No less than nine of the ten brothers and sisters in the family — Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, James, Edmund, Ricky, Angie, Pat, Foster — performed in the group that was viewed as a Southern version of the Jackson 5. Their 1972 Pride single "Fool's Paradise" got things going in the right direction, reaching number 14 on the R&B charts. They had three other Top Ten R&B hits in the '70s, but their biggest song was "Boogie Fever" in 1975. It perfectly captured the disco spirit and topped both the R&B and pop charts that year. "Hot Line" was another Top Ten on both lists in 1976, and their second biggest single. They scored another Top 20 R&B single on Casablanca in 1978, "Don't Stop, Get Off," but the charming qualities of their earlier material seemed more calculated. They couldn't recapture the spark during their mid-'80s period on Geffen.

[Verse 1]
The day I left you, you were full of tears
You said you'd wait for me until I return ('Til I return)
But now I'm back and find you still in tears
You say the time has let another slip in
[Chorus]
So I'm sorry girl, but only one can win your love
And you must choose between the two
(Only) one can win your love that brings
Eating me through and through (Without my love)
[Verse 2]
Hey baby I'm really not the jealous type
But when it comes to you I'll clean up mighty fine
I thought your love would leave me
After the sound of another's voice
But when you tell me you love me too
Sugar, you have to make a choice
[Chorus]
So I'm sorry girl, but only one can win your love
And you must choose between the two
(Only) one can win your love that brings
Eating me through and through (Without my love, love)
(Only) only one can win your love
And you must choose between the two
(Only) one can win your love that brings
Eating me through and through (Without my love, love)
Bridge]
Girl, girl
Oh, ho, ho
(Only) one can win, only one can win your love
(Without my love, love)
Girl, girl
(Only) Ooh hoo (Only one can win, only one will win)
(Only one can win, only one will win)
(Without my love, love)
(Only) one can, only one can win your love
(Only, only one can win, only one will win)
Through and through (Without my love, love)
Girl, girl
JR Rodriguez
R.I.P. J.Dilla. One of the greatest hip hop producers of all time who sampled a cut from this song for his final album Donuts. You dont have to be a hip-hop fan to appreciate him, J.Dilla was a true musical genius.
Docmananoff
Let's not overlook the Original here...Lol
JR Rodriguez
I would never overlook an "original". I just give credit where its due. 😄
Justin Penn
+MrElprota how are you giving credit where it's due when Leon Sylvers is the one who wrote and produced this. All dilla did was take the track and put a rap over it, that's it
JR Rodriguez
Alright Justin, lets get this straight. I respect Leon Sylvers for creating this song but being that music taste is Subjective......i decided to praise J.Dilla......which is what i said in my "original"...comment....haha.
ですマスドレ
+Justin Penn but have you heard it? He perfectly samples this. He didn't just "put a rap over it". Smfh

The Sylvers were a great group of singer-songwriters that didn't get the recognition they deserved.

They had a lot of stiff competition
Matthew Ensign
...The amount of respect I have right now for both artist's. I mean...Two really CAN win. Two classics for the price of one. I seriously can't think of a more clever message. It's like a miniature cosmic explosion that can't be undone. Oh well, guess I'll have to live with it. Art can really surprise you, sometimes.
Christina Michele
Letsbang Okay Looks like 3 can win! Thanks for blowing my puny mind dude!
