HE'S STILL FINE
HAPPY 47TH BIRTHDAY TODAY FOSTER. STILL LOVE YOU
You cant always believe what you read. Theirs always two sides to every story. And most of the time we always here the worst side only.
As far as Foster being a monster , I know for a fact hes not . He's a great guy. He made a mistake . We all make mistakes , some more worse than another, but as long as we learn , and not make that mistake again. Only God knows his heart. No one has the right to judge another persons heart.We all will be judged at the end of our lifes, and if your not right with God then the sins you have made will be judged the same as Foster will be, so who has the right to say anyone is worse , or better. God uses people in different ways. And God is using Foster in ways we dont understand, only God knows.God bless You Foster.Love you Babe.
It's funny you say that. Will you leave him alone with one of your little siblings? Most of you christians think that molesters are so easily cured from wanting to touch children. Think again. There is not cure for that.
You can't always believe what you read but You can believe the arrest. I was a 14 yr old victim of Foster's back in the 80's, I was sleeping and woke up to being violated, which is exactly what he was arrested for almost 20 years later.
wow this is such a shock to me, i grew up loving foster Sylvers about as much as most people loved Micheal Jackson, even wrote a song for him that i hoped one day i could sing to him....lol. I was also molested by a family member who over the years i have forgiven.
so all i can say is foster make things right with god if you cant make things right with your victem.
and i will always love you.
All of you who keep professing your love for this dude are sick! I'm in disbelief at the person who says that they were molested by a family member yet you can still have love for this creep. I must admit, the song Misdemeanor is still funky as all get out but this dude is nothing more than a pervert. How can anyone have love for someone who victimizes children this way???
Hello, I do not agree with the previous commentator - not so simple
I don't judge anyone, and don't want anyone to judge me. It like evrytime a good person feels victim of a scam, it is always idoits in the world trying to do their best to degrade them. I am pretty sure that Foster and Micheal was not a child molester, but have shown some good qualities abotu themselves that some of you bad commenters hate. For the record I am young and love the Slvers, and wish I had an opportunity to meet all of them including Foster, an Micheal. All I can say Is that these two guys, and thier siblings ha MAD Talent, and will Always love thier beautiful falsetto's and tunes, and style of dance. Like we say in 2010 THey HAD SWAG, and you haters should get some. LOVE YALL SYLVERS, OMG ALL the BRothers WERE SEXY!!! GOD BLESS, and I am very sorry for EDMUND who I am still in love with.
This is for the person who spoke about what most Christians think. Well it is delievrance that is needed when people do such things and I honestly believe that Foster has received deliverance. I heard an interview that Foster did with his sisters and I know that he has changed. He did not mention his mistakes but I could hear the pain in his voice. The way that all of them spoke I could tell that each one of them have grown spiritually. I have to say I am very proud of each one of them. Like some one else said it is not for us to judge, Foster is accountable for his own actions just as each one of us are acctountalbe for our own actions.
Dang, he is still gorgeous! As far as what he allegedly did, it's not for me to judge. God Bless.
I am from Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love). I wish all the best to the entire Sylvers family. I believe Foster has been given an oportunity to give back to society in a special way. I support his community service. We all need to find our niche & give back to society...
Wow yes he is still very attractive. I had the biggest crush on him. But I digress, people make mistakes everyday and they learn from them, and moreover - people can CHANGE! Whatever he did, he is paying for it now. That is between him and his God. Give the man some credit. His whole life and career have been practically lost. Love you cutie. Hang in there!
I agree with some comments above, I have NO judgement on Foster. I can only hope he continues to give his life to God, which I heard he has. Everyone deserves to be forgiven, and yes we do make mistakes in life. The most important thing is that he does not continue in such behavior. Get it together Foster! I am not making light of any victims also, and my heart does go out to them, including the comment above whom said they were 14 years old at the time. God Bless you! I do still love the Sylvers family as a group. They were awesome, and I own a couple cds and 2 albums. The music is timeless! Such a beautiful family. Ok myself, like many others had a HUGE crush on Edmund, and still do. He is and will always be one the most FINE, sexiest men I have EVER seen in my life! What a presence onstage! Whatever happened to black men that look like that!?!? Yes Lawd! Sylvers we love you, God Bless you ALL!!
