Wow...That's pretty sad... :( I'm sorry to hear the news...The Sylvers were one of the last of the clean cut family acts of the 70's...I used to love to watch them in their matching jump suits and those "HUGE" afros... :lol: If I remember correctly, Foster Sylver was the little guy, right? I remember at dances when the first opening notes of Boogie Fever was heard, we'd literally "run" to the dancefloor! :D And "Hotline"...Wow..."Number, please"...That takes me back a while...The Sylvers were a class act of kids just having a lot of fun!!! They were absolutely "infectious"!! I'll remember them fondly...Take Care....Mario
