In the period before the storm that came via "Boogie Fever," "Hot Line," "Cotton Candy,"
the Sylvers' first two records dropped on a subsidiary of MGM named Pride. Their third album, however, came out on MGM Records, and contains pleasant examples of the So Cal-based group from Memphis, TN, who initially relocated to Harlem to seek their fortune. This was a parting shot, and record companies are notorious for ignoring final entries by departing artists.
Sylvers III was no exception, and it didn't receive much attention. If afforded some promotion and publicity, "Wish You Were Here (Next to Me)," "I Aim to Please," and "Could Be You" might have made some noise. ~ Andrew Hamilton