Just watched Unsung episode featuring The Sylvers and saddened by the horrible things which happened to Olympia Sylvers.
@ Don, I agree totally they really had a rise and quick demise. It is very sad...
While I still like to see his performance on the Soul Train reruns that I watch, I cannot fathom how I could possibly stand to be near Foster Sylvers today. There are a lot of entertainers whose acts are good, but their personalities off-stage are hardly worth tolerating.
Foster is still very handsome, I pray that everything work out for you. And blessings go out to your family also.
do you know him??? would you be this sympathetic if he was the guy down the hall or neighbor across the street?
are you a guy?
I agree
most people who loves Tupoc was a convicted sex offender
what if he is your next door neighbor or co worker ?
still he is a sexual predator
He did not perform a sexual act with a child it was an adult. Not making it right however it was a grown adult that he had relations with before.
It was not a child
Rape should never be justified.
Wow what a shame,but I'm not surprised because,alot of celebrities are all so called love everybody and giving and all,but behind closed doors its a different story,yes the sylvers had some great hits,I'm not a fan,I'm a Jackson fan though,now some of y'all are dumb ass hell ya'll justifying his terrible actions with omg I love him,he's so cute and my god he's so nice and his music is the best,lol yeah right I'm real and ima be honest ok some of y'all forgiving which is fine,but I'm forgiving to but if someone grown and he can obviously get a grown women or men,you know right from wrong and you still molest your family members or another child its wrong and always will be that's disgusting,people do makes mistakes we all have but being a sex offender or a child molester is real and dirty and that's not a dam mistake and people who do that shit to kids know better so I'm not buying that shit,and dam ya'll women saying he so this or that,girl bye he ain't all that fine actually to me he looks crazy and spaced out and he looks like a dam albino monkey to me lol 😁 lol different opinions,now if he wasn't caught he would be doing that sick shit forever the victims will never forget that never in life,and yes I judge the heart of a person,not looks,talents,music,forever,I judge people on there bad heart,actions and of course personality,if he did this to any of ya'll children ya'll will go crazy on him,if he could do that to the child what makes you think if won't come after yours,hello they will never change,I don't care if it was my brother but if he molested my sons as kids i will kill them,I dont play that sick shit,its not normal behavior,you never know what a person do behind closed doors and foster even molested one of his own niece,his own blood no telling how many times he got away with this nasty shit he knew better,he did his niece the same way,and yes his family be around the internet being nosey seeing what people saying about them,yes them definitely copied some things from the Jackson's that's a fact,what goes around comes around,remember that when you do people wrong in life it does come around,you reap what you sow,sooner or later,and I bet all of you he lost fans to,like others like r Kelly,Michael r.i.p.,and others they losted fans alwell I'm not gonna respect and represent anybody who touches or rapes children,I dont child how old the child looks its wrong to death,I got 4 sons and I'm very protective over my babies nobody will ever hit them,I definitely watch who they are around even family members I watch them to,yes I know I can't watch them 24/7 and I can't keep them in the house ,I just pray and teach them how to behave,stay away from bad people,dont talk to strangers,never let nobody touch them,things like that,oh and be kind to others,and protect and stand up for yourself,alot of evil,nasty,bad people out here today because they wasn't raised right,I'm sorry but I can't forgive a molester I can't,and wont,you do nasty shit in the world aspect you're gonna have a lench mob after you.think about it god bless

I was really surprised to read these comment because in 2007 I was incarcerated with Foster Silvers,
We were in the same holding tank together, someone in the same tank told me who he was, so I went to introduce myself to him, He seem to be down to earth and began to give me his testimony as a born again christian, He claim to find God in Folsom prison after talking to a prophet who came to him one day while in a prison hospital, His reason for being in a hospital was because he had some cyst removed from his left butt cheek, The story he told me seemed to be a little weird, He claimed that he just finished 3 years in Folsom and was just getting released, he claimed he was in there for drug possessing and getting busted saved his life, because his drug use caused him to clogged a spot near his tail bone which after a few years he grew a number of cyst there he described to cyst as being as large as 2 base balls and 7 golf balls and after the doctors removed them their was such a hole on his behind you could fit a cooking wok in it. but this prophet he met told him God would bless him with a gift and this gift was the gift of prophecy and from that time God supernaturally grew him butt back and gave him the ability to see the future. looking back at this and seeing these old post I think Foster was scared because of his charges
always loved the Sylvers still do love you Foster
To the person who said that he didn't assault a child: SEX OFFENDERS are people who perform sexual acts on children! That's why they have to register and can't be around them. I'm disgusted by what I read here. No mention of the victim. No prayers or sympathy for the child, but comments about his looks and love for him. Get this! Molesting children is not a MISTAKE. I'm a huge Sylvers fan and feel sad that he did this, but to excuse this and look the other way. No.
