The Sylvers was a family group. The four eldest siblings called themselves Little Angels in the 1960s. They appeared in several variety shows, charity shows, community events, and other public venues. In 1972 when adding other siblings they became The Sylvers.

By the time “Boogie Fever” was released in 1976 there were eight Sylers in the group. The song ended up on the top of the Cash Box chart for May 2 -8. Then the next week it was #1 on the Billboard chart. The only other song they ever had in the top 10 was “Hot Line” which got up to #5 on the Billboard chart also in 1976.

The group released their last album (their 10th) in 1984 which became a big disappointment. They officially broke up the next year.
