Foster Sylvers "Misdemeanor"

Does anyone remember the Foster Sylvers jam "Misdemeanor." I love that song, I like the rythym and arrangements to it.

Also, why can't I find it on any Best of Sylvers compilations. I know it was Foster solo, but hey, "Got To Be There" is on plenty J5 best offs.

Yeah, it's a great song. And Finess says it was actually credited to both The Sylvers and Foster Sylvers, on two separate single releases. According to allmusic.com, it's available on a 1995 best-of set from The Sylvers.

oops - corrected the link

biggrin I love that Tune!! Written for Foster by older brother Leon F. Sylvers, III, who, after the Sylvers, became part of the group Dynasty, and was also one of Solar Records' hit-writers and producers...


Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Pick up on the fact

(Take in stride) Love and devotion
(Don’t confide) In the tracks of lost emotions
(Let it glide) It’s gonna subside, she stole my heart

But it’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start

(What you gonna do) When I think I’m in love
And I catch my girl doin’ me wrong
(Too bad ) It’s just enough to set it back in the start
Like when you get your first ticket for illegal parking

(But don’t you know) It’s no big deal
(Take it slow) She’s not for real
(Let it go) But you know until she stole my heart

But it’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Pick up on the fact

(Take in stride) Love and devotion
(Don’t confide) In the tracks of lost emotions
(Let it glide) It’s going to subside, she stole my heart

But it’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start

(What you gonna do) Well, I can’t let her go
And my friends all tell me when I’m playin’ the fool
(Too bad) She makes me feel so out of place
Like when you run a red light and find yourself pullin’ over

(But don’t you know) It’s no big deal
(Take it slow) She’s not for real
(Let it go) But you know until she stole my heart

But it’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start
You’re what I need

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Oh, she stole his heart

It’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start
You’re what I need

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Oh, she stole his heart

It’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start
You’re what I need

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Oh, she stole his heart

It’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start
You got to get over it

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back
Oh, she stole his heart

It’s just a misdemeanor
(You got to get over it)
Oh, he loved her from the start
You’re what I need

Love tracks, set backs
All can come back...