I am a big Sylvers fan and have every album since their Fools Paradise days. I always had the biggest crush on Foster Sylvers and he is still fine. I continue to pray for you and your family. I am so sorry for all of the situation's that you and your family have gone through. Prayer does change things and Foster, I do believe that you have turned your life around. Everyone makes mistakes and the Lord above is a forgiving God! My prayers are always with you and your family! Please give us some new music! You all are very talented!
Yep, There are alot of stone throwers on this blog. You guys rock!!! You are all righteous in the eyes of God....Smh×10 ������ listen, we are all losers in need of the one and only savior Christ who is lord and King!!!! Judgement day will not go as smooth as we think it may for the majority who claim they are not sinners....That my friends is calling GOD an eternal liar when he is incapaable of being what we all are......Sinners. ☺
Poor Foster, stuck with the fact he will be labeled a sex offender for the rest of his days. I have heard stories about the cysts but never on it's entirety. I was aware he had a colostomy for a period of time. My heart goes out to all family groups in the entertainment field. None of their private masters it's ever that. And now with facebook and tmz things are even less private.
Iam a big fan of the sylvers.i will not talk about foster or the victims,but instead let God juge all.because my views on child abuser are very hard! I too grew up loving the sylvers and there songs in 1973 I was a 12yr old boy and fell deeply and passionately in love with pat sylvers and always dreamed i would grow up and be married to her but it was a crush a long crush.i am grown now I have 3 children my own. So I understand when the blogger talks about not letting someone who has been convicted of that kind of crime near your child. But we have to be careful. Not to be so quick to judge. It hard I know when hear these things not to get mad or something. It's very hard,like I said I have 3 kids.but I'm not perfect but I try to do the right thing. Not just for them but for me as well. Every day is a new chance to do right I am not a saint so I try not to judge and it's hard for me too, when I hear or read or see something bad. I would to just speak out and say your bad your evil. But am I that perfect that can pass judgement on someone else so quick and so easy. I'm still trying to get me right everyday, I'm not sure of how I am doing? But i am trying and that's the point. We are all trying in one way or another in one place or another. God is good. So I keep trying. My heart goes out to every blogger and your family because all we can do is try every day sometimes we get it right sometimes we get it wrong but we keep trying and that's all we can do. And my heart goes out to the sylvers be strong be of good heart be of good faith be of good service and most importantly be good to one another
It is unfortunate that Foster had several lapses of judgment at varying points throughout his life as many in the entertainment field have. Unfortunately, he will be registered as a registered sex offender for the rest of his days. They are all very talented and appear to be finally making some kind of a comeback. They deserve it as everyone deserves a second chance. Wish them all the best.
I agree with you.i too wish them well.it would be nice to hear new music by them. And I wish you well too blogger
There is no cure for pedophilia, which makes me wonder what happened to Foster.
I would not want him anywhere near my kids. Yeah only God can judge him, but I can use my common sense to determine his issues outweigh any of his music. Later for the hero worship.
