New Edition is the biggest J5 clone I think of, but the slyvers and debarge (later on) were on motown.

"Boogie Fever" and "Hot Line" are their two most well known.

Their name is Sylver, not Slyver, and when were they ever on Motown?

Not to get picky, but wasn't Misdemeanor a solo hit by Foster Sylvers? wink Either way, that cut is funky!
