The Sylvers were an American R&B family vocal group from Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. They recorded the singles "Fool's Paradise", "Boogie Fever", and "Hot Line" during the 1970s. Prior to becoming the Sylvers, the four eldest members (Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, and James) recorded as the Little Angels, appearing on shows including You Bet Your Life and Make Room for Daddy. They opened for acts like Johnny Mathis and Ray Charles. During that time, they released two singles: "Santa Claus Parade" b/w "I'll Be a Little Angel" on Warwick Records and "Says You" b/w "Olympia" on Capitol Records.
