What a family. What a legend. What a treat it is to watch this. It's a beautiful song and a beautiful tribute to Edmond when they still do the song with the same amount of class and finesse. All I can say is, how blessed WE are to have been touched over the years and still today by this talented family. God gave them gifts and I'm sure that they have made Him very proud by singing for us.

[@byronls1]

God they can sing and that harmonizing is on point. Make another album.

[@HoSoandDivine]

Without a doubt, The Sylvers are the greatest family act in music history...no one can touch their harmonies...to this very day.

[@eddiebradford1951]

Much of the crap that they call music nowadays couldn't hold a candle to this performance. I wish The Sylvers would go back in the studio and do an acapella album with this and other songs such as "That's What Love Is Made Of", "Even This Shall Pass Away" "Lovin' Me Back" etc. I'm quite sure that they will sound a little different but if they have that helluva spin like they put on "Forever Yours" then bring it!! This performance put them in a whole other class by themselves! Nothing short of perfection!

[@theresadyer9856]

AMEN ❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TheDizfunkshunal1]

I grew up listening to the Silvers and I had an opportunity to meet Leon while a music education major at Norfolk State University. They still sound as good as the first time I heard them sing.

[@MaryKBella]

I could listen to this all day!! Ugh!!!!! xoxoxoxox

[@theresadyer9856]

My too

[@ajablue651]

Their father taught them 4 part harmony when they were kids; Olympia was 7 and her siblings at the time were 6,5,4,3,1 and #7 was on the way. ( I saw it on " You Bet Your Life" ) Gifted and they Love The Lord Jesus Christ just as I do. 🙏🏾🖤

[@harrietthornton5328]

Watching this in 2021. Brings back great memories. So beautiful. Thanks For sharing your gifts.

[@jacbro33]

I so agree with you . He lead his sisters and brother to stardom even when they turn their backs on him he still looked out for them....... Beautiful. I am a new fan of the Sylvers music. I am blown away that they were able to create such beautiful at such young ages.... They shouldve been celebrated. But instead they slipped into obscurity... I hope that one day this beautiful will get their due. they more than deserve it. RIP Edmund Theodore Sylvers.....your talents are surely missed.

[@crystalvspivey-briggs7959]

I am blown away! It takes a lot to blow me away! Song🕊🎶

[@vashottest]

I am a 27 year old church boy in Virginia, and I admit I had never heard of The Sylvers until Unsung. The songs are AMAZING and seeing this just captivated me. They sound just as good if not better now than they did 40 years ago. I would love to hear new music from them, especially if it's like this. I love the complex harmonies, and ugh....I'm just in heaven listening to this. And when I played it for my dad, he looked at me like I was crazy, because I'd never heard of them.

[@earlparker1143]

Daaaaaamn 🙏🏽

[@FUNKYWALT2]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME,CHILLS ME HEARING THIS SONG,JUST LISTEN TO THIS HARMOMY......LAWD

[@kirrkay]

Simply beautiful. Love from Memphis 💙

[@MarchellT]

Thankful to TVOne for doing Unsung on the Sylvers. Love this family. The family still sound as beautiful as they did back in the day. I agree with WayneinSF, Tyava vocals are so beautiful and her uncle Edmund would be so proud. "Forever" Sylvers. God blessed them.

[@makoh312]

The Sylvers, and the groups I listened to growing up are the reason I can harmonize and why I've always appreciated good harmony. The Sylvers, to me, were always under-rated and under appreciated. As evidenced by this video, they can STILL blow and it didn't matter which siblings sang together. All of them could SING!

[@demetraingram7521]

I was a big fan of the Sylvers too. Their harmony is still beautiful. It's so sad that Edmund transitioned in 2004.

[@ToLovelyJesus]

Thank you for posting!! This is one of my favorite songs!!

[@85Monnie]

Their harmonizing is unreal!!!! They sound magnificent!!

[@blessedladyofyah4335]

They just recently showed the Unsung episode again, a few days ago. i missed the first time it aired in 2011, they sure did go through a lot so sad what happened to Olympia. one day through God she will get her justice.

[@anttemo41]

God Will make sure she will get it. But for now, it sounds like she's singing to Heaven

[@lakenyamichelle75]

Never heard this song before until I saw them on Unsung. Their harmony is so TIGHT!!!!!!!

[@SupremeNerd]

Sorry I had to watch it a 3rd time. Damn, I tried to hold it back but that was so beautiful I did cry. I cried like I lost my child. Ridiculously beautiful performance. I am so sorry that The Sylvers didnt get as much recognition as the Jacksons because it was well deserved. Much love and respect to you all.

[@jarmelo2006]

These peoples harmony and creativity is like none I have ever heard. They are true artist and I can't wait to see them perform again.

[@TruckJulius]

This is beautiful 🤩

[@SupremeNerd]

That was so dope I had to listen to it again. I bet Edmund is in heaven turning backflips right now. Olan's daughter really did this song justice. and her Uncles and aunties still sound damn good. mama Sylvers still got it too. God Bless Olan, Foster, Edmund and the rest of the Sylvers family

[@TheStarGardian]

Part 1) As a music writer and musician... and someone who was blessed to have spent some wonderful times with this incredible family. I want to thank you for the kind words that everyone left regarding the Sylvers... I feel... that through their music we have all been bless. So in the spirit of goodness. I will share a small story with you because I feel it may warm your hearts.. as it warms my heart every time I think of them. It was a very, very warm Christmas eve in the 70s...

