Russell Thompkins, Jr. & The New Stylistics - You Make Me Feel Brand New

[@janicechaudhury6043]

My husband and I chose this for our first song at our wedding in 1976. Still loving it 47 years later. Thank you Stylistics; Much love from Ontario, Canada.

[@chrisoates]

The guy who filled in for Arrion Love sounds just like him and Russell Thompkins Jr has still got it. That voice is so iconic

[@nancywood9531]

That is Raymond Johnson.he was guitarist in original group band. He filled in as singer after James Smith and James Dunn quit. He sang and danced for almost 9 years then left . He is with Russell now along with Jonathon Buckson who was school friend and sang as child with Russ in school chorus and with the group at first but went into army .

[@shaunbarker8290]

Absolutely mesmerising. I couldn't agree more . What an iconic group any romantics out there. My other half we've been together fir just over a year and we spend every day together . She's older than me, I'm mid 50's . I was married for 24 years and the missus for 38 to her husband who sadly passed away 4 years ago. She misses him all the time,I help her with her grief. We've talked about our longer term future and I said about marriage one day. This might sound cheesy , but it isn't meant to. I tell her all the time I love her and that I've looked for her all my life. Once or twice that person comes along and you just know that he or she is the one. I've said if or when we get married for that to be our first dance at our wedding reception. She is my life and I love her more and more each day. We are identical in our likes and dislikes . Perfectly matched. My missus is called Julie. Love u honey if you read this 💓

You can't beat the original Russell Thompkins

[@nancywood9531]

Mr Raymond Johnson singing the duo lead on this song. And doing a kickin job of it. His natural voice is so mello and pitch perfect...... Just like Russells. Great group....new Stylistics. 🎶❣🎶love it Raymond...you are perfect on duo with Russell. Jonathon Buckston is great back up singer as well.

[@leslielees5438]

I was born as the son of a coalminer in England and I loved soul music. You were a huge part of my life. You have no idea how much you meant to me..

[@lewisboyd5822]

He still got it that's for damn sure... I always come back to watch this video... old school to the heart

[@belindabarnes1641]

Love Russell Thompkins Jr. It doesn't matter if he is a Stylistic or New Stylistic, he is still a great performer and veteran entertainer. The music that he sings with both groups is timeless. I appreciate that he shares his voice with the world.

That's Raymond Johnson who was with Stylistics as guitarist then filled in for james Smith and James Dunn when they quit. He joined Russell again when Russ left as did conductor/ pianist and al. The band.

@@nancywood9531 Well, thank you, Nancy.....!

[@nancywood9531]

@@mistergeorgie you are welcome. I'm sort of into the history, biography, discography of quite a few of my favorite groups. Stylistics are my number 1, glad to answer questions people may have if I know the answers.have great evening. 🎶❣

[@mistergeorgie]

@@nancywood9531 I rediscovered the Stylistics quite by chance two or three years ago via a track from one of their later albums (‘Love Talk’) which turned up out-of-the-blue during a trial of Amazon Music. Since then, I’ve bought an listened to several of the later albums... as well as revisiting the first three albums. I have them on my iPhone... and I binge listen. I wouldn’t say they’re my favourite.... but some of the Thom Bell productions are way up there for me. Some of the later tracks I have a slight problem with. I want to sing along... but I can’t make out the odd phrase or two (a common problem with pop!). And I can neither track down the sheet music (I guess they’re unpublished or out-of-print) and nor do the songs appear on any lyric sites. (‘Habit’, ‘Hang Your Teardrops Up To Dry’, ‘Hurry Up This Way Again’, ‘Me - You = Blue’, and my favourite Stylistics track: ‘I Just Don’t What To Do’).

Cresci pensando que esse dueto era a maior canção romântica de todos os tempos e que era interpretada por um homem e uma mulher. Quando descobri que eram Airrion Love e o brilhante Russell Thompkins Jr. isso não mudou minha percepção, porque o amor é um sentimento universal e essa música é algo atemporal.
