The Sylvers

The Sylvers were an American soul/disco family group of the 1970s. They are best known for the songs "Boogie Fever", "Hot Line", and "High School Dance".
They were active from 1972 to 1979. Initially, the group consisted of nine siblings: Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, James, Edmund, Ricky, Angie, Pat, and Foster. Foster also had a solo hit in 1973, "Misdemeanor". Edmund provided the voice of Marlon Jackson in Rankin/Bass' animated Jackson 5ive series.
By 1979, Olympia, Leon, and Charmaine had left the group, reducing them to a sextet. 
The siblings performed on many TV shows, including the final broadcast of The Hanna-Barbera Happy Hour on May 11, 1978.