[@PearsonJd2]

That was absolutely beautiful. Much respect to the entire Sylvers family. The legacy remains strong. Like many I've enjoyed their gifts for years and hope they will bless us once more soon with new music. Man those harmonys. R.I.P Mother Sylvers and Edmund and Chris.

[@allenlevelle]

This is harmony!!!! I would rather listen to this version!!!!!

[@jhaychylla]

THAT was amazing! I remember hearing that song on the radio when I was getting into my teen yrs. It's a beautifully harmonic romantic song that I consider an all time classic. You should see the Sylvers singing 4part harmony when they were just past toddlers on the Groucho Marx show: You Bet Your Life. You'll see their mom credit their dad for teaching them to sing.

[@MrCcoolg]

MY GOD!!! Even though I saw that episode, this sounds BETTER than the original! Tyava, baby girl, you definitely have the Sylvers musical genes. To the family: if you ever see this post, know that your fans old & new love your dedication to your craft and wish that you would honor us with ONE MORE album (CD). It could be some a capella work as well as several new songs. You folks are the GREATEST natural harmonizers on the planet & we old schoolers miss y'all very much. Thanks Marvis for sharing this with us. My condolences on your losses but know that even though the industry didn't appreciate you, we STILL do. Oh and the title for the album could be: The Sylvers - The Return... Did you Miss Us?"

[@stephaniewalls2382]

+Geoffrey I concur.

[@lepoetress]

Geoffrey White I second that concurrence.

[@Achoti7]

[@CHEEKBEATAH]

Baby… these harmonies… WHEW… they got it on lock. ALWAYS HAVE. Hands down The Sylvers are a better group. MJ as a singer cannot be touched and is in a class unto himself, BUT as a group nothing comes close to the harmonies by this group that are so sweet you’re transported to paradise the second you hear them. 💯

[@robertatkinson7258]

Wow!! STILL truly amazing. Superb lead vocal and awesome harmonies!! Bought all of their recordings back in the day, and they will always be treasured and special to me. Love you, Sylvers, FOREVER!!

[@melliemel32]

This was so beautiful!! I remember seeing this on Unsung! Their life was so tumultuous and I hate they lost the siblings they did. I pray they are blessed and are all just living for the Lord. God bless them! Amazing gift!!!

[@mikes7292]

Truly amazing sound

[@fretdoctor7]

WOW!!! What a beautiful performance! Something Special was the very first cassette that I received. It was my Christmas present in 70's. Today's music business NEEDS THE SYLVERS...I need the Sylvers! Great to see the family together. I pray that Ricky and Foster are well and ready to do it the right way. Edmund is truly missed, but as long as you guys go on, he will be right there in spirit. Again...GREAT JOB!!!

[@TyStephens]

NOBODY beats the Sylvers in tight and intricate harmonies, and for their age group when they did this you have to realize how phenomenal these kids had to be, and their mother leading the way! They did stuff the Carpenters could only achieve in the studio with massive overdubbing! They will ALWAYS be my favorite family group, along with The Emotions *(oooh, what a tour that would have been!!), and The Carpenters !! I sure hope there will be more recordings, even if there is no tour! PLEASE?!! I'm in!

[@wingchundragon]

Wow!!!! They still sound amazing. This was truly Unsung s BEST episode by far! To show Olympia at the end and this scene, almost brought tears to my eyes. I have to say as far as singing, they were alot better than my beloved Jackson 5.

[@RememberTheTime09]

@MsTexas73 Me too. When this performance closed Unsung...it made me cry. This song always makes me think of Edmund who co-wrote this w/ Leon and did an amazing job on the vocals. After everything they still have that amazing harmony! They've given us great music together and apart...but together they are MAGIC. BTW,Olympia's daughter can sang and she seems really sweet. I wish them all the best!

[@WayneInSF]

Tyava! Your vocals are so beautiful on this classic. I bet your Uncle Edmund would be so proud.

[@thomasgorham8413]

LOVE this group. I listen to this version of the song everyday and am blown away by the harmonies!!! I would give anything to hear this released today. LEON YOU NEED TO COME SCHOOL THESE NEW CATS!!!!!!!!

[@collettejackson1870]

Wow! Their harmony is timeless!!

[@bone_thuggz6969]

It looks like Pat May having been crying at the end. It must have felt special to see her niece step up and take the lead in that song. The blessings continue !! Love the Sylvers !!

[@nicolekenna7822]

I absolutely love the Sylvers!!

[@vedarenea]

Their harmonies are silky smooth til' this day!!!!!! Straight from Heaven.

[@dcardwe27]

The Sylvers were so underrated as a group. Great songs with powerful lyrics, intricate harmonies that cant be duplicated and was a pure talent. This is simply beautiful. A 7 part harmony is perfect sync is amazing.

[@crystalcrystaly2]

Oh My G.... - I remember this song. I used to sing to Ricky's picture Forever Yours and I was his Storybook Girl. I'm getting teary eyed.
