The Sylvers - I'll Never Be Ashamed Again

Strange, if you will, that a Capitol-signed chart-topping act can be considered a 'lost treasure'. And yet, this 10-man family band faded into obscurity in the mid-80s, dwarfed by the success of the Jackson 5 or even Tavares. This song is a perfect three minute sugar rush, equipped with tight harmonies and dated falsetto.
