Foster Sylvers.   Pride Records.   “Misdemeanor” was a top ten hit in 1973 and still holds up as well as any of the Jackson Five songs from that time.   (Foster was ten!)   It’s just a great, funky, pop-soul song with great arrangements by Jerry Peters.   Other cuts on the album are nice covers including  “I’m Your Puppet”, “Mockingbird”, “I’ll Get You In The End”, “Swooperman”, “More Love”, “Happy Face”, “Lullabye/Uncle Albert”, and “Only My Love Is True”.     Foster was part of another family group “The Sylvers” that had a couple of hits in the mid-seventies, “Boogie Fever” which went to #1 in 1975 and “Hot Line” which reached #3 the next year.
