If The Sylvers were still on SOLAR records or had a deal with COnstellation Records, they would've had a video for this song, because Griffen records gave up on the group after the release of this. Their Bandstand appearance in early 1985 was a attempt to save their careers, but it failed since Bandstand was declining in popularity by the mid-1980's. Soul Train should have recruited them but they were so busy getting pop/new wave artists around that time.

This was released in '85 I thought! They it on the radio in San Francisco, CA I was glad to hear them again. They were sounding like Dynasty LOL it was so confusing, then enter Shalimar LOL! They never would show the video's back then. I believe Leon was spear heading everything. Then rap was on the scene LOL...go figure

"Boomerang" was an excellent breakdancing/pop locking track, but better performed if Krystol had recorded it. The Jacksons Victory success and Michael Mania also took away the success of the Sylvers' brief comeback too (the timing was wrong for the public), since both groups were musically simular except that The Sylvers were more funky. The Sylvers also had the wrong hand dealt with by several record companies through their 12 year career.

Wow Unsung interview was EXPLOSIVE, I never knew what Olympia was going through. I had no clue Ricky & Foster were in prison for parole violations. I am glad they're getting it together. But I must say they sound good still. Angie was always my favorite. I didn't expect so much weight gain tho LOL, but I was glad to see them, and they all looked good. I must say I had the whole Leon situation mixed up, the group actually voted him out and got screwed in the end over a record contract SMDH

The Comments on here are terrific and on point! Despite the Great Music that came from our favorite artists and other black R&B artists, it was clear to me even then that there was stagnation and and uncertainty within the music industry..As if the record companies didn't know what to do with our music. I figured they would get it together, but I guess not. I admit that there is still good black music today, you just have to search for it. Commercial radio is dead! Thank God for the Internet!

You know she tried to holla. The nerve of her still trying to win. I told her I'm single to rub it in even more. She gave me her number[well, I heard numbers but you know I didn't remember them]. You were right on time with my song. Re-venge, fell the re-venge baby. Yeah!!!!! Thanks again Croon3.

OMG - i have this and almost every other Sylvers album ( check my page for a Free Style remix) yes, this album was about 2 years too late, it didnt unitlize the groups harmonies. NO LEON, the new wave beats were already over used by that time. the new look as well, almost like when the village people did it. it was totally rejected by the public, and the group was dumped, and are now unsung.

IMO Bottom Line was exactly what 1985 sounded like and shoulda been released and would have been a POP hit for them. I like this song but it doesn't scream "single" in 1984. Now "You Turn Me On" should have been first then Falling For Your Love followed by Bottom Line then Boomerang just an opinion
@soulchildsacomin

@willjarmon You are right about that! The title track is a good touch too, but I after listening to it for a long time, it does'nt have a potential for US release but fans in UK would've definetly love Bizarre because it was a funky Whispers groove that the British were into at the time (same thing with "Tension"). "You Turn Me On" was great, but not as much of a potential for a single. The other songs you mention, YES!

David Geffen didn't know how to market the Sylvers. The proof is obviously known. I'm falling for your love should've been a big hit for them. Again Geffen records had no clues how to market the Sylvers. Sad because they should've gotten more of a push from the label.

This is the first of two singles off of Bizzare. Big mistake releasing this song as a single. I like this song, but "Boomerang" and the title tracks should have been released in place of this because they are addicting and very cutting edge. This was around the time Leon Sylvers was experimenting a pop/new wave sound, but I think it fits Shalamar better, not The Sylvers. The Sylvers (in the 80's) are suppose to be funky. However, this song was in the top 50 on the R&B charts.
