This is masterpiece. And we mean it. Beautiful, golden-era soul written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by Jerry Butler and Keg Johnson. 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 group’s 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. The Sylvers always provide a goldmine of samples. This album has been flipped by Madlib (for MF DOOM), Homeboy Sandman, 50 Cent, Ghostface Killah, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, David Banner, 9th Wonder and more.
