This success was followed by a cover of Dee Clark's "Hey Little Girl", which charted at number 63 R&B in fall 1973. These releases led to appearances on popular TV shows such as American Bandstand and Soul Train. In 1974, Sylvers released his second album, Foster Sylvers Featuring Pat & Angie Sylvers. By 1975, he joined his siblings in the family act The Sylvers, contributing to their album Showcase.
