They don't make music like this anymore

[@Bozmusic1]

The Stylistics had a ton of hits like this. And they all were primarily written by Thom Bell and the late lyricist Linda Creed.

That's why we won't let real music die. Us ol farts keep it going and rock on.

Great selection MRM. Back when the singing was about the song. Nothing pretentious or self-endulgent. So smooth.

[@onsesejoo2605]

The backing is also with taste, leaving plenty of room for the vocals to stand out. Nowadays the singers struggle over the DJ producer created mass of sounds which feels desperate to fill everything with stimulation, ending up losing details to mass.

Music making became accessible to just about anyone. You no longer needed to know how to sing or how to play instruments. It's become more and more about looks and lifestyle than music.

Elizabeth, they were massive and much loved over here in ENGLAND uk

[@CassieLopez]

When I was 16 (1975) the local radio station played an hour of the Stylistics every night at the same time. My boyfriend and I couldn't talk much on the phone, because we were on a party line and people could just listen in, or come on and yell at us to stop tying up the line. So we'd listen to a couple of songs and then call up and talk for a bit, then listen to a couple more. This was one of our absolute favorites.

[@venetianlucifer]

It was so easy to fall in love.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Beautiful song. You (and your mom!) would probably like the Spinners, too. I recommend the Spinners' "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" from 1972 from their appearance on "Soul Train."

Great choice 👍

Dude, there were so many love songs back then..A lot to fall in love to, and also, a lot to breaks hearts with..It was a sweet time for music lovers...The young folks, who are reacting to all these old tunes need to do a lot more of this genre, as well.

Yesterday's songs were about the emotions. Today's songs are about "the act", and not in a respectful way. A coarsening of society and it's view of relationships, sad to say.

[@MichaelWilliams-qn2qk]

So right

[@mrbunzer]

Older music, real music to the people who lived through the times mostly regarded music as an "Art" and not a business. Music after 1997 sounds like a production line factory of "music" with the odd gem thrown in. I think with Queen being played so much younger people are starting to realize new is not actually better. Today music is totally business first with the talent and quality of the music secondary. That's my opinion and yours may differ.

[@colinglen4505]

you're right about the style being different. I would go so far as to say that the older music benefitted society , whereas much of the modern music is detrimental to society.

[@cbilky2914]

the 70s R&B was such a great era ..i love their first album ''the Stylistics '' it is in my playlist my favorite song on it is ''You are Everything''

It was absolute magic, The Stylistics were the smoothest of them all. It’s universal cuz it was all about love.

[@Lfg117]

So many iconic songs by them. Just thinking about "You are everything" literally gave me goose bumps - on my legs. 70s Brothers were transcendent - like Prince. I guarantee u Prince was influenced by the Stylistics. Wow.

[@jessiem276]

That's a beautiful song! Yes, I've definitely heard this before. It's sad that we don't have these types of songs,, today. I don't understand how everything went so wrong, with the music industry. People need to stop buying it, but..maybe that's what the kids of today want.

Late Highschool early college days right there. Love this song, brings back very nice memories from Freshman year in College. Had dances in the dining hall every Saturday I believe. Had my “special friend” that I was always sooooo happy to be slow dancing with. Great memory.🥰

The wonderful Philly sound...everybody loved the Stylistics, Blue Magic and more. The lead singer, Russell Thompkins, Jr. sang in falsetto, which was popular back in the day. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@unrulyjulie4382]

Please, please listen to "Telephone Line" by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)! It came out in 1977. ELO was fronted by Jeff Lynne, who wrote and produced ALL of their songs and albums. They were pioneers of "progressive rock" and combined Beatlesque pop, rock and classical music. They were the only rock band to actually have two cellos and a violinist as part of the band. Jeff also produced and co-wrote albums for Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison to name just a few. He produced two songs on the "Beatles Anthology" album and was a member of the "Traveling Wilbury's" along with the aforementioned Petty, Harrison, Orbison and Bob Dylan.

[@glenn20081965]

[@tammywhatever8602]

Ty, I am 55. THIS band was my first love of music. I've known it my whole life. Later on, I loved Bad Company, then on to AC/DC, Judas Priest and Korn. NO ONE could ever replace my Stylistics - EVER. My 2nd child was born in 1995 & I sang all the Stylistics songs I loved & the Joe Cocker's song "You Are So Beautiful" while I breastfed my son in the mid 1990's. It's SICKENING to see the country we have today... WTF?? Something's not right out there. I search to find "feel good" music & it's nothing but SH*T. 🥺 Keep up on the great music!

In the early 70’s there was each culture black , white putting out beautiful music from Motown to Pink Floyd and every thing in between. I can sense the frustration on the renisonce man with that moan knowing that newer is definitely NOT better.

[@rosepearl7092]

Oh! What a lovely song! My Dad, may he rest in peace, liked this song very much. He had an 8-track tape player in his car and had several Stylistics tunes but this was his favorite. He used to play this while he was driving me to school. I miss my Dad...

When I was a kid in the late 70s, this kind of soul music was just on the radio when we drove between Boston, MA to Philadelphia, PA where my grandfather and relatives lived.

When these songs were on the radio, we were riding around drinking Ripple and having so much fun!! Betcha By Golly Wow was my husband’s and my song when we were dating. We saw the Stylistics at the Fox Theatre in Detroit like 3 or 4 different times. I also saw Smokey, the Temptations, and the Four Tops. Their music is just GREAT!! ❤️🎵

[@godquest52]

When I first heard this song, I was going to Basic Training in the Army. I was leaving everything behind and didn't know if I would pass this way again, and then Russell Thompkins tore me up with his amazing falsetto voice. Ya'll I thought I was hearing an angel. The greatest falsetto of all time. Of course I made it back or I wouldn't write this down. I'm an old man, but I still have a young heart. But in the end time has it's way with all of us. God bless ya'll. This is your boy from Tennessee! Peace!

[@fostermac7170]

Senior in high school in 1974. Slow jam for ALL parties. Was a number 1 song, but was equaled by the Stylistics earlier output, such as "You Are Everything", "Stop, Look, Listen" and others. Used the patented 'call and response' vocal method, which in the early to mid 70's meant somebody to sing the "boy" (baritone, low tenor), and "girl" (high tenor, falsetto) parts. As you might imagine this song was a favorite for high school and college vocal groups to copy if you could find somebody to sing falsetto. Of course, you could use a female as well in a song duo. Like this? Try listening to any output by Blue Magic. Further, this song was produced out of Phillip by Thom Bell's production house. Google that and be impressed by their song output. When you compliment the writing, understand that you are complimenting many years of hard work and educating of musical theory to these writers and producers and performers. No computer to write their music for them. They wrote this stuff out long hand, bar after bar after bar. They played ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS, and they wrote their vocal arrangements tracking various instruments. In short, these are grown-assed people doing this stuff. That's why it sounds like it sounds.

[@billbodger4723]

This was when singing was the thing there were so many great group like these,great singers great songs so sad those days are gone.

[@Bozmusic1]

There's such an incredible backstory to this song. The writers are Tom bell, a black composer piano player, and Linda Creed a white Jewish woman who's a lyricist. To make a long story short Linda wrote this song about her songwriter partner tom. It was basically an appreciation for all the good things they had accomplished when he joined her or rather she join him as being songwriters, and all the special things that happened in her life. Such a beautiful story depicted for one songwriter talking about their partner.

[@alphoj]

Grew up in the 70's and my uncle's/aunt's played this at picnics, house parties, receptions, and cleaning up days.
