Sylvers II

A true funk-soul masterpiece. sampled by Madlib, Homeboy Sandman, Ghostface Killah, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, 9th Wonder and more.

The Sylvers were a family from Los Angeles who were very successful during the 70's and into the early 80's, with chart hits - deep into pop-disco territory by then! - including 'Boogie Fever', 'Hot Line' and 'High School Dance'. This is the groups second album, from 1973, and is one of their strongest. Opening with the awesome mid-tempo 'We Can Make It If We Try' the record moves through funk, boogie and deep soul moods, finishing on a hazy, acapella version of The Beatles 'Yesterday'.