There are a bunch of hero worshippers on the Facebook Remembering The Sylvers group that are die-hard groupies. They won't allow you to make a disparaging comment of any fashion regarding any of the family regardless of how true it could be. Sad that people in their 40s and 50s till act like yesteryears teeny boppers. They even tried to have a fundraiser to buy a headstone for Edmund's gravesite. If Edmund's own family--siblings and extended not to mention his at least 9 children wouldn't pay for one why on God's green earth would someone ask complete strangers to pay for one. Tsk Tsk.
loved them back in the day but damn foster....i dont feel sorry for him at all...i feel sorry for the victim or shall i say victims...its sad really sad
Correction: Sex Offenders are anyone convicted of a sexual offense. That includes rape of an adult or minor, child molestation, phonograghy, etc. Additionally, in some states Sex Offenders also includes anyone that has assaulted (sexually or non-sexually) a minor. That’s why the entire registry needs an overhaul and offenders need to be given restrictions based on the severity of their offense. So don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions when you find out someone is a registered Sex Offender; find out their story first.
I forgot to add indecent exposure (that includes being charged with peeing outside and someone sees you) to that list. That too could get you blackballed from society.
Well I wouldn’t mind if someone did a sexual act to me when I was unconscious. I’d like it.
Personally, I am sad that whatever happened happened. Being in Hollywood, something may have happened to Foster or one of the other Sylvers. The whole thing concerning Olympia seemed to have more to it than stated. While I personally may be wary of Foster, if he made peace with God, that is between him and God.
Okay...let's switch gears here. Does anyone (since this is a blog) want to talk about Edmund having 9 - 11 children? When did all of this happen? I'm curious about who the women were, etc. I've seen (online, FB) about 4 or 5 of his children and they all look like him in some way. Some more than others. Okay, so we have rumors of course, but it seems like (if I'm wrong it's bc I don't know) he went on a "rampage" after he left the family in 1980. But his first son "Ed Boyd Jr". (who's the spitting image of him...more than Jeremy) was born in 1979. And I was shocked when I saw a picture of his daughter "Victoria Sylvers". She looks so much like him it's uncanny. She's so gorgeous!! She even has his freckles. And his kids were born from the West coast...to the East coast. So he was very fertile and free with his "affection". Okay...yes, I'm curious, but let's be real. If I had a chance to be with him back, I would have been buying baby food too. I'm not even gonna front!! Lastly, I've seen a few of the baby mamas (although he'd had children, one each with his two wives, I understand he'd been married twice from what I hear. I don't know about yall, but a movie need to be made or a documentary or a part 2 to the UnSung. On a serious note though, it broke my heart (I actually cried) to know that 1) he died and 2) the way he died. I understand that people really suffer with Lung Cancer. I would have heald him in my arms and cried with him. This is all...for now.
Oh...I meant to conclude with (I've seen a few of Edmund's baby mamas online) was that they were plain-looking women. You'd expect women that were gorgeous...or had "something". But hey...maybe they were good looking to him...Lord only knows. I'm not calling them ugly, but I'm saying you'd be as shocked as I was, I promise you. And take a GANDER at Jeremy Sylver's mother....SMH!! You gotta see that for yourself...Guuud Lawd!! That's all I'm saying. I don't know what the hell was going on. LOL!!
I was so wrong for making the comment below. Whether the person I spoke about ever reads this or not. I can see that most of these comments on this blog are from many years ago. I humbly apologize to Jeremy Sylvers mother. She's actually a beautiful person, with a great personality and more inner beauty than most (so-called) outwardly gorgeous women. I should not have said the things I did and I am ashamed of myself. This is all. Thank you.
This is it : You'd expect women that were gorgeous...or had "something". But hey...maybe they were good looking to him...Lord only knows. I'm not calling them ugly, but I'm saying you'd be as shocked as I was, I promise you. And take a GANDER at Jeremy Sylver's mother....SMH!! You gotta see that for yourself...Guuud Lawd!! That's all I'm saying. I don't know what the hell was going on. LOL!
