    Happy New Year, big music lover fans! I’m so excited to be back educating and entertaining you all about criminally underrated Black artists!  However this episode is the first to discuss criminally underrated Black groups! To start off, we decided to talk about The Sylvers! A musical family dynasty from Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s. From then on, The Sylvers became one of the most popular family groups in the 70s with hits like Wish That I Could Talk to You, Boogie Fever, Hot Line and many more! Join Kevaun as he discusses their history, personal struggles, and especially their incredible music! The Sylvers, here are your flowers! 💐 From left to right: Edmund, James, Angie, Charmaine, Pat, Ricky, Leon, Olympia, and Foster Sylvers. This episode is dedicated to Edmund Sylvers.
