Second. I will refrain from making any "Foster child" jokes. Eleven-year-old Foster Sylvers, backed by his sisters Pat and Angie, had a #7 R&B hit and #22 pop hit in July 1973 with Misdemeanor.

Among the Sylvers' 1970s hits are Hot Line, High School Dance, Fool's Paradise, Any Way You Want Me and the 1976 number one Boogie Fever. The group disbanded in 1985.
